I know that, officially, ytdl supports funimation, but nothing I do works, and if I just grab the actual link to the video proper then I might as well download it over ffmpeg myself -- which, funnily enough, is what ytdl falls back on for those links.

Frankly, if I could even just get it to work on individual videos, then I am fine doing manual "playlists", I just would like to have the actual videos and not have to deal with funimation's frankly subpar streaming.

On the question front, is it possible for someone to provide an actual guide for downloading funimation videos through ytdl? Would be much obliged.
