• Keep track of an anime and automatically download new episodes when they release.
• Download a complete season or episodes within a range (e.g., 69-420).
• Choose between video qualities: 360p, 480p (Gogoanime only), 720p, or 1080p.
• Download in sub or dub (if available) depending on the user's preference.
• Automatically detects episodes you already have and avoids re-downloading them.

CLI

Senpcli is a CLI alternative for Senpwai. Senpwai is already efficient and lightweight, Senpcli basically strips off the GUI while maintaining most of the basic functionality.

Building from Source

Ensure you have Python 3.11 (3.11 specifically!!!) and Git installed.

Open a terminal and run the following commands.

1. Set everything up.

git clone https://github.com/SenZmaKi/Senpwai --depth 1 && cd Senpwai && pip install -r dev-requirements.txt && poetry install

2. Build the app into an executable.

poetry run poe build_senpwai_exe

• The executable will be built in Senpwai\build\Senpwai

3. Alternatively you can instead run the app directly via Python.

• Activate virtual environment

poetry shell

• Run the app

python -m senpwai

• Both steps at once, but it is slower since it activates the virtual environment every time

poetry run senpwai

FAQ

Why did you make this?

I couldn't afford wifi so I used my college wifi to batch download anime after class but batch downloading from streaming sites is a pain in the ass, you have to click billions of links just to download one episode, so I made Senpwai to help me and possibly others that face a similar problem.

What is HLS mode?

HLS mode attempts to fix the unstability of Gogoanime normal mode. In HLS mode Gogoanime downloads are guaranteed to work, though with a few downsides:

• Requires FFmpeg to be installed, though Senpwai can attempt to automatically install it for you.
• No download size indication but Senpwai will estimate the total download size after the first download.

Do you intend to add more sources?

One person can only do so much, I only plan on adding another source if something ever happens to Animepahe or Gogoanime. More sources means more writing more code which in turn means fixing more bugs.
