Go to YouTube and start playing a video, then look at the source code of the webpage. At one point there is a big mess of numbers and letters and those are the links. But like I said, they are encoded and you will have to decode them three times with an online url decoder (search google). You must also replace triple dashes with a single dot, only the single dash between 'o' and 'o' should remain.

Code:
o-o---preferred---ams03s17---v20---lscache2.c.youtube.com
