thuis

thuis is a command-line utility for downloading video or audio content from .mpd (Media Presentation Description), .m3u8, .m3u or URLs pointing to these types of files. It offers flexibility by allowing users to specify custom settings for their downloads.

Features

Download Video or Audio: Easily fetch content using .mpd, .m3u8, .m3u or URL links.
Customizable Downloads: Specify lists, preferred resolutions, and output filenames.
Detailed Logging: Configure log levels to get the right amount of information.
Interactive Mode: Optionally run in an interactive mode for dynamic configuration.

Usage

Execute ./thuis.ps1 from the terminal using the syntax below to start downloading media:

# Download with a custom list of .mpd, .m3u8, .m3u files, or URLs
pwsh ./thuis.ps1 -list <media_files_or_urls> # a list of files or URLs separated by a comma

# Comprehensive options for advanced usage
pwsh ./thuis.ps1 -list <media_files_or_urls> -resolutions <preferred_resolution> -filename <output_filename> -directory <directory> -info <info_argument> -log_level <log_level> -interactive

Prerequisites

Windows

No prerequisites required. Running ./thuis.ps1 in PowerShell (or pwsh ./thuis.ps1 in cmd/bash) will check and prompt for the installation of any missing dependencies.

Linux

Ensure PowerShell is installed:

# Install PowerShell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y wget apt-transport-https software-properties-common

wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/$(. /etc/os-release; echo $VERSION_ID)/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y powershell
pwsh -Version

Mac

Install Homebrew, PowerShell, and FFmpeg:

# Install Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh>)"

# Install PowerShell
brew update
brew install --cask powershell pwsh -Version

# Install FFmpeg
brew update
brew install ffmpeg

TODO:

Enhance interactive (-interactive) mode to be truly dynamic, prompting the user to update or add missing settings as needed.
Test processing .m3u to .mp4.
Make use of the existing settings to specify the requested resolution for .m3u8 and .m3u
