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 transcoded to produce a single mp4 file.
This is built on yt-dlp. yt-dlp will auto update every 12 hours to make sure it's running the latest nightly build.
Note: This was written to run on a home network and should not be exposed to public traffic. There's no auth.
Make sure you have yt-dlp and FFmpeg installed then pull the repo and run:
./run.shOr for docker locally:
./docker-build.sh
./docker-run.shWith 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.
MR_DOWNLOAD_DIRwhere videos are saved. Defaults to/downloadMR_PROXYwill pass the value to yt-dlp witht he--proxyargument. Defaults to empty
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));
After you have your server up, install this shortcut. Update the endpoint to your server address by editing the shortcut before running it.
