phpYoutubeDLWebUI

phpYoutubeDLWebUI, a fork of Youtube-dl-WebUI-QNAP, is a small web interface for youtube-dl. It is designed to be used on a QNAP NAS, but should work anywhere youtube-dl, FFmpeg, and PHP can run; however, I would cation against running it outside of your local network. You can download or fork from GitHub.
