Description

Scrappo downloads any video from a given URL or a file containing a list of URLs. These URLs must be the actual video.

It's possible to also distinguish between a series or movies. The difference between these two options is that a series expects to have at least 1 season, therefore each season will be separate into its own folder containing each related episode.

Important

URLs .txt file

The file containing a list of URLs must obey to certain requirements.

nameOfVideo1:::https://someurl.withavideo.org//video1
nameOfVideo2:::https://someurl.withavideo.org//video2
https://someurl.withavideo.org//video3
https://someurl.withavideo.org//video4
nameOfVideo5:::https://someurl.withavideo.org//video5

https://someurl.withavideo.org//video6
nameOfVideo7:::https://someurl.withavideo.org//video7

• It could be added the name the file should have by inserting ':::' between the name and the URL.
• If a URL does not have ':::', its assumed the name of the file will be 'movie#' or 'episode#' (# being the number according to the position (line) the URL has in the file), depending on if the type is 'movies' or 'series', respectively.
• If type is 'series', the seasons should be separated by blank lines. This means, for instance in the example above, the season 1 has 5 episodes and the season 2 has 2 episodes. These episodes will be separated by folders with the name of corresponding season.
• If type is 'movies', any blank lines will be ignored.

The following command will download all given URLs with the type 'movies'. These videos will be downloaded in the 'C:\Users<username>\Desktop\movies' folder:

scrappo --type movies --output "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\movies" --urls "nameOfVideo1:::https://someurl.withavideo.org//video1" "nameOfVideo2:::https://someurl.withavideo.org//video2"

The same naming option is also available when not using a file. The command above will download 2 videos from two different sources which the names of those video files will be 'nameOfVideo1' and 'nameOfVideo2', respectively.

The command below will do the same thing but separating each movie into its own folder. The folder name will be the same name as the video file name.

scrappo --type movies --output "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\movies" --urls "nameOfVideo1:::https://someurl.withavideo.org//video1" "nameOfVideo2:::https://someurl.withavideo.org//video2" --separate

The following command will download all URLs contained in the 'C:\Users<username>\Desktop\moviesToDownload.txt' file. Can also be used the '--separate' argument.

scrappo --type movies --output "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\movies" --urls "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\moviesToDownload.txt"

The command below will download all URLs contained in the 'C:\Users<username>\Desktop\seriesToDownload.txt'. Inside 'C:\Users<username>\Desktop\series' folder there will be at least a folder named 'season1' containing all related episodes. Keep in mind that the file needs to contain a blank line to indicate separation of seasons.

scrappo --type series --output "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\series" --urls "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\seriesToDownload.txt"

If '--shutdown' argument is used, when all videos are downloaded, the device will be shut down.

scrappo --type series --output "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\series" --urls "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\seriesToDownload.txt" --shutdown
