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
For video playback mpv is needed. Get it here: https://mpv.io/installation/
If you would like to use another video player, you will need to specify its path in the config file.
Optionally, you can install ffmpeg to download m3u8 playlists instead of using the internal downloader. You can use it with the -f
flag. This is something you should use if the internal downlaoder fails since ffmpeg is comparatively slow.
Config
When you start the program for the first time the config file gets created automatically
Places of the config:
- Linux: ~/.config/anipy-cli/config.yaml
- Windows: %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/anipy-cli/config.yaml
- MacOS: ~/.config/anipy-cli/config.yaml
Attention Windows Users: If you activate the option reuse_mpv_window
, you will have to donwload and put the mpv-2.dll
in your path. To get it go look here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/
