usage: telluride[.exe|_macos|_linux] [-h] [--server] [--port PORT] [--audio-only] [--meta-only]
[page_url]
positional arguments:
page_url The URL of the page that hosts the video you need to
backup locally
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--server, -s Launches Telluride as a web server to perform URL
queries and return meta data as JSON. There's only one
endpoint at the root path. Possible parameters are
url=<video_page_url> and shutdown=1 to shutdown the
server. The server will only answer to requests from
localhost
when the request comes from localhost
--port PORT, -p PORT HTTP port when running on server mode. Default port
number is 47999. This parameter is only taken into
account if --server or -s passed
--audio-only, -a Downloads the video and keeps only a separate audio
file usually a .mp3. (requires ffmpeg installed in the
system)
--meta-only, -m Prints a JSON dictionary with all the metadata
available on the video file found in the page_url.
Does not download the video file
$ ./configure.sh # tries to install all dependencies
$ ./build.sh # runs pylint on the code, pauses, performs binary packagingYou should end up with a stand-alone executable for the platform you are on:
- telluride.exe (Windows)
- telluride_macos (macOS)
- telluride_linux (Linux)
Aside from bash,python3 and ffmpeg, the rest should be installed by the configure.sh script.
bashpython3,pip,pylintffmpeg(for audio-only downloads. audio is extracted from the downloaded video)youtube_dl,pycryptodome,pyinstaller
If you want your app to make repeated requests to telluride it's very expensive starting and destroying a new telluride process every time. By passing the --server option and optionally a tcp --port number you can run telluride in the background and send requests to the web server from localhost.
The default port number is 47999, as defined on server.py
Telluride will receive your HTTP requests at the root path and it will expect only two possible request parameters:
url=<url encoded video page url>- It will search for the available metadata and return it in JSON, the same as when you execute telluride in--meta-onlymodeshutdown=1- Pass this paremeter if you want to shutdown the telluride web server
This web server is designed only to receive requests from localhost. If you want to do something like a P2P network of telluride webservers to resolve a lot of these requests, you need to implement all the peer to peer coordination, throttling, caching, anti-DDOS logic in a service or app that launches this server. This is a simple web interface to the local telluride process, a simple lego piece you can use as best you can.
