AllTube Download

HTML GUI for youtube-dl (alltubedownload.net)

Setup

From a release package

You can download the latest release package here.

You just have to unzip it on your server and it should be ready to use.

From Git

In order to get AllTube working, you need to use Yarn and Composer:

yarn install
composer install

This will download all the required dependencies.

(Note that it will download the ffmpeg binary for 64-bits Linux. If you are on another platform, you might want to specify the path to avconv/ffmpeg in your config file.)

You should also ensure that the templates_c folder has the right permissions:

chmod 770 templates_c/

(You need to adapt this to your permission model. You can find more information about this in the Smarty documentation.)

If your web server is Apache, you need to set the AllowOverride setting to All or FileInfo.

Update

When updating from Git, you need to run yarn and Composer again:

git pull
yarn install --prod
composer install

On Heroku

Config

If you want to use a custom config, you need to create a config file:

cp config/config.example.yml config/config.yml

PHP requirements

You will need PHP 5.5 (or higher) and the following PHP modules:

• fileinfo
• intl
• mbstring
• curl

Web server configuration

Apache

You will need the following modules:

• mod_mime
• mod_rewrite

Nginx

Here is an exemple Nginx configuration:

server {
        server_name localhost;
        listen 443 ssl;

        root /var/www/path/to/alltube;
        index index.php;

        access_log  /var/log/nginx/alltube.access.log;
        error_log   /var/log/nginx/alltube.error.log;

        types {
                text/html   html htm shtml;
                text/css    css;
                text/xml    xml;
                application/x-web-app-manifest+json   webapp;
        }

        # Deny access to dotfiles
        location ~ /\. {
                deny all;
        }

        location / {
                try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri /index.php?$args;

                fastcgi_param     PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
                fastcgi_param     PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
                fastcgi_param     SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_intercept_errors off;

                fastcgi_buffer_size 16k;
                fastcgi_buffers 4 16k;

                include fastcgi_params;
        }
}

Other dependencies

You need avconv in order to enable conversions. If you don't want to enable conversions, you can disable it in config.yml.

On Debian-based systems:

sudo apt-get install libav-tools

You also probably need to edit the avconv variable in config.yml so that it points to your ffmpeg/avconv binary (/usr/bin/avconv on Debian/Ubuntu).

Use as library

AllTube can also be used as a library to extract a video URL from a webpage.

You can install it with:

composer require rudloff/alltube

You can then use it in your PHP code:

use Alltube\Config;
use Alltube\VideoDownload;

require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

$downloader = new VideoDownload(
    new Config(
        [
            'youtubedl' => '/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl',
        ]
    )
);

$downloader->getURL('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');

The library documentation is available on alltube.surge.sh.

You can also have a look at this example project.

JSON API

We also provide a JSON API that you can use like this: /json?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DdQw4w9WgXcQ

It returns a JSON object generated by youtube-dl. You can find a list of all the properties in the youtube-dl documentation.
