yeah, same, download from youtube works, file appears on filesystem but download part in ui doesn't
Same issue here. Installed on Unraid using Binhex's template from CA (binhex-official-metube) and fails both on accessing the WebUI on HTTP using my server's IP and through HTTPS behind a reverse proxy.
Alright. So this is not an issue with this app. The issue is with the unraid template implementation.
In order to fix this edit the docker app and go to "show more settings" You should see every possible env var listed. Delete "Variable: PUBLIC_HOST_URL" and "Variable: PUBLIC_HOST_AUDIO_URL". Everything worked properly after that for me.
Possible app fix in the future is to check if those variables are empty. But I don't think it's really a bug.
Fixed!

Awesome, thanks, works fine now. I had tried before to fill those variables with my URL but it didn't work, it only appended it after the slash of the original URL. Guess we should contact the creator of the Unraid template so that he can clarify or fix that.
It might actually be a workaround, interpretation of those variables is still in metube, so potentially author could've a look what's happening too.
Speaking of which, work around works for me too, thanks for the tip! :)
