play a youtube video in matlab

To play a YouTube video in MATLAB, you need to use the YouTube API to retrieve the video data and a video player to play the video. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. First, you need to get a YouTube Data API key. You can follow the instructions here to get one: https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application

2. Next, use the "webread" function in MATLAB to retrieve the video data from YouTube. You will need to pass in the URL of the video you want to play, along with your YouTube API key. Here is an example:

main.m
url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=<VIDEO_ID>&key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&part=snippet,player';
data = webread(url);
128 chars
3 lines

Replace <VIDEO_ID> with the ID of the YouTube video you want to play, and <YOUR_API_KEY> with your actual YouTube API key.

3. Once you have the video data, you can extract the URL of the video player and pass it to the "web" function in MATLAB to open the video player in MATLAB. Here is an example:

main.m
player_url = data.items(1).player.embedHtml;
web(player_url);
62 chars
3 lines

This will open the default web browser in MATLAB and play the video.

Note that you will need an active internet connection to play the video.
