YT

YouTube videos as mp4 in a simple web application.

This app was developed as a way to practice Flask, Bootstrap and Docker. It uses the YouTube DL library to search and download YouTube videos, that are embedded in an HTML video player using base64 encoding.

This application was never installed in a virtual machine in order to watch YouTube videos in a network where the site is blocked.
