Youtube in Unity

Hi, I was wondering if I can link a YouTube channel to my Unity Android APP and every new video that comes on that channel appears in my application.

Thanks.

Your youtube channel will have an RSS feed and I haven't checked but there are probably several plugins for RSS in the unity store. You can get your channels upload rss by using this link where you change '$$anonymous$$yChannelName' to your channel name obviously!

 http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/$$anonymous$$yChannelName/uploads?alt=rss&v=2&orderby=published&client=ytapi-youtube-profile

You could then parse that to find when a new video has been uploaded and find the link of the video, then as @JoshNaylor suggested you can play the video from the link with with a $$anonymous$$ovie Texture.

I have visited the Asset Store and I didn't find any RSS plugin. But, excuse my ignorance, what should I do with the URL you gave me?

You can do it, but you'll need to build an Android Plugin that notifies your application and send the preview, etc

You will need to use Movie Texture : http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-MovieTexture.html. This is a pro-only feature.
