YouTubeDL

.NET Core app for streaming YouTube videos as audio

Installation

• Pull Docker image
• Set ApiKey environment variable to YouTube API Key
• Optionally set MaxSizeMegabytes environment variable (default 50) to prevent large streams from being loaded
• Optionally set TranscodeFormat environment variable (default '') to transcode before streaming to e.g. mp3, ogg, etc
• Optionally set the AllowUserTranscode environment variable (default 'false') to allow user selection of transcode format with the format query parameter

Usage

First use /get?id=<youtubeid> to get information about the video and request conversion. It returns a JSON table as a response containing information about the video, any errors and success state

Then use /play?id=<youtubeid> to request the video stream. This returns a content type of audio/mpeg by default (unless TranscodeFormat is set) and will attempt to stream the video in audio format back to the browser
