In this section, I will illustrate how to use the application with examples:
Basic example (argument -i):
Input URL using argument -i. Episode will be downloaded with max resolution in the current directory.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HEREPlaylist selection (append # character in input URL):
For playlist selection, you must append the # character in input URL. After, use selection syntax:
- "N-M" for selecting inclusive range from N to M.
- "N" for simple selection.
- "," as separator for multiple selections.
Example #1. Select IDs items from 12 to 20.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_PLAYLIST_CRUNCH_HERE#12-20Example #2. Select ID item 5.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_PLAYLIST_CRUNCH_HERE#5Example #3. Select IDs items from 12 to 20 and also 2, 5, 23 to 30.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_PLAYLIST_CRUNCH_HERE#12-20,2,5,23-30Output file name (argument -o):
In this example, output file will renamed as "Sket Dance 01 [CRC32_HERE].mkv"
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv'CRC32 example (argument -x):
In this example, CRC32 will be calculated and stored in the filename.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -xFormat example (argument -f):
In this example, resolution will be 1280x720. Be careful with this argument, some resolution are availabled for premium users only.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| worst | The worst resolution available (generally 240p, 360p or 480p) |
| 240p | 320x240 or 420x240 |
| 360p | 480x360 or 640x360 |
| 480p | 640x360 or 848x480 |
| 720p | 1280x720 |
| 1080p | 1920x1080 |
| best | The best resolution available (generally 480p, 720p or 1080p) |
Preferred language (argument -s) + Only one language (argument --one):
Using a preferred language, you set a default subtitle track in your mkv. In this example, set spanish subtitle track as preferred. If you append the --one argument, then esES subtitle track will merged exclusively.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p --one -s esES| Language | Description |
|---|---|
| enUS | Forces American English |
| esES | Forces European Spanish |
| esLA | Forces American Spanish |
| frFR | Forces Français |
| itIT | Forces Italiano |
| ptBR | Forces Brazilian Português |
| ptPT | Forces European Português |
| deDE | Forces Deutsch |
| arME | Forces العربية |
| ruRU | Forces Русский |
| jaJP | Forces 日本語 |
Hardsubbing switch (argument --hard):
If you wish download a hardsub video instead of merging a soft subtitle track, you can append the --hard argument. Require -s argument and implies --one argument.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p --hard -s esESAccount access (argument --cookies and --ua):
You must get your cookies file (to export your Crunchyroll authentication) and know which is your user agent (bypassing Cloudflare).
In order to get your cookie file (argument --cookies or -c), I would recommend to use an extension navigator such as cookies.txt from Chrome Store or cookies.txt from Firefox Add-Ons.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv' -c cookies.txtIn order to get your user agent, ask to google for getting it using the same browser where you downloaded the cookie file
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv' -c cookies.txt --ua 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0'
==Manual install is not recommended way. Only for Debian an derivates. Just for testing purposes==
Install youtube-dl, python3, fontconfig, mkvmerge and rhash
For getting this dependencies, execute the classic sudo apt-get install.
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl python3 fontconfig mkvtoolnix rhashNote 1. Latest version of youtube-dl on all-in-on binary
Note 2. Latest version of mkvmerge on custom Bunkus' repository
Fontconfig is the engine to search for fonts in your system. If the applicationg warns you about missing fonts, create a folder in your home path called ~/.fonts and put in here the missing fonts
Premium account (argument -u and -p):
In this example, I am logging in my premium account. Deprecated by Crunchyroll’s new verifications. The console will prompt for username's password.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv' -u BeardOverflowHowever, you may specific your password by command line.
./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv' -u BeardOverflow -p mysecretpasswordSpoof location (argument -g):
Similar to choose your preferred language, you can spoof your location in order to download videos from foreign locations. The following example shows a spoof location to Russia and preferred language to American Spanish. Deprecated by Crunchyroll's new verifications.
