Youtube Downloader

Description

Download videos or entire playlists from youtube.
You can specify if you want only audio, the video or both in separated files.

Getting Started

It uses a simple UI created with streamlit, where you can follow the steps pretty easily.

Choose between downloading a video or a playlist
Add the link
Choose a download type. You could download the normal youtube video, only the audio or both.
Choose a quality for the video
Hit the "Download" button
Wait

Note:

If you are downloading a playlist, these options apply to every link
If the resolution is not available, it will download the highest

Install with docker

git clone https://github.com/JonathanElejalde/youtube_downloader.git
cd youtube_downloader
docker build -t youtube:1.0 .
docker run --name youtube_downloader -p 8501:8501 -v $(pwd)/downloads:/home/youtube_downloader/downloads/ youtube:1.0

Usage with docker

Now you can access the app on http://localhost:8501/.

The next time that you need to start the app, you can use the following command:
docker start -i youtube_downloader, then we can access the app on http://localhost:8501/.

Install without docker

git clone https://github.com/JonathanElejalde/youtube_downloader.git
cd youtube_downloader
pip install -r requirements.txt

Important

Because the app converts the mp4 audio to mp3 using pydub, you're going to
need ffmpeg. However, you can decide not to convert to mp3
and avoid this download. For this, you just need to pass convert=False when
instantiating the Downloader object.

You change this code in app.py line 59

# Change this
downloader = Downloader(link, video=video, audio=audio, playlist=playlist, quality=quality)
# For this
downloader = Downloader(link, video=video, audio=audio, playlist=playlist, quality=quality, convert=False)

Usage

Once you have installed everything, you can just run this command

streamlit run app.py

Motivation

I wanted to download some coding tutorials to be able to watch them offline. Also, it is a good way to practice my python skills and use streamlit which is a new tool that I trying to learn
