YouTube-DL (google it for installation)

$ cd PornHub-downloader-master/
$ chmod +x install.sh

How do I know the model/pornstar name or if its a model or a pornstar

Pritty simple, lets take a look at this url:

https://www.pornhub.com/model/themagicmuffin

url: https://www.pornhub.com/
category: model
model name: themagicmuffin

https://www.pornhub.com/pornstar/leolulu

url: https://www.pornhub.com/
category: pornstar
pornstar name: leolulu

Usage

Basic command line syntax:

$ phdler [start | refresh | custom | add | remove | clean | update | config | -h for help | -v for version]

Examples:

Start download

$ phdler start

Download a custom URL from PornHub

$ phdler custom https://url

Adding a new PornHub model to the database

$ phdler add model-name-from-url

Downloading new added models/pornstars

$ phdler refresh

Warning

The default script "phdler start" uses the .txt files as a database and every time it runs, it will only download the latest 4 videos. So you dont spam PornHub and keep it calm :) This is the reason why you have options like "REFRESH" to download and add the new models/pornstars to the database.

Best Practice

phdler is designed to run as a cronjob. Just type this: $ crontab -e and then on the end of the file add this: * */12 * * * phdler start >/dev/null 2>&1 This will make the script run every 12 hours.

Permission problems or script not running with crontab

In case you are having permission problems, in crontab -e, just before the command add this line, and ofcourse, change your-user-name to your actuall user name. PATH=/home/your-user-name/bin:/home/your-user-name/.local/bin:/home/your-user-name/.npm-packages/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/$/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
