Not sure if it makes things easier than your current setup, but take a look at Mediathekwebview.de

I tried it, it's very nice to download to your computer but not for the server and not for a whole series

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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:

Thx. I just meant usenet. *arr is working but there was a lot of rubbish on usenet when I tested it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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.

Tried to open that webpage but godaddy asks me if I want to buy the domain. Typo?

I think he has a typo, yes. The correct link:

mediathekviewweb.de

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.

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).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You can use yt-dlp INSERT_LINK as well

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Close, but it's a little bit more

Playlists don't work

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Don’t know if it works for this but have you tried jdownloader 2? That’s what I use for most things. It can scrape pages and maintains a download queue

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

For any content from French TV you can use Captvty https://captvty.fr/

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That sounds very nice! Thank you!
