Finding You Tube URL

Jerry Fowler

2 years ago

As I have mentioned before I have been building my own version of a database of tech help videos. I have it down to just a couple of clicks to get all the information. My last bit of info is the URL for the YouTube URL. is it saved anywhere on Richard's website? if the answer is no, that's fine as I'll just grab it from YouTube's site. but if it is I could gram it at the same time.

Thanks, this has been a fun venture

Can't you right-click on the video and copy the video URL to the clipboard?

Why not just have the URLs point to this site.

I have a Settings Table where I store the URL:
https://599cd.com/blog/display-article.asp?ID=

Then for each Tech Help record I only need to store the ArticleID which can be found in the Querystring of the URL in the Browser.
I concatenate the ID to the URL in a String variable in my code and use Follow Hyperlink to navigate to the correct video in my browser.

I think you'd be better off copying Richards web site video URL. This is way more up to date than YouTube videos.

Gary and Kevin, yes and yes. For no apparent reason, I've stored both sites' URL. So far, I have just been copied and pasted it. but have been able to access all my other data with 2 clicks. Just an old tweaker, lol.

Should be able to parse the dom and get the url too
