As Funimation drama unravels, here’s a reminder for you that yt-dlp is able to download Funimation videos. Use that opportunity to preserve your collections before they’re gone! (and keep them forever and ever)

Credits to humble jbk@discuss.tchncs.de who brought that up!

        Yeah for doing batch stuff. I’d like to be able to say copy and paste 15 different playlists, deselect some of the videos in them, and be able to walk away from my computer.

            That is not easier or quicker than shift selecting 70 videos in a list in a list and ctrl clicking the 6 I don’t want.

            There’s a reason GUIs won out over CLIs for most use cases.

              (I shouldn’t take the bait…) ah, and what do you think that is?

                Because they are simpler and easier.

                Take for example a photo of folders, you can easily parse through a grid of photos to find the picture you’re looking.

                CLI are great for some things, and they’re not great for others.

                    What did you expect me to say GUIs are better at the thing CLI at better at?

                    The whole point is the graphical side of it, so of course I’m going to choose something visual.

                    It’s not bait just because I don’t answer a question in a way that lets you act like a smug Linux nerd.

          If you’re copy pasting playlists using plain text files (one url per line) you can download every url in a single file by running yt-dlp -a <filename>. If you have multiple files, it’s straightforward to write a shell script that calls it for each of them.
