My browser plays the video. How do I download it?

Most recent browsers automatically play a video if it is a format they know how to play. You can ususally download the video by doing File > Save to or ctrl + S.

How do I change config parameters?

You need to create a YAML file called config.yml at the root of your project. Here are the parameters that you can set:

• youtubedl: path to your youtube-dl binary
• python: path to your python binary
• params: an array of parameters to pass to youtube-dl
• curl_params: an array of parameters to pass to curl
• convert: true to enable audio conversion
• avconv: path to your avconv or ffmpeg binary
• rtmpdump: path to your rtmpdump binary

See config.example.yml for default values.

How do I enable audio conversion?

In order to enable audio conversion, you need to add this to your config.yml file:

convert: true
avconv: path/to/avconv

You will also need to install avconv and curl on your server:

sudo apt-get install libav-tools curl
