Youtube flv download

I had a php script that would copy an flv file from Youtube to my server when passed a a URl like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXX
It doesn't work anymore and I have been manually getting the youtube flv URL using keepvid.com

Now Keepvid use a signed applet, so that stops me getting the url programatically.

Does anyone have a working solution in PHP?

Please don't post names or links to software I need to download and install that will allow me to save a youtube video.

 

You need download video to your server.
You can use curl or file_get_contents functions.

 

I know this, but what I need is a way to convert the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXX to a URL where I can download the actual FLV file.

 

You need to get youtube token file.

I have the script, PM if you want.

 

just use youtube api
