I need to get the youtube movie while it's played frame by frame, as they are drawn to the screen. Is there a way using v4l2 / /dev/ion or something else, to get the frames as they are displayed?

I know, there is the new screenrecord binary. But I don't want to record the screen, just get the movie frames ( best in full res ) while they are displayed - independent of the displayed movie size. Detecting rebuffering is important too. No frame should be returned during a freezing, not a rotating circle. Thanks a lot for any hints!

You want to ripp off youtube videos as they are streamed? Not sure it's allowed. – shkschneider Apr 25 '14 at 09:45
It's not to rip the video. Just image quality tests on the frames. They are discarded again immediately. – user3387542 Apr 25 '14 at 09:51
And how does it streams? From where? Show use some code. – shkschneider Apr 25 '14 at 09:53
Just play any Youtube video. – user3387542 Apr 25 '14 at 10:00
From what app? Using what code? Explain more or we can't do much, can we? – shkschneider Apr 25 '14 at 12:03
How can I somehow add a second client to the V4L2 system, which gets the frames simultaneous as the display. – user3387542 Apr 28 '14 at 08:08
