Set your youtube url

- (void)downloadMultiAFN:(NSString *)userIDFrom messageId:(NSString *)msgId message:(NSString *)message url:(NSString *)url contact:(NSString *) contact nickName:(NSString *)nickName  {
    imageUrlPathForSharingMessgeId=msgId;

    NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:url];
    NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];
    AFHTTPRequestOperation *downloadRequest = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
    [downloadRequest setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {

        NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithData:responseObject];

// you can save video or image with avi or png  
      //  [[DBManagernew getSharedInstance] saveDataUploadImage:msgId isRead:NO isSend:YES isReceipt:NO image:data];
      //  imageIsSelected=NO;
  // [self fetchAllMessage];



    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"file downloading error : %@", [error localizedDescription]);
    }];

    [downloadRequest start];


}
