Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately getVideoInfo () not from anymore the results that you manage with your code, particularly the index "url_encoded_fmt_stream_map" it doesn't exist anymore, but it is necessary to intercept the index "player_response."
I attach you a code what works alone if is present the index 'url' , but unfortunately in the most greater part of the video Youtube the url is now drowned in the index "cipher", that I don't know whether to decipher.
for example the id: "QGV14x_8-eQ" directly returns an url downloadable, while the id "7cGWMlcAWq4" not!
Do You succeed there even?
This is the code
`<?PHP
//$id = "QGV14x_8-eQ";
$id = "7cGWMlcAWq4";
$data = youtube_info($id);
foreach($data[0] as $h => $v) echo ($h.":".$v."
");

function youtube_info($id)
	{
		$vformat = "video/mp4"; 				// The MIME type of the video. e.g. video/mp4, video/webm, etc.
		$url = "http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=".$id;
		parse_str(file_get_contents($url),$info);
		if (!array_key_exists('player_response',$info)) 
			$div[0] = 'not found';
			else
			{	$videos = $info["player_response"];
				$i = 0;
				while ($i != 99)
					{ $da = strpos($videos,'{"itag"')+1;
					  $per = strpos($videos,'}',$da) - $da;
					  $data = substr($videos,$da,$per);
					   
					  if (strpos($data,$vformat) && strpos($data,'"quality"')) $itags [$i++] = $data; 
					  
					  $videos = substr($videos,$da + $per);
					  if ( !strpos($videos,'{"itag"') ) $i = 99;
					}
				$y = 0;
				$c = count($itags); $i = 0;
				while ($c--)
					{ $itags[$i] = str_replace ('":' , ':' , $itags[$i] );
					  $itags[$i] = str_replace ('"itag' , 'itag' , $itags[$i] );
					  $array = explode(',"',$itags[$i++]);
					  $base = array();
					  foreach($array as $h => $v) 
						{ $d = strpos($array[$h],":");
						  $ch = substr($array[$h],0,$d);
						  $dt = substr($array[$h],$d+1);
						  if (substr($dt,0,1) == '"') 
						  		$dt = substr($dt,1,strlen($dt)-2);
						  $base[$ch] = str_replace("\\u0026","&",$dt);
						}
					  if (!array_key_exists('url',$base)) 
					  	{ parse_str($base["cipher"],$dturl);
							foreach($dturl as $h => $v) echo ($h.":".$v."<br>");
							$url = $dturl['url'].'&sig='.$dturl['s'];

change {videoid}
there are two of them.

@surajpendhare

how can i use this code in nodejs

I think it's better to use youtube-dl on NodeJS.

Examples

const { getInfo } = require('ytdl-getinfo')
const youtube_video_id = "XxEhuSJF780"; // you can use full url too, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxEhuSJF780

Method 1

getInfo( youtube_video_id ).then(info => {
    // info.items[0] should contain the output of youtube-dl --dump-json
    console.log( info.items[0] )
});

Method 2

getInfo( youtube_video_id, ['--dump-json'] ).then(info => {
    console.log( info.items[0] )
});

References:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ytdl-getinfo

thenandkishorkumawat · 2021-07-24T04:46:22Z

old ytInfoUrl += "www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=" + videoID + "&eurl="
+ URLEncoder.encode("https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/" + videoID, "UTF-8")
+"&html5=1&c=TVHTML5&cver=6.20180913";

and i update new ytInfoUrl

            ytInfoUrl += "www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=" + videoID + "&eurl="
            + URLEncoder.encode("https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/player?key=AIzaSyAO_FJ2SlqU8Q4STEHLGCilw_Y9_11qcW8/" + videoID, "UTF-8")
            +"&html5=1&c=TVHTML5&cver=6.20180913";

but still video not playing and showing the W/System.err: java.io.FileNotFoundException Error
