misato 0.9.8

MissAV video downloader

misato

MissAV video downloader with multi-threading, resume support, and Cloudflare bypass.

Installation

pip install misato

Prerequisites

1. Chrome — set the MISATO_CHROME_EXE environment variable (defaults to C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe):

set MISATO_CHROME_EXE="C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

2. Chrome Profile (optional) — misato uses a dedicated Chrome profile at C:\workspace\chrome_auto_userdata by default. You can customize it via MISATO_CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR:

   Important: Do NOT point this at your everyday Chrome profile (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data). Chrome locks the profile directory while running, so misato cannot launch a second instance with the same profile. Always use a separate, dedicated directory.

   set MISATO_CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR="D:\misato_profile"
   

3. FFmpeg (optional, recommended) — for merging video segments and embedding cover thumbnails. https://ffmpeg.org/
