Installation

Recommended installation:

python3 -m pip install anipy-cli --upgrade

Directly from the repo (may be newer):

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/sdaqo/anipy-cli

Other methodes can be found in docs/install.md

For Videoplayback mpv is needed get it here: https://mpv.io/installation/

Optionally you can install ffmpeg to download m3u8 playlists instead of the internal downloader. Use it with the -f flag. This is something you only want to enable when the internal downlaoder fails, since its pretty slow.

Config

Copy config.py to config_personal.py and make your changes there.

Your changes will persist upgrades.

Also, don't delete the original config.py, it will detect if config_personal.py is present.
