This is a collection of utilities for working with Google Video APIs, with a primary focus on UMP.
- Video Streaming Protos
- UMP (Parser)
- ServerAbrStream (SABR Client)
- ChunkedDataBuffer (Buffer Manager)
The protobuf definitions were extracted from YouTube's Android and iOS clients, and the UMP parser and buffer manager are based on the implementation currently found on youtube.com.
Usage examples can be found here.
# NPM
npm install googlevideo
# JSR / Deno
npx jsr add @luanrt/googlevideo
deno add jsr:@luanrt/googlevideo
# GitHub
npm install LuanRT/googlevideoimport GoogleVideo, { PART, Protos } from 'googlevideo';
const streamingUrl = 'https://abcd--a.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?...';
const response = await fetch(streamingUrl, { method: 'POST' });
const arrayBuffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
const dataBuffer = new GoogleVideo.ChunkedDataBuffer();
dataBuffer.append(new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer));
const googUmp = new GoogleVideo.UMP(dataBuffer);
googUmp.parse((part) => {
switch (part.type) {
case PART.MEDIA_HEADER: {
console.log('[MediaHeader]:', Protos.MediaHeader.decode(part.data.chunks[0]));
break;
}
case PART.MEDIA: {
const headerId = part.data.getUint8(0);
const streamData = part.data.split(1).remainingBuffer;
console.log('[Media]:', `Header ID: ${headerId}`, `length: ${streamData.getLength()}`);
break;
}
case PART.MEDIA_END: {
const headerId = part.data.getUint8(0);
console.log('[MediaEnd]:', `Header ID: ${headerId}`);
break;
}
default:
console.log('Unhandled part:', part.type);
break;
}
