Quick start

Install sabisu is extremely easy, but before you get started, you need to install one dependency:

Using OSX

$ brew install ffmpeg

Using Linux

You can download the package in here https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-linux

FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created. It supports the most obscure ancient formats up to the cutting edge. No matter if they were designed by some standards committee, the community or a corporation.

After having everything nice and running, you can just install the gem:

$ gem install bideo

or add it to your Gemfile

gem 'bideo'

Using the gem

The gem will help you download music or video files really easy, for example to download a video from youtube:

Downloading & transcoding videos

movie = Bideo::Video.new("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8AQQrbVTfQ")
movie.download("/Users/<yourusername>/Desktop")

That's it, but wait there is more, if you want to transcode the video to an mp3 format for example, just call the transcode method:

movie.transcode

For videos you can add a playlist from youtube and it will download all the videos from the playlist. Same goes for the transcoding.

The file will be transcoded on the same directory you downloaded the videos previously.

Downloading music

music = Bideo::Music("http://a_url_for_music")
music.download("/Users/<yourusername>/Desktop")

And that is it.
