cana888, You seem to be having some kind of issue with output buffering. YouTubeToMp3Converter::UpdateVideoDownloadProgress() should look like the following:

        function UpdateVideoDownloadProgress($downloadSize, $downloaded, $uploadSize, $uploaded)
        {
            $percent = round($downloaded/$downloadSize, 2) * 100;
            if ($percent > $this->_percentVidDownloaded)
            {
                $this->_percentVidDownloaded++;
                echo '<script type="text/javascript">updateVideoDownloadProgress("'. $percent .'");</script>';
                ob_end_flush();
                ob_flush();
                flush();
            }
        } 

The following code:

                ob_end_flush();
                ob_flush();
                flush(); 

...is what flushes the output buffer immediately, every time cURL accesses YouTubeToMp3Converter::UpdateVideoDownloadProgress(). For some reason, this is not happening for you, and the <script> blocks do not output until ALL code is completely done running. I don't know why this is happening for you.

I've seen this before, and the java-based converters are nice because they appear to shift all or some of the burden of conversion from the server to the client.

I can't remember where I saw the online service that used this. And I don't know who sells something like this. Perhaps someone else knows.

Hi,

thx for answer. All what I have found is this(vidfetch . c0m) and one more site which is selling the same thing.

thx one more time.

New Version Available!

Hi all,

I wanted to let everyone know that I have written a more fully-featured version of the free application offered in this thread. The new version of the app (based on the free version) does the following:

• Converts YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Facebook, Metacafe, VK, SoundCloud, Instagram, AOL, RedTube, XVideos, Pornhub, Vevo, Google Drive, and Twitter content (15 of the most popular video/audio hosting sites in the world)
• Outputs converted files to mp3, aac, m4a, mp4, webm, f4v, and/or 3gp formats
• Enables volume adjustment prior to conversion via jQuery slider control
• Displays download AND conversion progress via corresponding progress bars
• Leverages the power of FFmpeg (FFmpeg) to create crisp, clean, quality conversions of audio/video files.
• Reduces server load by skipping FFmpeg conversion for video/audio file types (i.e., mp4 or mp3) that are already available from the video/audio hosting sites
• Further reduces server load by providing users with a conversion "cancel" button that aborts ongoing conversions and subsequently kills unnecessary FFmpeg processes
• Minimizes bandwidth required for YouTube video conversion to audio formats (like mp3, aac, and m4a) by directly downloading audio from YouTube if it is available!
• Provides options to cache converted files, drastically and even further reducing the consumption of server resources (primarily CPU and bandwidth).
• Includes a tool that crops converted audio AND video files (with live preview of converted media during cropping process!)
• Provides an editor for converted mp3/aac/m4a file meta data (ID3 tags), to control track information displayed on some audio players
• Automatically adds (album) cover art to MP3 files following post-conversion file cropping and/or editing.
• Integrates Dropbox and OneDrive "Saver" buttons that enable converted files to be saved to site users' accounts in the "cloud" -- in addition to regular file download.
• Features a completely "responsive" default design (leveraging the Bootstrap framework) to provide optimal viewing for ALL device types and sizes!
• Includes JavaScript bookmarklet/browser plugin that enables your site visitors to convert videos directly on YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, and Metacafe video pages. Bookmarklet loads conversion interface directly into video page, and forwards user to your site for actual conversion and converted file retrieval.
• Enables multi-language support via a corresponding drop down menu and XML translation files
• Dynamically changes HTML title and meta tag content to reflect information about the currently converting video/audio (i.e., the song title)
• Allows a user to share a "direct-to-conversion" URL and post it on a variety of social networking sites following download/conversion, so that the user's friends can automatically download/convert the same video/audio by simply clicking on the posted link! This feature is triggered when the user clicks to download his/her converted file, and the frequency that the share option appears is adjustable.
• Enables the easy integration of "interstitial" ads (like adf.ly) to generate additional website income! When this feature is activated and a user clicks to download his/her converted file, an interstitial ad opens in a new browser tab where the user is prompted to download the file after a brief waiting period.
• Provides the ability to easily incorporate static pages (i.e., About, FAQ, and Contact pages) as well as rudimentary "templating" support for (primarily) static pages via common header/footer files
• Initiates conversions via form submission (POST request) as well as URL query string (GET request)
• Automatically updates the code required to decipher changing, encrypted, YouTube video signatures.
• Optionally rotates between multiple outgoing IPs for YouTube downloads/conversions to avoid temporary IP bans and/or CAPTCHAs imposed by YouTube.
• Validates video/audio URLs prior to conversion
• Facilitates the addition of more video hosting sites as well as converted file types (by editing the code)
• Expanded config file for a more customizable interface (i.e., easy access to FFmpeg commands for different converted file types and the ability to configure default video/audio qualities, default volume, and maximum allowed length of video/audio content)
• Secures access to the server so that FFMPEG commands can only be run if a unique token is present
• Includes script that can be run as a scheduled task on the server, that regularly deletes old converted files
• Comes with a "config check" utility to facilitate the software's installation and help resolve any issues with the server configuration
• Features a simple, one-click installation of both FFmpeg and cURL on Linux (via the included "config check" utility)!
• Programmed entirely in easy-to-read PHP OOP (Object Oriented Programming), JavaScript/jQuery, and CSS to facilitate effortless editing/customization of code

