CLI and Library Support: Flexible usage via command-line or Python library.
Detailed Logging: Provides real-time progress and logs errors for debugging.

Requirements

Python: Version 3.7 or higher.
Required binaries:
- N_m3u8DL-RE for downloading protected DRM content.

 from DDownloader.modules.downloader import DOWNLOADER

 downloader = DOWNLOADER()
 downloader.manifest_url = "https://example.com/path/to/manifest"  # DASH, HLS, or ISM manifest URL
 downloader.output_name = "output.mp4"  # Desired output file name
 downloader.decryption_keys = ["12345:678910"]  # Provide decryption keys if needed
 downloader.download()  # Start the downloading and decryption process

 re_encode = DOWNLOADER()
 quality = ["HD", "FHD", "UHD"]
 input_content = "downloads/example.mp4"
 output_content = "/path/to/output.mp4"
 re_encode.re_encode_content(input_file=input_content,quality=quality,codec="libx265",crf=20,preset="medium")
