Android app

[binarygeek119]

Would it be possible to make a android app for submitting videos

I'm using ifttt... but can you open metube webpage with your phone's web browser?

I suppose some sort of solution can be arrived at with IFTTT or a similar tool (I guess you want to click "Share" in the YouTube app and send the video to MeTube?) Leaving the issue open in case someone wants to share their config of how they're doing it. I don't think an Android app is coming though.

The Android app Termux has a feature allowing you to create a shell script to act as a share target for other apps. The shell script will receive the shared URL as the first parameter. I installed Termux and created a script at bin/termux-url-opener with the following contents:

curl -X POST https://my-metube-server.my-domain.com/add -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d "{\"url\":\"$1\",\"quality\":\"1440p\"}"

Now, I can open the YouTube app and share any video with Termux, and MeTube will download it 😀

I create a specific YouTube playlist I want either video or audio downloaded from, go to MeTube and post the Unlisted Playlist link

I'm interested on building an Android apps. I see you use Socket.IO and few HTTP requests. I can build the app by using Ionic Vue under MIT license, if it's okay with you @alexta69

@husudosu of course it's perfectly OK with me! It'll be a terrific addition. Thanks! 😌

I'd use an android app if it was available:)

I've created this app to manage Metube from Android. It supports sharing video links from other apps like Youtube. Currently it's on alpha stage, most of the error handling missing need to do optimizations etc...

• Repo
• First build available here

When you configure Metube server address be sure to add HTTP/HTTPS and include your port too!

I made a video demonstration of current state.

I guess I'm a bit late. But anyway I've also created a simple app that lets you add new downloads and share videos from YouTube/other apps with MeTube. Here you can find the code and the first release: MeTube for Android

[alexta69]

Amazing, guys! Looking great! Are you planning to publish it on the play store?

[husudosu]

I would publish on F-droid/IzzyOnDroid after Alpha stage. Being a Youtube video downloader frontend app on Google Play is not the best idea. If Google discovers it, at minimum they take down the app.
