I had to do this manually as I'm using Centos 6.x libmp3lame ---------- [](#libmp3lame) First i had to install `libmp3lame` - ffmpeg uses this. ``` mkdir ffmpeg_sources && cd ffmpeg_sources wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.99/lame-3.99.5.tar.gz tar xzvf lame-3.99.5.tar.gz cd lame-3.99.5 ./configure make make install lame ``` ffmpeg ------ [](#ffmpeg) Then ffmpeg; I work with Centos 6.x so the most updated ffmpeg is not available in `yum` ``` wget https://www.ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-3.3.2.tar.gz tar xfz ffmpeg-3.3.2.tar.gz cd ffmpeg-3.3.2 ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --disable-yasm make make install ``` Aftwards ffmpeg was installed in `/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg` which then I needed to specify in `convert.php` Example output ============== [](#example-output) Download/convert ---------------- [](#downloadconvert) `http://michaelbelgium.me/ytconverter/convert.php?youtubelink=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUJKs1m7Y8M` ``` { "error": false, "title": "Devin Wild & Sub Zero Project - Meltdown (Official Videoclip)", "duration": 210, "file": "http://michaelbelgium.me/ytconverter/download/gUJKs1m7Y8M.mp3" } ``` Search ------ [](#search) `http://michaelbelgium.me/ytconverter/search.php?q=belgium&max_results=5` ``` { "error": false, "message": null, "results": [ { "channel": "FOOTBALL MINDS", "full_link": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=1Q6o3B5n_j4", "id": "1Q6o3B5n_j4", "title": "Belgium vs Japan 1-0 - Highlights & Goals - 14 November 2017" }, { "channel": "Football Highlights & Goals", "full_link": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=v8DzbrQxXS8", "id": "v8DzbrQxXS8", "title": "BELGIUM vs MEXICO 3-3 ● All Goals & Highlights HD ● 10 Nov 2017 - FRIENDLY" }, { "channel": "deielsio", "full_link": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=W3peC29XwOI", "id": "W3peC29XwOI", "title": "Lil Peep - Belgium [Unreleased]" }, { "channel": "Geography Now", "full_link": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=0TuMvWCbM-g", "id": "0TuMvWCbM-g", "title": "Geography Now!
