youtube-to-pdf-converter

Converts Youtube videos to PDF

Why

Basically, this started because my girlfriend was complaining that she had a teacher who converted class slides into a video and they were only available on Youtube.

Since there's no actual tool to retrieve those slides (printscreens are not an option haha), with the help of some frameworks (eg.: pytube), youtube-to-pdf-converter does the following:

• Download video from URL
• Stores frames every second
• Compare pixels difference between two frames
• Joins all slides to a single pdf
• Generate some reports with comparison analysis

Requirements

• Install Python (although that's probably installed already on your system)

• Install pipenv: https://pipenv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/#installing-pipenv (you may need to add $HOME/.local/bin to $PATH and reboot for pipenv to be recognized as a system command)

• Install all Python library dependencies on the project's root directory:

$ pipenv install

Note: all project paths are defined inside settings package

How to Use

• Run the following command on your machine:

$ pipenv run python converter.py

• Open your browser go to localhost:5050

• Insert URL and wait. When finished, you'll have all files paths on API response
