A paragraph describing in a nutshell what the project does. Context and relevance.
A module to download videos from yotube url (as well as other) would be useful. Perhaps with support to download captions when available.
Inspired by
Electron app proof of concept:
I got frustrated with the firefox plugin I was using to achieve the same and so I gave it a try at making an electron app, that given a youtube url can
download the file locally as mp4
download as mp3, wav, mov
download associated captions.
using youtube-dl
but can't seem to work with vimeo.
It be good for this to be compatible with direct url to video files.
eg, prototype, working app, rolled out with users etc..
youtube-dl exists as a library. Example usage in projects mentioned above. A component needs to be defined and abstracted. also needs evaluating whether this is necessary, using youtube-dl might prove to be enough for most cases?
What are the things that are currently most challenging for your project?
Feedback on how to extract/create a standalone reusable module to download videos from youtube (and others
and what the interface should be,
if anyone knows how youtube-dl binary is implemented under the hood? eg does it use ffmpeg? can it be used cross platform?
Any components you'd like to abstract/share/open source?
Github repo for the project if open source
Link to site, demo (and/or video)
eg github project page or README where can find out more
Eg programming languages, frameworks etc..
