#kissanime-dl

Downloads all mp4s from a kissanime mastersite! (kissanime.to/Anime/*)

#Dependencies: lxml

requests

#Installation ##*nix or OSX:

pip install kissanime_dl

##Windows:

Windows is a tricky one.

Try:

pip install kissanime_dl

If you get an error like:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)

There are more steps needed. First, go to

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml

and download the proper lxml wheel.

Then, type

pip install PATH_LXML

where PATH_LXML is the path to the lxml wheel you downloaded.

Then, try to reinstall.

FOR ALL WINDOWS INSTALLATIONS

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE

Due to a bug in pip, the script it generates is broken, and needs to be manually fixed.

Type in

pip show kissanime-dl

and go up the filesystem to the pythonXX\Scripts directory, where there should be a file named

kissanime-dl-script.py

open it in a text editor and change

#!LONG, LONG, PATH

to

#!"LONG, LONG, PATH"

This is because spaces in the path name screw everything up, and that bug in pip still hasn't been fixed.

Everything should be installed properly, and this can be verified by typing into cmd:

kissanime-dl

#Usage:

Type into shell:
kissanime-dl URL PATH_TO_DOWNLOAD OPT_ARGS

####
MAKE SURE THAT kissanime_dl RUNS IN SEPARATE DIRECTORIES FOR DIFFERENT URLS, OR ELSE UPDATE WILL BE SCREWY

First argument: the url to the kissanime.to/Anime/* page. It can also be "update" which will download any videos not downloaded into the folder.

Second argument: the path to download files to

Optional arguments:

--episode=OPT_BEG%OPT_END: Downloads specific episodes.
	If only OPT_BEG is given WITHOUT "%", only one episode will be downloaded.
	If only OPT_BEG is given WITH "%", then all files after OPT_BEG will be downloaded.
	If only OPT_END is given WITH "%", then all files before OPT_END will be downloaded.
	If OPT_BEG and OPT_END is given, then a range between the two will be downloaded. 
	"%" literal needs to be between the two. 
	OPT_BEG needs to be above OPT_END in terms of the page

--max_threads=VAL: Sets the max_threads to search for the download urls.
