YouTube-to-MP3 conversion - PHP class and script

[slaine]

Note: When installing my software, I recommend that you 'apt-get install' to get the stable versions of each package. I advise against building each (or any) of the packages from the git source.

sure i´ll get the Ubuntu 11.10 and try, and yes i use the terminal to install using "sudo apt-get install whatever i need'" via SSH. I let u know how it work out.

Hi,

After visiting your page, please check the following:

1) Are permissions set correctly on the 'logs', 'output', 'videos', and 'ringtones' folders? (Verify that the correct server user owns these folders as well -- see chown command.)

2) Are videos being saved to the 'videos' folder? Full videos or only partial videos?

3) I never see a download progress bar, but I do see the download progress bar code in your page. If the videos are actually being saved in the 'videos' folder, then do you have a really fast download speed from Youtube? That would explain why it skips past the download progress bar to the conversion progress bar.

4) The AJAX response text that corresponds to the conversion progress bar is generating an error code. Please see this post for how to troubleshoot that.

5) Are any FFmpeg log files created in the 'logs' directory for failed conversions? If so, please paste the output of a log file for a given failed conversion.

6) Please take advantage of the search feature for this forum thread. I have answered questions like this countless times before and provided clues for how to troubleshoot similar issues.

So give those things a try, and then we'll go from there...

I've tried everything on this forum too but no result. Its not failing any where its just not displaying download link. Videos are converting.

Go to mp3roach.com/dl convert any video then go to mp3roach.com/dl/videos or /output you will find videos are converting and downloading on server but it doesn't display link so that user can download. Thanks

You are using a very old version of FFmpeg. Update your version of FFmpeg to the latest "stable" version. Do not get the "newest" version by compiling FFmpeg from git source. Use the default package install commands (will vary depending on your version of Linux) to get the most recent "stable" version.

You also seem like you might be missing at least the libx264 codec (which enables conversion to video formats). Ensure that you have all the necessary codecs for FFmpeg.

Do these things, and then we'll go from there...

Hey, looks like youtube changed up there code again.

So can no longer convert youtube videos into mp3.

Please do let me know about this asap.

Thanks!

I can confirm this. I will work on a fix and publish it here as soon as possible. Thanks for the heads up...

[bbrog]

No problem Thanks let us know asap

Are you using the free version of the software? The paid-for version? Linux or Windows?

My tests indicate that this is only an issue for the free version. The paid-for version of the software is still functioning perfectly!

For the free version, in YouTubeToMp3Converter.class.php, please change the following code accordingly:

        function ExtractSongTrackName($vidSrc, $srcType)
        {
            $name = '';
            $vidSrcTypes = $this->GetVidSrcTypes();
            if (in_array($srcType, $vidSrcTypes))
            {
                $vidSrc = ($srcType == $vidSrcTypes[1]) ? file_get_contents($vidSrc) : $vidSrc;
                if ($vidSrc !== false)
                {
                    if (preg_match('/(<title>)(.+?)( - YouTube)(<\/title>)/', $vidSrc, $matches) == 1)
                    {
                        $name = trim($matches[2]);
                        $name = iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", $name);
                        $name = (!empty($name)) ? html_entity_decode($name) : 'unknown_'.time();
                    }
                }
            }
            return $name;
        } 

Do let me know if that solves your problem...

[bbrog]

Hi, thanks this solved the problem. And yes I was using the free version.

Also you had created me custom backend stuff will changing this effect the backend operations in any way?

Let me know thanks!

[chump2877]

I doubt it, but let me know if it does...

[chump2877]

The new (updated and hopefully stable) distribution of files is located at the bottom of this post.

PLEASE SEE THIS POST FOR IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING THE USE AND INSTALLATION OF THIS SCRIPT.

DO NOT USE THE ZIP DISTRIBUTION LOCATED AT THE ABOVE LINKED PAGE. USE ONLY THE ZIP FILE ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.

New in this release:

1) Per recent changes to YouTube's site front end, I fixed the script's ability to determine a given video's title.

The paid-for version of the app is not affected by YouTube's recent changes. The full version of the software will continue to function as before -- perfectly!!

As always, please let me know if you have any questions/concerns regarding the above and/or the code.

[bbrog]

Hi, getting errors again when downloading videos. Think youtube changed its code again

[chump2877]

Hi, I can confirm this. Neither the free nor paid version appears to be working. I will work on a fix and post it here as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.
