Playing Youtube / Flash Videos

This is a simple example on how to play a youtube video from your visual basic project. After reading tutorial after tutorial about how to do this and none of them working i decided to figure this out

you will only need the video id so no need to get the whole url

if you can figure out how to parse the videos ID from a search please let me know how you did that

only problem is it doesnt play VEVO videos which i havent really messed with but im sure thats due to copyright stuff in the youtube tos so i wouldnt recommend doing that but i would like to know how to do that for educational purposes but other then that ... works great
