Use yt-dlp to download your videos from Funimation!
As Funimation drama unravels, here's a reminder for you that yt-dlp is able to download Funimation videos. Use that opportunity to preserve your collections before they're gone! (and keep them forever and ever)
Yeah for doing batch stuff. I’d like to be able to say copy and paste 15 different playlists, deselect some of the videos in them, and be able to walk away from my computer.
If you’re copy pasting playlists using plain text files (one url per line) you can download every url in a single file by running yt-dlp -a <filename>. If you have multiple files, it’s straightforward to write a shell script that calls it for each of them.
I'm with you. Used to use front ends, but when everything is configured nicely, the CLI becomes way more simple and powerful. Just for the ability alone to batch your downloads, the CLI is a total winner in my book :)
For the record, I can recommend using the following programs in combination with it:
Sublime Text - For editing your commands
Xtreme download manager - For extracting the urls
The network tab in your browser - For getting the m3u8