Note: The software requirements are detailed here. The Win32 version of my software caters to both Windows AND XAMPP users.

At this time, I am not offering this latest version for free. If you're interested, please contact me by email or PM for further information, pricing details, and a demonstration.

I will continue to maintain and provide support for both the free and paid-for versions of the application via this thread. For now, both versions of the script will coexist. When either YouTube or Dailymotion makes changes to the front-end of their site, I will continue to post fixes here to keep all versions of the application operational.

Thank you for all of your interest in this application, and for visiting this thread. Your ongoing interest has really fueled the growth of this software. As always, I welcome any suggestions and/or feedback you might have.

Nice options that you have added !

Hi everyone,

It has come to my attention that my code no longer works correctly with the latest 32-bit or 64-bit static builds of ffmpeg.exe on Windows servers or in an XAMPP environment.

For the sake of backwards compatibility with previous versions of this app, and due to my own current time restraints, I have decided not to modify the code accordingly at this time, and instead offer a download link to the older build of ffmpeg.exe that does in fact work with my code.

The differences between the older and newer builds of ffmpeg.exe are insignificant in terms of my app's performance.

I have added the older ffmpeg.exe build's download link HERE. (Because the file is over 4 MB and this forum doesn't allow large file attachments, the file is being hosted at PutLocker.com instead.) Windows and XAMPP users should use this version of ffmpeg.exe to ensure continued functioning of the free version of my app.

The paid-for, Windows version of my app will continue to work as advertised because it already includes the older build of ffmpeg.exe.

Finally, this does not affect Linux users at all (because ffmpeg.exe is not required for Linux). Linux users can continue to use my app without issues.

The Linux version is preconfigured for Linux servers, and the Win32 version is preconfigured for Windows/XAMPP servers. Linux version comes with some additional instructions for server install/set-up. Windows version comes with a version of ffmpeg.exe already included.

The software comes with no default skin. The default design is minimalistic and intended to be enhanced by the purchaser via CSS, etc. I could add a default skin, but I doubt most people would use it. Can you imagine a bunch of web sites implementing my software that all looked the same? It's kind of like the default WordPress theme -- what's the point of providing a beautiful default theme/skin, if everyone will ultimately customize the theme or create a new theme for their personal sites?

There is a placeholder div at the top of every page throughout the conversion process that can be easily edited to add social networking buttons. You will need to generate the required code for each button on their respective sites, i.e.:

1) Facebook - http://developers.connect.facebook.c.../plugins/like/
2) Twitter - http://twitter.com/about/resources/buttons
3) Google +1 - http://www.google.com/intl/en/webmas...ton/index.html
4) etc., etc....

...then you will need to insert the button code into the existing placeholder div element in my app.

Hello people. I have a strange problem. I run that script on my old pc with ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32 bit) and it work. I buy a new pc with 6 cores processor (AMD FX-6200 /3.8G/X6/BOX AM3+) and 8GB DDR III 1333Mhz but work slowly than my old pc with 1 core cpu on 2.2 GHz. I try 64 and 32 bits but there are no changes. Any ideas ?

What OS is installed on the new system? You may have configured your new system incorrectly to run the script. Really, anything could be at fault here. You need to supply more specifics about what isn't working. Error messages and server error log output would be helpful.

Hello again. I install again Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and try 32 bits and 64 but again convert slowly than my older pc.
