A NodeJS server application that manages all the same assets of YouTube without relying on YouTube's servers.
This is in alpha and should not be used yet. I’ll update the readme as it progresses. When this message is no longer here that is when it will be ready for use.

One click pull down all your YouTube data to your own local server for offline use.
YouTube gives you basic ability to make play lists but now with the offline server you can group users, subscriptions, videos.
From the point of install you are already given our global block list to keep you from harm from people we have already deemed. not acceptable. You can extend this list with more users, and content. This can then be sent back to our main server to let us update our global block list on a per block basis.
Have you ever had a video in a play list just to find it has been removed later on. With offline server you will have the option to pull down a copy of the video to your local server for replicability even if the original copy has been removed from YouTube.
When you select media to be copied locally the server has the ability to convert that from its flv format to other formats that can be better used by the system. (ogg, mp4, mp3).
music on YouTube is resource intensive as they send you a video. You can select a video as a song and it can download then convert the content to an mp3 stripping it of the video data. It will then update the mp3 with data (album, artist, ...) so that it can be tracked by the system for later search for music. Music can then be grouped into play lists.
