# 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Integrating with mobile
