I believe what they are doing is using youtube-dl to convert the URL into its raw form (hosted on googlevideo). If you copy the link they are embedding on their site, you'll see that it's posted on googlevideo.com
So probably just the youtube-dl --get-url command
If you do that and copy the url into your browser, it's the same as using hooktube.
Edit: Just tested this and it works
youtube-dl [URL] -g -f 43
This produces the link that you can copy into your browser for direct streaming
