Peertube-dl

A little Perl program which downloads videos from some webpages.

Wants to be something similar to youtube-dl with support for some sites not acceptables under youtube-dl policies.

Of course the name means Peertube will be supported someday.

Supported webpages:

animeflv.net

animeflv.cc

kjanime.net

youtube.com (Video only in webpage, all formats on cli.)

Installation

Localized install with cpanminus.

sudo apt install cpanminus ducktape-dev
cpanm . --installdeps
cpanm .

System install.

This requires you must seek for the dependencies yourself. (The contents from cpanfile + duktape-dev + ExtUtils::MakeMaker and then run:

perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install

Windows

You should use Cywgin, Strawberry perl or WSL to be able to use this software in Windows and then follow one of the two procedures given before to GNU/Linux.

I am not giving you a detailed instructions in that case given that I am not responsible of your bad software choices in operative systems.

MAC

Maybe you can use homebrew to get the prerequisites and then install this program using the install with cpanminus.

Again not detailed instructions since it is not my problem the defective by desing OS and hardware you choose.

It is doable anyway if you want to give a try.

Usage

peertube-dl <Supported url>

You can assume the supported urls are the ones which have a media player.

Webpage

You can deploy a webpage using:

peertube-dl-web daemon

For testing or:

peertube-dl-hypnotoad

In production.

The environment variable support for PIDFILE makes easy to write an init script.
