yt-dlp Web UI

A not so terrible web ui for yt-dlp.
Created for the only purpose of consume videos from my server/nas.
I will eventually make this better as soon as I can. Not in the immediate.

Changelog:

26/01/22: Multiple downloads are being implemented. Maybe by next release they will be there.
Refactoring and JSDoc.

04/01/22: Background jobs now are retrieved!! It's still rudimentary but it leverages on yt-dlp resume feature

Now with dark mode

Settings

The avaible settings are currently only:

Server address
Switch theme
Extract audio

Future releases will have:

Multi download on its way
~~Exctract audio~~ done
Format selection

Docker installation

docker pull marcobaobao/yt-dlp-webui:latest
docker run -d -p 3022:3022 -v <your dir>:/usr/src/yt-dlp-webui/downloads marcobaobao/yt-dlp-webui

docker build -t yt-dlp-webui .
docker run -d -p 3022:3022 -v <your dir>:/usr/src/yt-dlp-webui/downloads yt-dlp-webui

Manual installation

npm i
npm run build
npm run fetch

// edit the settings.json specifying the download path or 
// it will default to the following created folder

mkdir downloads

node server.js

Regarding multiple downloads

There's a way to circumvent the single download restriction BUT IT LEADS TO UNDEFINED BEHAVIOUR.
Fire up multiple tabs and make a download for each tab. I know that's horrible but it's gonna be fixed by next release.

Todo list

~~retrieve background tasks~~
better ui/ux
