Currently, there are no plans to add more sites as AnimDL supports top sites that stream anime. However, this does not mean that this is it for the sites. You can raise as many issues as possible for requesting a new site.
Note: Your request may be denied in case of Cloudflare protections and powerful anti-bot scripts in the site.
Streaming will require either mpv
or vlc
. You will require these to be in your PATH
, if not, simply make a animdl_config.yml
on the working directory and add these configurations appropriately:
players:
mpv:
executable: "mpv"
opts: []
vlc:
executable: "vlc"
opts: []
iina:
executable: "iina-cli"
opts: []
ffmpeg
can be used with animdl using the config file.
use_ffmpeg: true
This config will make the downloader use ffmpeg for HLS streams.
ffmpeg is set as optional because:
- It is ridiculously slow, the internal HLS downloader has higher speeds.
- It makes this project partially heavy-weighted.
stderr
stream reading for cases such asmpd
when using tqdm did not work.
