[Feature Request] Able to Select Video Quality when Downloading

[NevGi-cpu]

I always download animes in 480p. Because of not having enough storage on my pc. I tried many other scripts like anime-dl and others available on Github. Most of them are outdated and don't work on the websites they tell it will. And even if it works I can't download the videos of my choosing quality.

Hello, thank you for your suggestion! I'll work on that after finishing the feature that I will be soon finished (removing the 1 to 99 episodes limit).

Hi! I added the feature that will let you choose the episode quality if you're interested on trying it out you can find it here https://github.com/sh1nobuu/BitAnime/tree/feature/dynamic-episode-quality (Not yet optimized. The optimize version will be out tom.) Thanks!

Yes, I'm very much looking forward to trying it. But, I just have to ask will you be maintaining this project in the future too. Since there is so many projects much like this which was good at first but after some time it was left stagnant.

Yes, I'm planning on maintaining this script since I use this script a lot too so you don't need to worry about it being outdated.

Are you sure you have git install in your pc? You can't install requirements txt if you can't clone the file. An already way to download it is download the zip version.

[NevGi-cpu]

yes i have installed git using choco.

[sh1nobuu]

yes i have installed git using choco.

Have you tried cloning other repo? because from what i can see your system can't recognized git as a command

[NevGi-cpu]

Seems like I needed to refresh the env now i cloned repo but pip still not working

[sh1nobuu]

after cloning the repo you need to cd to the BitAnime folder

[sh1nobuu]

And if you want to use the script with dynamic script you need to clone the feature/dynamic-episode-quality branch

[NevGi-cpu]

How do i do that? I tried this:

[sh1nobuu]

How do i do that? I tried this:

if you want to clone a specific branch you can follow this command:
"git clone -b feature/dynamic-episode-quality --single-branch https://github.com/sh1nobuu/BitAnime.git"
after cloning the repo cd to the folder
cd BitAnime then "pip install -r requirements.txt"

[NevGi-cpu]

Already installed requirements

[sh1nobuu]

Already installed requirements

The BitAnime folder already exist in your system try deleting it and then run the command again.

Now is everything ready? Do I just download and run bitanime.exe or can I run it through PowerShell. How to choose video quality when downloading

for the quality, you have 4 option: 1: 360p, 2: 480p, 3: 720p, 4: 1080p.

[NevGi-cpu]

Download not starting

[sh1nobuu]

Download not starting

wait for it the site is quite slow to respond therefore the downloading is slow

[NevGi-cpu]

There was a Vinland Saga folder created and 5 eps downloaded but their size was 60mb and only the first 5min part of the video was playable.

[NevGi-cpu]

It already closed the .exe after that i found above

[sh1nobuu]

It already closed the .exe after that i found above

seems like the code is broken let me check

[sh1nobuu]

I'll mention you after I'm done patching it.

[NevGi-cpu]

Ok

[NevGi-cpu]

Just so you don't misunderstand. I closed the .exe myself. And after that i found the anime folder.

[NevGi-cpu]

I tried again and yes although the progress bar isn't moving the size of episode is increasing I think it's working.

Thanks for the info man seems like the site itself is at fault, I'm having a hard time downloading an episode with a 360P quality

[NevGi-cpu]

The download is working.

I want to change the default dir where the anime is downloaded. How can I do it

[sh1nobuu]

The download is working.

You can do that by modifying the code in bitanime.py

[sh1nobuu]

"""
Create a download folder for the anime

folder = os.path.join(insert-your-path-here , title)
if not os.path.exists(folder):
os.mkdir(folder)

[NevGi-cpu]

Thanks for everything. And another thing I noticed when I downloaded 2 or 3 720p anime is that some episodes (1 or 2 eps) were in lower-quality like 360p.

Glad to help! Older anime don't have an HD version therefore the script will download what's available

[NevGi-cpu]

I mean i was able to download 720p quality from gogoanime.pe web though and the anime was for Vinland saga, Majo no tabitabi, gleipnir all dubbed versions of 2021 animes

I see thanks for the feedback I'll look into that!

[sh1nobuu]

Updated version of the script is already in the master branch. I will now close this issue.
