# 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.

# Open Issues, missing features

* Conversions are slow, need to be sped up

* Needs to support auth

* Needs a better way to track downloaded media and manage it

* Add ablity to prefer certain quality or format
