Deprecation notice

This project is now deprecated due to the difficulty of interacting with the video provider APIs. The limited search quota is not enough to fullfil global usage of the app and because of this it lacks one of the core features of the app, the search feature. Unfortunately is not of my interest to maintain or update the project anymore. Feel free to clone, redistribute or share the project since it is not licensed in any form.

Tips

It is highly recommended to use the pm2 process manager to recover from internal failures and automatize the service providing.
