#Devlog:6 of #Ship:2
I have made these files, but now my logic has hit a limitation because YouTube doesn’t allow frame extraction. To solve this, we are using a public API which helps a lot with YouTube search. I use yt-dlp to resolve the YouTube URL, specifically using an Invidious public API. I know it might get shut down sometimes by YouTube, but what can we do? I will use my own yt-dlp backend to get a CORS-friendly video stream. By doing this, we can access the YouTube video as a .mp4 file, which allows us to extract frames. Let’s see if it works perfectly or not. However, my own backend will work for only 7 days because it is an open-source project.
