Writing video data on a stream

[jai-dewani]

I could only find examples for writing the data stream coming from youtube-dl to a file, are there any examples or functions for writing the data on a response object by using res.wirte() or other suitable methods?

nevermind I stumbled upon the solution myself. Thanks :)

app.get("/download/:videoUrl", function(req, res) {
    var video = youtube("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + req.params.videoUrl, 
    ["--format=18"],
    {cwd: cwd});
    var size, filename;

    video.on("info", function(info) {
        console.log("Download Started");
        if (info.track === null) {
            track = String(info.title + ".mp4");
        }
        else {
            track = String(info.track + ".mp4");
        }
        // console.log(track);
        size = info.size
        filename = info._filename
        res.writeHead(200, {
            "Content-Disposition": "attachment;filename=" + filename,
            'Content-Type': 'video/mp4',
            'Content-Length': size
        });
    });;

    video.on('data',(data)=>{
        res.write(data)
    })

    video.on('end',(end)=>{
        console.log('Download end')

        res.end();
    })
});
