I have some questions regarding the YouTube Live Streaming API:

• Is there any support or code samples for javascript?

• Is it possible to embed the live streaming functionality into Qt applications by using the Qt-WebKit and javascript code, e.g. create broadcasts, bind to streams etc. via HTTP requests?

• Any particularly reason you're still using the QtWebKit module now that it's no longer actively maintained? – MrEricSir Commented Mar 9, 2016 at 19:17
• @MrEricSir I am looking into possibilites of embedding Youtube functionality into a Qt GUI Application. And I assume, QtWebkit is the way to do it in Qt. What is your opinion? What would you suggest? – OnurA Commented Mar 10, 2016 at 9:21
• 1 WebEngine/WebView would be the obvious choices if you're using a recent version of Qt. – MrEricSir Commented Mar 10, 2016 at 18:23
• Isn't the whole module called WebKit, as you include it by Qt+=webkit? – OnurA Commented Mar 10, 2016 at 19:41
• No, the entire QtWebKit module is no longer maintained. It's only available for legacy reasons. – MrEricSir Commented Mar 10, 2016 at 19:51

Creating a Live Event and Live broadcast is language-independent, just use YouTube's Live Streaming HTTP API. Read through the Core Concepts and Life of a Broadcast guides.

Your flow might look something like this:

1. Authenticate the user.
2. Set up and schedule your Live Broadcast object.
3. Start your video encoder and create a Live Stream Object.
4. Bind your Live Stream to your Live Broadcast.
5. Test to verify your video is going through.
6. Set your Live Broadcast to Live.
7. At the conclusion of your event, set your Live Broadcast to Ended.

Note that setting up your encoder is on you. Asking "How do I create an RTMP video encoder in JavaScript" (or qt) is too broad of a question for Stack Overflow.
