Hello everyone. I have been interested in coding my own youtube to mp3 script but don't know where to begin. Can anyone please point me into the right direction as do what I will need to do to make such a script. Please and thanks. I am looking to make the script as light weight on the server as possible. Thanks Regards, Farhan Ahmad
Getting the .flv file from youtube is the first step. A quick google search shows a lot of tutorials for doing this. Next, you'll want to save the FLV file on your server and run it through FFMPEG. Make sure you get a VPS or shared hosting that supports this. Again, there's lots of information on the web. This is the part that's taxing on your server.
I think FFMPEG won't run on normal shared hostings, better to buy virtual host if you think it seriously. Much better solution.
Thanks for your help guys. Im with hostgator so i don't know if the shared hosting the offer will alow me to do something like this.
