Bigrats for Linux

• 中文版

The official site of Bigrats is flvcd.com, which only provides Windows version.

This project is the Linux version of Bigrats video downloader written in Golang with GUI by deploying GoQt, and uses avidemux to merge video segments. It will support MacOS very soon. This project has nothing to do with flvcd.com.

Installation

1.Install flvcd-helper extension for Firefox

Install the extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/flvcd-helper

2.Install jq and Qt5 runtime

• sudo apt-get install jq libqt5printsupport5 libqt5widgets5

3.Install avidemux for merging video segments

This procedure is different for Debian and Ubuntu.

Debian:

Add following line into /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.kaist.ac.kr/debian-multimedia/ buster main
(replace buster with your Debian codename, you can get it by lsb_release -cs)

• sudo apt-get update -oAcquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true
• sudo apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install avidemux-cli

Ubuntu:

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/avidemux
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install avidemux2.6-cli
  or
• sudo apt-get install avidemux2.7-plugins-cli avidemux2.7-cli
  

(you can also install avidemux-qt to merge video segments manually)

4.Install bigrats-go-x.x.x-amd64.deb

Download bigrats-go installer from releases.

• dpkg -i bigrats-go-x.x.x-amd64.deb
  (replace "x.x.x" with release version)
  

Now you can use it as if you were using the Windows version!
