Python script to download mp4/m3u8/wvm files from toggle.sg.
This new and updated program:
- supports selection of the file quality to download
- supports 'episode' or 'series' URLs
- supports selection of episodes from a series
- implements a more correct 'auto-download' function that is fully non-interactive post-command
- supports multi-threaded downloads
- has some modifications made in preparation for Python 3 (but is not fully supported on that version yet)
On Linux and Mac OS X, first make the script executable:
chmod +x download_toggle_video2.py
Then run the script with as many Toggle URLs as you want:
./download_toggle_video2.py http://video.toggle.sg/blah http://video.toggle.sg/blerk ...
Or, you can include 'episode' URLs as such:
./download_toggle_video2.py http://video.toggle.sg/blah http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/blerk/episodes ...
On Windows, if you installed Python from the official binaries, you should already have the necessary file associations, so the following command line should work from the script directory:
download_toggle_video2.py http://video.toggle.sg/blah http://video.toggle.sg/blerk ...
Debug mode can be enabled with the -d parameter like so:
./download_toggle_video2.py -d http://video.toggle.sg/blah
Tested with:
- Python v2.7.6 on Windows 7 x64
- Python v2.7.11 on Windows 7 x64
- Python v2.7.11 on Windows 10 10586.104 x64
- Python v2.7.12 on Xubuntu 16.04 x64
The following configuration options are directly editable in the script file:
Default: 0 (do not auto-download)
Set to 1 to enable auto-download of media files. The order of file formats in FILE_PREFERENCES can also be changed if you prefer ADD-mp4 to be of a higher priority than STB-m3u8.
Default: 1 (enable)
Pretty self-explanatory.
Default: 2
Specifies the number of download threads. More threads = quicker download completion.
Default: Highest to lowest priority: STB-ADD-IPAD-IPH
Specifies the download file format preference, in order.
ffmpeg.exe must be located in the same folder as the python script. Script has been tested against ffmpeg.exe in https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-20150418-git-edbb9b5-win64-static.7z. Recent builds in Windows x64 can be found in https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/
On Ubuntu 12.04, the version of libav-tools in the repo is not updated for m3u8; hence, you'll need to build ffmpeg from source from git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
Ubuntu 15.04 has a sufficiently recent libav-tools in the stock repository.
Install ffmpeg from Homebrew.
Note: there are many hardcoded values used, which could cause the script to break if Toggle changes their page structure
