Youtube-dl php script

[sikro94]

Hello,

I have been using youtube-dl for a long time, and I now want to install it on my dedicated server to make it easier for me to download content.

I created a php script that allows me to download the video of my choice to the server, then I download it to my computer, pretty cool!

I am now trying to improve this script in order to redirect only the feed to avoid uploading the video to the server.

Example with this site: https://mpgun.com
It seems to redirect the stream without downloading the video to the server. If you try to download a video that lasts 3 hours, the site will offer you the download immediately!

I think ffmpeg allows you to do that, only I don't know where to start in the code.

Do you have any idea how to set this up in php?

Thank you

Hi, any updates on this? I also want to kinda forward the stream, and not to download the video to the server, as the app will be on heroku and heroku fs is read-only.
