If anyone should be to thank, it's @Winter-Knight ! So just wait 2 more days and the bandwidth will reset. Happy viewing!
No longer supported doesn't mean it's going to magically stop working one day, or magically disappear one day. Seriously man. And if heaven forbid it did uninstall on its own (impossible) you can always put it back with homebrew. It's not like the wad file disappears from the Internet.
If you hadn't been living under a rock for the last two months, you'd have noticed that it "magically stopped working" at the end of June, two days before the loss of support was announced to be.

RELEASE
WiiMC+YT (end-user edition!)
This is basically just WiiiMC with the addition of YouTube support (thanks @Winter-Knight !)
It's still in early beta and stuff, but at least now it exists!
It's made as simple as possible, just download, move to SD Card, and run!
.zip File Linked Below - Enjoy!

Dont forget that in the forums of WiiMC there is a release called WiiMC+ with a ton of modifications that make the application way better:

My bad. It still needs https support to work, though.
Just tried WiiMC-YouTube, and it works! Thanks! I could search and play videos fine. I might publicly host the Python server on my VPS with a domain (no CloudFlare tho). afaik It has a lot of bandwidth.
That would be a great help to the community if you did. Thanks (:
So I've been trying to host the WiiMC YouTube server on my Windows Server 2012 R2 VPS using IIS, and everything is going well (http://www.youtube-wii.ml:2092) and searching for videos works, but not video playback.

I'm having the same issue. I'm completely without experience setting up a local server like this, but I really want to watch YouTube without hogging someone else's bandwidth. I've gotten as far as to get search results to appear on WiiMC, but I can't seem to get video downloading/playback working at ALL.
We need some sort of tutorial for Windows or something.

UPDATE: I managed to get past the whole /dev/null problem (I used "nul" instead of "/dev/null"). But I get a new error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\youtube-wii\cgi-bin\youtube.py", line 26, in <module>
print("Content-Length: " + str(os.path.getsize(outfile)) + "\n")
File "C:\Python27\lib\genericpath.py", line 57, in getsize
return os.stat(filename).st_size
WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '/var/www/media/i2QxmFuPxgY.mp4'
I feel like the server is trying to send the video file before the video finishes downloading.
