Hi!
I have created an web browser and when i enter a youtube video i would like to get the videos length/duration. Is that possible? How can i do this?

Example:
Lets say that i on my web browser enter:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OQq8lvf0MhU

and the site with the video loads up, how would i do to get the length of the currently showed video?
//Thanks in Advance, Zeelia

hi zeelia
the video in YouTubeis displayed by a flash control, so you could use a IHTMLObjectElement:: QueryInterface to get player interface. but you need to query theAPIlibrary anddocuments of the flash component to get its menthods, otherwise the URL of themoviehave been Encrypted so that you couldn't get it easily,and the youtube may use the actionscript to get the length of the flv movie,so you couldlook this thread to get more information.
