Implementation

VidSrc provides an API to access links to specific movies hosted on their website. When you select a movie to be viewed, this program will cache the site data from VidSrc into an html file stored on disk. The program then does some proprocessing to the html webpage to remove annoying ad/redirect elements.

If you would like to view the raw website without preprocessing, you can disable this feature using the --raw flag. Additionally, you can use the --new flag to re-cache an already cached website.
