Download excerpts with Compose¶

This guide shows you how to download a highlighted live stream excerpt when Rewyt and ypb are run via Compose.

Prerequisites¶

Podman or Docker
Rewyt installed as a web app, running via Compose

Highlight the excerpt¶

Note

For highlighting excerpts in Rewyt, see Highlight and download excerpts.

Highlight the excerpt and copy its timestamp, for example:

2026-06-20T10:00:00+00:00/2026-06-20T10:30:00+00:00

Download the excerpt¶

Run ypb inside the already-running Rewyt container:

# --workdir must stay /media, it's where the container's volume is mounted
podman compose exec --workdir /media rewyt ypb download \
  2026-06-20T10:00:00+03:00/2026-06-20T20:00:00+03:00 abcdefgh123

The file is saved to ./media by default, or the path set via YPB_MEDIA_DIR.
