Music video downloader for XBMC
Loads artist and track titles from various sources then uses http://theaudiodb.com to retrieve music video urls to pass to youtube-dl which saves them in appropriately named video files for XBMC's Music Video Scraper.
- flexible configuration of other song chart sources
- command line switches to accept artist and/or song titles on command line or standard input
- (eventually) download all songs in XBMC's music collection
- Install youtube-dl according to that project's instructions or your distro's instructions.
- Clone the repo from github
$ git clone https://github.com/waddles/mvid_dl mvid_dl
- Optionally create a virtualenv
$ virtualenv --python=python2.7 --verbose mvid_dl
$ cd mvid_dl
$ . bin/activate
- Install required python (2.7) packages
$ pip install -r requires.txt
NOTE - this project uses an alternative version of pylast than the default installed by pip as the original project has not been updated for several years. If you have the original pylast installed, you will need to uninstall it first.
Enable the desired sources in settings.ini.
If using the last.fm played tracks feature, you will also need to enter your last.fm username and generate your own API keys
Currently, it only outputs the url and file name which needs to be passed as follows:
$ ./mvid_dl.py | while read url name; do youtube-dl --recode-video mp4 --output "${name}.mp4" --continue -f best "${url}"; done
