coub-downloader

NodeJS script that downloads coub videos for the specified channel.

Install NodeJS from https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/

Open the command line and navigate inside the directory where coubNode.js is located.

Install all required packages

$ npm install

Run the script using this syntax:

Usage: node coubNode.js channelName coubType
coubType: simples | recoubs

Example:
node coubNode.js animeCoubs77 recoubs

Never wrote anything in NodeJS before nor anything with async/await so it can be still improved.
It just downloads the videos using the https://github.com/TeeSeal/coub-dl module.
It loops the video 12 times OR uses the whole audio track depending on which is shorter.

I have no further plans to update it ;) You can fork or clone it and make changes yourself. I didn't test it with 404 errors etc.

What could be improved:

• async file read
• categorizing the downloaded coub videos
• proper error handling
• add stories handling
