# Media Roller
A mobile friendly tool for downloading videos from social media.
The backend is a Golang server that will take a URL (YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, etc),
download the video file, and return a URL to directly download the video. The video will be transcoced as needed to produce a single mp4 file.

This is built on [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) which has a list of [supported sites](http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html).

Note: This was written to run on a home network and wasn't originally written to be exposed to public traffic. Currently there's no auth. This might change and feel free to send a pull request, but right now, keep this on your internal network and do not expose it.

# Running
Make sure you have [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) and [FFmpeg](https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg) installed then pull the repo and run:
```bash
./run.sh
```

With Docker: `ronnieroller/media-roller:latest`.
See https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/ronnieroller/media-roller
The files are saved to the /download directory which you can mount as needed.

# API
To download a video directly, use the API endpoint:

```
/api/download?url=SOME_URL
```

Create a bookmarklet, allowing one click downloads (From a PC):

```
javascript:(location.href="http://127.0.0.1:3000/fetch?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href));
```

# Integrating with mobile
After you you have you server up, install this shortcut. Update the endpoint to your server address by editing the shortcut before running it.
