mangadlmao 1.5.3

A cli script to download and package manga into CBZ for Komga

mangadlmao

A cli script to download and package manga into CBZ for Komga.

What sets it apart from other scripts like this is that it creates a ComicInfo.xml for Komga and it will also download any updated chapters to get the latest versions with fixes.

File modified times are used to track which chapters have already been downloaded.

Note: The API for Semantic Versioning purposes is considered the configuration file and cli options. Every python module contained in this package is internal and subject to breaking changes at any time.

Installation

Install using pip:

python -m pip install mangadlmao

Optionally you can install the xor-cipher package to speed up decryption:

python -m pip install xor-cipher

Usage

This script is primarily meant to be used with a configuration file.

However, there are some command line arguments that can be used:

$ mangadlmao --help
Usage: mangadlmao [OPTIONS] [URL]...

  Download Manga from the configuration file or URL arguments.

Options:
  -v, --verbose       More verbose messages
  -c, --config PATH   Print or set configuration file path.
  -j, --jobs INTEGER  Number of parallel chapter page downloads.  [default: 4]

                      than the most recent will be downloaded. If set to
                      'null' (default), all chapters will be downloaded.

Configuration

You can get the location of the configuration file by running mangadlmao -c or specify a custom path with mangadlmao --config=/custom/location/config.yml

The configuration file format is YAML:

---
download_directory: "."

# default "since", can be null, a date, or auto (default: auto)
# - null: download everything
# - auto: download only chapters newer than the most recently created local chapter
# - a date: eg.: 2022-02-22, only chapters updated after the date will be downloaded
since: auto

# default languages to download, can be overridden per manga
lang:
  - en

# global exclude for groups and users, can be name or id
exclude:
  - TerribleMachineTranslator
  - 33171bc6-0c2a-40d7-9cca-120ac52f09ae

manga:
  # entries with url can be either MangaDex, WeebCentral, or MangaPlus
  - url: https://mangadex.org/title/15931821-1a3a-4aee-b27c-1c95d8d5dcf1/hololive-yohane-s-twitter-shorts
    title: Hololive Shorts by Yohane
    # override default "since" setting:
    since: 2020-12-24
    # only download chapters starting from chapter number 69
    from: 69
    # override default languages (only works for MangaDex):
    lang: [en, de]
    # additional group and user excludes (only works for MangaDex):
    exclude:
      - AnotherTerribleMachineTranslator

  # entries with id are treated as MangaDex entries
  - title: Nice Manga Title
    id: aed22b2e-b544-4204-9702-cdf5cfc167de

The title key is optional but because it is used as directory name, if the name changes server-side, all chapters will be re-downloaded into a new directory.
