Important

Unfortunately I have to inform you that I will no longer publicly develop the library.

Unfortunately, there is a valid reason for this. Meanwhile, there is a game of cat and mouse between Google and the reversers of YouTube source code. Whenever an update is implemented by Google and a reverser enters this into its library, Google changes something in the source code so that the external code has to be updated again.

That doesn't get any further.

But no fear!

If you would like to have the last update of the library, please write me an email to [email protected]. I will send it back to you by return of post.

Best regards.
