WebVD

A stream video downloader that crawls the web

Installation

Usage

webvd -c configfile -t tags [-d targetDir] [-p filePrefix] [--unsafe]

The config file should be ccrawler crawl file that returns the url of the video resource.

The tags parameter is an identifier to be used in the crawling process, and it can be a number or a range, in which case the crawler will run once for each item in the tags list:

#this will run the crawler five times, iterating through the tag 
webvd -c mycrawl -t 1-5

If there are any https links with unverified certificates, you can disable the check by passing the --unsafe flag.

Using a shared crawler

Crawler files can be shared by saving them in the dontpad service. If you have a crawler saved, say, in the http://dontpad.com/my-crawler url, simply run webvd -c @my-crawler -t 1 to download it with tag 1.
