<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use YoutubeDl\Options;
use YoutubeDl\YoutubeDl;

$yt = new YoutubeDl();

$collection = $yt->download(
    Options::create()
        ->downloadPath('/path/to/downloads')
        ->url('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDAw7vW7H0c')
);

foreach ($collection->getVideos() as $video) {
    if ($video->getError() !== null) {
        echo "Error downloading video: {$video->getError()}.";
    } else {
        echo $video->getTitle(); // Will return Phonebloks
        // $video->getFile(); // \SplFileInfo instance of downloaded file
    }
}

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use YoutubeDl\Options;
use YoutubeDl\YoutubeDl;

$yt = new YoutubeDl();
$collection = $yt->download(
    Options::create()
        ->downloadPath('/path/to/downloads')
        ->extractAudio(true)
        ->audioFormat('mp3')
        ->audioQuality('0') // best
        ->output('%(title)s.%(ext)s')
        ->url('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDAw7vW7H0c')
);

foreach ($collection->getVideos() as $video) {
    if ($video->getError() !== null) {
        echo "Error downloading video: {$video->getError()}.";
    } else {
        $video->getFile(); // audio file
    }
}

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use YoutubeDl\YoutubeDl;

$yt = new YoutubeDl();
$yt->onProgress(static function (?string $progressTarget, string $percentage, string $size, string $speed, string $eta, ?string $totalTime): void {
    echo "Download file: $progressTarget; Percentage: $percentage; Size: $size";
    if ($speed) {
        echo "; Speed: $speed";
    }
    if ($eta) {
        echo "; ETA: $eta";

class ProcessBuilder implements ProcessBuilderInterface
{
    public function build(?string $binPath, ?string $pythonPath, array $arguments = []): Process
    {
        $process = new Process([$binPath, $pythonPath, ...$arguments]);
        // Set custom timeout or customize other things..
        $process->setTimeout(60);

        return $process;
    }
}

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use App\YoutubeDl\ProcessBuilder;
