GOYTFetcher 
GoYTFetcher is a server application written in Golang to serve Youtube videos as audio files through HTTP.
It also comes with a simple login system, so you can manage users easily.

Usage
$ ./GoYTFetcher [-p Port] [-yt Youtube API key] [-i Webpage path (where index.html is stored)]
All flags are optional. When no port is given it will use 6713.
Youtube API key is used for searching and getting video information. When no key is given then it will rely on youtube-dl. Only feature which totally depends on the Youtube API is getting popular videos.
Webpage path is the directory where your index.html is stored, in case you want to host a website on the same port.
The first user who sign ups will automatically promoted to administrator and can unlock other users. When you request a video, then the server will first return the audio link from google and start the downloading of the video at the same time. Once the download is finished and the same video is requested again, it will serve the local audio file. Both the link from google the local audio file are encoded in vorbis format. (Audio bitrate: 160kb/s)
