Description

A Windows-first local web service for downloading and compressing videos you own or have permission to save.

Use Cases

Setup

  1. Prepare Windows prerequisites

    Requires Node.js 22+, Windows PowerShell 5.1, yt-dlp and FFmpeg. The original launcher checks prerequisites and uses winget to install missing tools when you explicitly run it; installation may require approval and internet access.

    .\tools\videocrunch\Start-WebVideoCrunch.cmd

  2. Start the local service

    If prerequisites are already available, use this instead of the launcher. Keep its terminal open. The service binds only to 127.0.0.1:8765.

    pnpm tool:videocrunch

  3. Enable the portal connection

    In a second PowerShell terminal, opt in and start the portal on loopback. The connection is disabled by default and never starts or installs the service itself.

    $env:TOOLS_MOORKYZ_COM_VIDEOCRUNCH_ENABLED = "1"
pnpm --filter @moorkyz-tools/portal dev --hostname 127.0.0.1

  4. Open your workspace

    Use the button below after both services are ready. Exports and history stay on this PC. Do not expose either service through a public address or reverse proxy. No DRM, login or paywall bypass is provided.

Workspace
