yo folks,

today im gonna show you how to create your own youtube player(video-music) with Visual Basic 2008!

 

First of all,

Download Visual Basic 2008(best version imo), it's free.

 

After installing it open it and press on File->New project.

Press on Windows Form Application, erase the WindowsApplication1 and write: My youtube player and press OK.

 

Like this:

Now, you will have a blank form in front of your eyes, expand it a little like this:

width=1024 height=624http://i.imgur.com/AZSZyln.png[/img]

 

After doing this, pick x2 buttons and 1 textbox. (Take your mouse to the left corner and a toolbox will appear)

 

So, open again toolbox and press right click on common controls and then choose items. A small window will appear with 3 different tabs. .NET Framework Components , COM Components , WPF components. Press on the COM components and search for the: "Shockwave Flash object" and tick it. Like this:

width=1024 height=614http://i.imgur.com/m1UGn2T.png[/img]

 

Now, expand it a bit so the video window will be enough good to see the videos from there. Like this: width=1024 height=616http://i.imgur.com/T6KBoir.png[/img]

 

Rename button1 in: Play!

Rename button2 in: EXIT

Rename Form1 in: My Youtube Player!

Change the icon in: to w/e u want

 

Now we came to the coding part finally.. Double click on Button1 aka Play! And paste the following code:

 

If TextBox1.Text.Contains("watch?v=") Then

            TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace("watch?v=", "v/")

            AxShockwaveFlash1.Movie = TextBox1.Text

        Else

            AxShockwaveFlash1.Movie = TextBox1.Text

        End If

 

Double click on Button2 aka EXIT And paste the following code:

 

Me.close()

 

Double click on TextBox1 and paste the following code:

 

If TextBox1.Enabled Then

            AxShockwaveFlash1.Visible = True

        End If

 

This code will make ur program to hide the player till the user put his youtube url. after putting the URL the player will showup (recommended if u want to put nice backgrounds)

 

And with a little imagination you can make your program like this:

Hey,

Sorry for double post, I just noticed that I wrote something wrong.

 

At the EXIT button you should write:

 

Me.Close()

 

And not Me.Exit()

 

Sorry, my bad. Probably i was confused with the exit button and I wrote exit instead of .Close.

 

First post updated as well, sorry again.

how about add a search button?

now taking the link from browser and paste it in there is kinda silly

 

Thinking of it, how should I code it.

 

Probably I will need a bigger window.
