Videos Downloader

The module allows the site's admin to #download #videos from various sites like #youtube.com, CNN, ESPN, etc. simply by providing a link(s) to a #video and automatically #uploads them to your UNA site as if they were uploaded manually like a regular files to the Videos module. This way you can host all videos directly on your server for any reason you need. For example you may have a watermark modification installed that is applying a watermark to all videos. Or may be you'd like to create a videos site with videos of a certain category making sure the videos are always available to your audience with no ads and be independent of any 3rd party videos hosting.

It provides an ability to choose a category, owner and visibility for videos being downloaded. It is based on a scheduled tasks which means that you can simply provide a large list of links and forget about it. As soon as it'll finish downloading the last video - it will send you a report about the completed job. The module supports a huge number of videos sources, the complete list of which can be found here.

Important Notice: This module works only with Boonex Videos module installed. And can not be used as a standalone module.

UPDATE: Since 2024 Youtube is blocking such kind of an access and requires a sign-in in order to access a video. Thus this module is no longer capable of downloading videos from Youtube (but still works for many other video hostings).
