yt-dlp is capable of downloading a title but it’s tedious to download all of them. is there an easy way? and for ard and zdf?
Not sure if it makes things easier than your current setup, but take a look at Mediathekwebview.de
Tried to open that webpage but godaddy asks me if I want to buy the domain. Typo?
You can also selfhost in a container
https://github.com/mediathekview/mediathekviewweb
https://github.com/conrad784/docker-mediathekview-webinterface
I think he has a typo, yes. The correct link:
Edit: if you have a link of the video on the arte website, you might wanna try to copy the link and put it into yt-dlp. It is capable of downloading from youtube with sponsorblock information but also capable of downloading videos from other sites. For example the ARD Mediathek or Arte.
I tried it, it’s very nice to download to your computer but not for the server and not for a whole series
For a complete series its difficult. I guess you could copy all the links of each episode, put it in a .csv file, and let GPT write a script that opens up a Terminal/CMS/Powershell that calls yt-dlp with the parameter being the link of each episode.
Naming to be S01/E01 could get difficult but you could make another row in the .csv file and let GPT edit the script, so that after the download is complete the file gets renamed to the corresponding row.
Oooor you go the easiest way and sail the high seas, go to serienjunkies.org or other sites like this one, and go with one of the one-click-hosters, pay them and be good for a year or whatever time range you would choose.
Yt-dlp can hat on its own. No need for an external script
I want to hoard it, any idea which tracker has german mediathekview content? I’m not aware of any
I dont like usenet and other hosters. I never could get it working properly
Yeah I’m also still onm the manual way and not really happy with it.
But on this topic this dudes Page has been often mentioned in threads. Maybe you can get it working for you:
https://github.com/PCJones/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language
Thx. I just meant usenet. *arr is working but there was a lot of rubbish on usenet when I tested it.
Hm, well then maybe an alternative to usenet maybe try the OCH-Variant. Many sites out there for the german dubbed content. An old but good site to get to some good warez sites fast is startseite.to But some old links still exist and might not be the best route to go, so still be cautios matey.
my dirty method with wget, fzf, pueue and yt-dlp put this in e.g. .bashrc
myytdlq () { wget -k $1 -O /tmp/myytdl.tmp; cat /tmp/myytdl.tmp | perl -pe 's/\"/\n\"\n/g; s/\\u002F/\//g;' | grep -v hoerfassung | sort -u | fzf -m --query "http video" | cat > /tmp/myytdlq; export MYYTDLQ=$(cat /tmp/myytdlq); clear; echo $MYYTDLQ; for i in $MYYTDLQ; do pueue add -- "yt-dlp --restrict-filenames --output '%(extractor_key)s-%(title).40s.%(ext)s' $i"; done }and use it with the url of the series
myytdlq https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/113212-001-A/this-is-england-86-1-4/Thx! I will check it, i saved the comment to respond with the result but so far I didn’t have time.
Have you tried jDownloader? If normal link search doesn’t work, try the deep search (or get into the websites source code and search for the media file and input that into jDownloader).
I hardly download from them, so I don’t have an automated way.
What I do is use ublock origin to look at the network calls, find the media link and then use curl to download it.
You can use
yt-dlp INSERT_LINKas well
yt-dlp can download playlists and such. Have you tried using a link to some overview page or some such? Either way, how many videos can a series on arte have? 5 or 6? How that can be called tedious is beyond me.
For any content from French TV you can use Captvty https://captvty.fr/
https://github.com/fnep/mtv_dl mtv_dl allows searching the Mediathekview database from the command line and download all videos that haven’t already been downloaded and that fit the search. I use it to download new episodes from TV shows that I’m interested in
That sounds very nice! Thank you!
