yt-storyboard

A simple YouTube storyboard parser. The function accepts three parameters: A string (url) containing the YouTube storyboard spec, a boolean specifying the quality of the storyboard and the duration of the videoclip. The function returns an array with links to the storyboards.

Two of these require the (unofficial) YouTube get_video_info API, which can be found through:

Have fun!
