I have succesfully installed youtube-dl on my server and from command line everything is working like a charm.
Now I want to be able to call a link on my site from my web browser which directly initiates a download of the file. So in that order:
Open site in browser (for example http://example.com/download.php?v=as43asx3
YouTube-dl processes the input
Web-browser downloads file
Temporary files will be deleted from server
I am not very experienced with this, but nevertheless need to solve this issue.
