That's the only potential way I can think of to increase the speed of conversion. And I don't know exactly how that could be accomplished because I haven't tried anything like that (yet).

If you figure this out, please share with the rest of us

Well, you'll notice that the FLV video download is performed by PHP cURL extension. So, while I don't have an exact answer for you, the first thing I would do is search these keywords in Google.

This might help a little. If zlib decompression is faster than cURL download speeds, you might try downloading a compressed version of the video and then decompressing the file on the server. I don't know if it would improve speed significantly (or even if it will work), but it's worth a try.

Also, you could check out the cURL flags in general to see if there are any there that could improve performance in this case.

cURL is just an HTTP client, so the speed is mostly limited by the connection on the machine that is running it. Also note that zlib compression has to be supported by the server(YouTube) in order to take advantage of the compression using cURL.

How can I use this with ffmpeg installed on server instead on windows.

I haven't tried it. I imagine its pretty similar to the way I've set it up in XAMPP.

Have you tried to set it up on a server? Are you experiencing any specific problems?

If you figure this out, and you notice glaring differences in implementation, then please share with the rest of us.

What code should I use to make sure that the script works?

The first post okay?

Not sure what your question is. The app is working for me.

Please make sure you followed the instructions carefully and applied the applicable patches.

What specific problems are you experiencing?

Thanks for the reply, now works.

I followed this post and it works:

There is only an error:
when you

includes 'YouTubeToMp3Converter.new.class.php';

you have to do:

includes 'YouTubeToMp3Converter.class.php';

because the files you have listed above are:
- YouTubeToMp3Converter.class.php
- Index.php

Now I try to improve it, after the place in the forum!

I will fix that. I meant for the file to actually be named YouTubeToMp3Converter.new.class.php because that class differs from the one that precedes it in this thread. Also, the class you are using only grabs 3GP files, which are lower quality videos, and the resulting MP3 conversion is unreliable and the sound quality is poorer.

I would love to see if you can improve the 2nd version of the code (that manipulates 3GP) -- because it uses the YouTube API, but I would not presently rely on it for optimal results.

But in that post, the script does not always work?

[chump2877]

Correct. The functioning version, that produces the best quality, is here: http://www.codingforums.com/showpost...7&postcount=18

If I download the zip, after what should I do?

The converter works properly at localhost, if I put it on a server not, why?
