Mediathek Downloader is a small python applicatopn for automatically downloading videos from german public service broadcasting.
The application is based on youtube-dl.
Use the provided docker image.
I strongly recommend using docker-compose for running this. You'll find an example docker-compose.yml on docker hub.
The timer class in run.py shedules download times. It triggers the downloader class. This will then read all job files in /jobs and execute them.
Provider are the heart of this application. Based on the tag and the tagvalue the provider (a module in /modules) will select all urls that will be passed to youtube-dl. So make sure to use tags and tag values that are supported by the choosen provider.
You can easily expand the application with other providers. Just check the example_provider.py in /modules and copy it. The application will automatically try to load the module based on the provider name given in the job.
