Dependencies Installation

This script can run on multiple Operating Systems. But, the script depends on some external binaries or libs. We need FFmpeg, mkvmerge and Node.js in our paths. There are some old streams on Crunchyroll which only support rtmpe streams, as noted from Issue #9. For this, you need rtmpdump.

You also need mkvmerge.exe in your PATH or Working Directory.

These dependencies are required on ALL the operating systems, ALL!.

1.) Make sure you have Python installed and is present in your system's path.

2.) Grab FFmpeg from this link, Node.js from this link and RTMPDump.

3.) Install FFmpeg and Node.js and place it in the directory of this script, or put them in your system's path.

4.) Browse to the directory of this script and open command prompt/shell in that directory and run this command :

python pip install -r requirements.txt

Installation

After installing and setting up all the dependencies in your Operating System, you're good to go and use this script. The instructions for all the OS would remain same. Download THIS REPOSITORY and put it somewhere in your system. Move over the anime_dl folder.

Windows users, it's better to not place it places where it requires administrator privileges. Good example of places to avoid would be C:\Windows etc.. This goes for both, the Python script and the windows binary file (.exe).

Debian 7/8/9 users, run this command to automatically install anime-dl into your CWD:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xonshiz/anime-dl/master/auto.sh | sudo bash

Linux/Debian users make sure that this script is executable.Just run this command, if you run into problem(s) :

chmod +x anime-dl.py

chmod +x __main__.py

and then, execute with this :

./__main__.py

Python Support

This script supports only Pythom 3 currently..

Windows Binary

It is recommended that windows users use this binary to save both, your head and time from installing all the dependencies.

You need to download FFmpeg and Node.js and keep them in the same directory as that of this windows binary file.

If you already have these dependencies, then you can download this binary and start using the script right off the bat :

List of Arguments

-h, --help                             Prints the basic help menu of the script and exits.

Usage

With this script, you have to pass arguments in order to be able to download anything. Passing arguments in a script is pretty easy. Since the script is pretty basic, it doesn't have too many arguments. Go check the ARGUMENTS SECTION to know more about which arguments the script offers.

Follow the instructions according to your OS :

Windows

After you've saved this script in a directory/folder, you need to open command prompt and browse to that directory and then execute the script. Let's do it step by step :

  • Open the folder where you've downloaded the files of this repository.
  • Hold down the SHIFT key and while holding down the SHIFT key, RIGHT CLICK and select Open Command Prompt Here from the options that show up. PowerShell users see below
  • Now, in the command prompt, type this :

If you're using the windows binary :

anime-dl.exe -i "<URL TO THE ANIME>" -u "YourUsername" -p "Password" -r "Resolution"

If you're using the Python Script :

__main__.py -i "<URL TO THE ANIME>" -u "YourUsername" -p "Password" -r "Resolution"

URL can be any URL of the supported websites.

PowerShell Note :

  • With Windows 10, the default option when shift-right clicking is to open PowerShell instead of a command window. When using PowerShell instead of the command prompt, you must make sure that the dependencies directory is in the path or it will not be found.
  • It is possible to enable Open Command Window Here in Windows 10.

Linux/Debian

After you've saved this script in a directory/folder, you need to open command prompt and browse to that directory and then execute the script. Let's do it step by step :

  • Open a terminal, Ctrl + Alt + T is the shortcut to do so (if you didn't know).
  • Now, change the current working directory of the terminal to the one where you've downloaded this repository.
  • Now, in the Terminal, type this :

__main__.py -i "<URL TO THE ANIME>" -u "YourUsername" -p "Password" -r "Resolution"

URL can be any URL of the supported websites.

Example URLs

Note :

  • If you want to include some fonts in the muxed video, you need to make a folder named "Fonts" in the same directory as that of this script and put all the fonts inside that directory. The script should take them all.

Features

This is a very basic and small sript, so at the moment it only have a few features.

  • Downloads a Single episode along with all the available subtitles for that episode.
  • Downloads and puts them all in a directory named "Output".
  • Skip if the file has already been downloaded.
  • Downloads all the episodes for a show available on Crunchyroll.

PLEASE RUN THIS SCRIPT IN A COMMAND LINE (as mentioned in the Usage section) AND DON'T SAY THAT THE SCRIPT CLOSED TOO QUICK, I COULDN'T SEE. If something doesn't work like it's supposed to, run the command with the --verbose argument. It'll create a Error Log.txt file in the same directory. Upload the content of that file on Github Gists/Pastebin etc. and share that link.

Please make sure that you remove your loggin credentials from the Error Log.txt file before you post its contents anywhere.

If you're here to report an issue, please follow the basic syntax to post a request :

Subject : Error That You Get.

Verbose Log Link : Link to the Gist/Pastebin that holds the content of Error Log.txt.

Long Explanation : Describe in details what you saw, what should've happened and what actually happened.

This should be enough, but it'll be great if you can add more ;)
