MeTube

Spring Boot and React app for downloading and streaming YouTube videos.

Overview

MeTube is a full-stack YouTube video downloader and streamer built with Spring Boot, React, Tailwind CSS, yt-dlp, and ffmpeg. It focuses on reliable media extraction, direct streaming, and practical handling of real toolchain constraints.

This repo is a strong example of integrating external system tools into a web product. The backend coordinates download and processing commands, streams the result back to the client, and cleans temporary resources after the request completes.
