While watching any Youtube video, if the video element is inspected (in Chrome devtools) then the src attribute of the video tag shows blob:https://youtube.com/somerandomhash instead of the actual source url.

Can I somehow retrieve the actual source url of the video in Javascript (or jQuery) such that it can be played in an isolated tab (That I suppose is the default behavior of HTML5 video players) ?

Thanks.

  • Why don't you just embed the video to the isolated tab? – Christos Lytras Nov 20 '16 at 00:27

  • @ChristosLytras - My use-case requires the exact video source URL so that it can be played in a new tab with the default HTML5 player (and not with the Youtube player wrapper). StevenPenny - Thank you for your help. It certainly seems like a pretty tough job but I think your solution will work. – raj454raj Nov 20 '16 at 15:45
