I'm wokring on a personal project where I need to get the video category associated with a youtube video from the video url but I can't seem to find a solution. The Youtube API gives me a list of video categories but not assocaited with any specific video.
My code is basically scratched.

is there a way you can get video thumbnail from another people video or post?
I tried searching in google and stackoverflow and all i found is getting your own video thumbnail which is working fine by using https://graph.facebook.com/v11.0/443055553744880/thumbnails?access_token=my_access_token but it is not working if i change the video_id to other people video_id (443055553744880 is the video_id). I want to get any public video thumbnail regardless of who post it, not just my own video. Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks in advance
No, that is not really possible.
For access to videos on pages you do not have admin access to, you would need the Page Public Content Access feature - only the purpose of that is to “Provide competitive benchmark analysis”, so it is probably unlikely you would get it approved for other purposes such as to show videos on your site.
And for access to any content on user profiles, you would need the individual user’s permission first.
If you just want to show the videos somewhere, then you can use the Embedded Video & Live Video Player for that, or the oEmbed endpoints.

Checkout PlaylistItems, it returns all the videos from your playlist.
"A playlistItem resource identifies another resource, such as a video,
that is included in a playlist. In addition, the playlistItem resource
contains details about the included resource that pertain specifically
to how that resource is used in that playlist."
For Java code samples, checkout the Official Youtube api-samples/java for code reference.
The YouTube Data API v3 functions Video.insert and Video.update do not contain an option to set the "Game title" as you can when uploading / updating a video in the web UI:
This is only available if the category is set to Gaming.
Edit: To clarify, I do not wish to set the Video Title. This input is used to identify the Game that is being played in the uploaded video and is displayed under the video description.
Is there an API endpoint to set this Game title? Or do I have to POST to https://www.youtube.com/metadata_ajax?action_edit_video=1 like the web UI does?
The Youtube Data API does not have this implemented at this time of writing. And nether we are able to Get the game title as well.
Some youtube videos has those ads show up on video at the bottom of the screen. Is there any which I can find out which videos have these kind of ads?
You can use the listener services which have methods such as onAdStarted().

Is there any way to handle Youtube videos with Cuepoint JS http://cuepoint.org?
Or do you know any alternative?
I tried popcorn.js but it is complex and i'd have i'd have to make a lot of changes at the Youtube player because it doesn't request HTML5 videos and so on...
And the Video.js also has problems to handle Youtube videos...
I don't want to write one skript for the normal HTML5 player and a diffrent skript Youtube player.
And captions/subtitles to video-js youtube playlist player
