ruv-dl is a simple Python command-line tool to download media content from RÚV.
🔹 FFmpeg wrapper to download TV and radio programs from ruv.is given a provided URL
🔹 Optionally include metadata that is used by RÚV, such as images, text description and subtitle files
🔹 Choose between resolutions offered by RÚV and file formats supported by FFmpeg
Clone the repository to install ruv-dl:
$ git clone https://github.com/thrkll/ruv-dl
Install dependencies:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Python 3.6+
FFmpeg in path
Find the link to whatever it is you want to waste your time on and paste the URL after the input argument -i.
$ python ruv-dl.py -i https://ruv.is/sjonvarp/spila/sample/30726/950qj1
By default, ruv-dl will download the mediafile at the best resolution offered by RÚV - 3600kbps at 1920x1080 (25fps). To download at a worse resolution, use the -r argument. 1 is best, 3 is worst.
$ python ruv-dl.py -i https://ruv.is/sjonvarp/spila/sample/30726/950qj1 -r 2
If you are fancy 🎩 - make sure to include the -f argument. This will bundle the media file in a fancy folder together with all images and text description provided by RÚV.
$ python ruv-dl.py -i https://ruv.is/sjonvarp/spila/sample/30726/950qj1 -f
Most video content on ruv.is comes with Icelandic 🇮🇸 subtitles. ruv-dl will attempt to download these files and convert them to .srt files. To include them in the download, use the -s argument.
$ python ruv-dl.py -i https://ruv.is/sjonvarp/spila/sample/30726/950qj1 -f -s
By default, all files will download as .mp4. But for the true snob, ruv-dl can use any file format supported by FFmpeg. Use the -t argument to specify the format.
$ python ruv-dl.py -i https://ruv.is/sjonvarp/spila/sample/30726/950qj1 -t mkv
In the optimal setup, FFMpeg will be available in the $PATH. Alternatively you can specify the location of the FFmpeg installation folder using the -l argument.
$ python ruv-dl.py -i https://ruv.is/sjonvarp/spila/sample/30726/950qj1 -l C:/ffmpeg/
Note that depending on your FFmpeg build, you might need to link to ../ffmpeg/bin.
When you eventually forget everything you've read here, you can use the --help argument.
