web-youtube-dl 0.1.2

A web version of youtube-dl

Issues

Backend issues if a single user hits submit multiple times

• “raise RuntimeError(“Response content longer than Content-Length”)”

Installation

pip install web-youtube-dl

Running

CLI

Installing this project will give you access to two CLI tools, each with a separate purpose:

• web-youtube-dl-cli

  Useful for simply downloading the highest possible quality

  audio of a song. Simply provide the URL and an .mp3 will be downloaded to that

  same directory
• web-youtube-dl

  Useful for running the web service on the local machine. It will

  listen to all local network connections on port 5000 (or whatever port is defined

  in the environment variable YT_DOWNLOAD_PORT).

Docker

This project can optionally be run and managed as a Docker container.

Build the Docker image

docker build . -t  web-youtube-dl:latest --force-rm

Run the service

When running the service via Docker, you can configure where it stores downloaded songs by default and the port the service listens on by setting the appropriate environment variables.

To configure the port, set the environment variable YT_DOWNLOAD_PORT to some other numerical value.

To configure the download path, set the environment variable YT_DOWNLOAD_PATH to some other filesystem path. Note that an unprivileged user must have access to writing to this location. By default, this is set to tmp and does not really need to be changed.
