YoutubeDL-Material

YoutubeDL-Material is a material design frontend for youtube-dl. It's coded using Angular 5 for the frontend, and Nodejs on the backend.

Getting Started

Check out the prerequisites, and go to the installation section. Easy as pie!

Here's an image of what it'll look like once you're done:

frontpage

With optional file management enabled (default):

frontpage_with_files

Prerequisites

You need to have a functioning web server for this to work. Also make sure you have these dependencies installed on your system: ffmpeg, nodejs, python. If you don't, run this command:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg nodejs python

Installing

First, download the latest release!

Drag all the files in youtubedl-material to a location accessible to a web server. It works best if it's the root (usually right inside public_html. Once that's done, navigate to backend and edit the default.json file. If you're using SSL encryption, look at the encrypted.json file for a template.

Port forward 17442 if you're going to access YoutubeDL-Material from out of your network. This is an important step. Make sure the configuration reflects this appropriately.

Once the configuration is done, type sudo nodejs app.js. This will run the backend server. On your browser, navigate to your installation folder. Try putting in a youtube link to see if it works. If it does, viola! YoutubeDL-Material is now up and running.

If you experience problems, know that it's usually caused by a configuration problem. The first thing you should do is check the console. To get there, right click anywhere on the page and click "Inspect element." Then on the menu that pops up, click console. Look at the error there, and try to investigate.

Deployment

If you'd like to install YoutubeDL-Material, go to the Installation section. If you want to build it yourself and/or develop the repository, then this section is for you.

To deploy, simply clone the repository, and go into the youtubedl-material directory. Type npm install and all the dependencies will install. Then type cd backend and again type npm install to install the dependencies for the backend.

Once you do that, you're almost up and running. All you need to do is edit the configuration in youtubedl-material/backend/config, go back into the youtubedl-material directory, and type ng build --prod. This will build the app, and put the output files in the youtubedl-material/dist folder. Drag those files into a web server, and drag the backend directory into the same folder. This folder should have index.html in it as well. If it does not, you're in the wrong directory.

The frontend is now complete. The backend is much easier. Just go into the youtubedl-material/backend folder, and type sudo nodejs app.js.

Finally, port forward the port 17442 and point it to the server's IP address. Make sure the port is also allowed through the firewall.
