MergeCrunch

Description

MergeCrunch is a small bash script (/ironic off) that combines youtube-dl and mkvmerge for getting anime.

The main feature is to generate a pretty mkv file with all availables soft-subtitles from Crunchyroll site and after required fonts are attached from fontconfig.

Now support to premium users!!

Now support to playlist URLs and playlist selection!!

Now support to cookies file!!

Now support to spoof your location!!

==Tested in Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial and Debian 9 Stretch==

Dependencies

You must have installed youtube-dl, fontconfig and mkvmerge, as minimum.

Rhash is recommended for calculating CRC32 hash sum.

For getting this dependencies, execute the classic sudo apt-get install.

Note 1. For youtube-dl, I would recommend to use nilarimogard's ppa.

Note 2. For mkvtoolnix, I would recommend to use custom Bunkus' repository.

sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
sudo apt-get install fontconfig
sudo apt-get install mkvtoolnix
sudo apt-get install rhash

For solving fonts text dependencies, create a folder in your home dir called ~/.fonts and put here any font text missing. When you run this script, mkvmerge needs fonts text installed previous in your system for adding it as attachment.

Usage

For this section, I will ilustrate how to use it with examples:

Basic example (argument -i):

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE

Episode will be downloaded with max resolution in the current directory

CRC32 example (argument -x):

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x

Same top, but now CRC32 will be calculated and stored in the filename.

Format example (argument -f):

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p

Same top, but now resolution will be 1280x720. Be careful with this argument, some resolution are availabled for premium users only.

Format	Description
worst	The worst resolution available (generally 360p or 480p)
360p	480x360 or 640x360
480p	640x360 or 848x480
720p	1280x720
1080p	1920x1080
best	The best resolution available (generally 480p or 1080p)

Preferred language (argument -s):

Using a preferred language, you set a default subtitle track in your mkv. Also, title description and default output filename are set according to this language.

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES

Same top, but now I set spanish subtitle track as preferred.

Language	Description
enUS	Forces American English
esES	Forces European Spanish
esLA	Forces American Spanish
frFR	Forces Français
itIT	Forces Italiano
ptBR	Forces Português
deDE	Forces Deutsch
arME	Forces العربية
ruRU	Forces Русский
jaJP	Forces 日本語

Spoof location (argument -g):

Similar to choose your preferred language, you can spoof your location in order to download videos from foreign locations. The following example shows a spoof location to Russia and preferred language to American Spanish.

Also, default output filename will be in russian.

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esLA -g ruRU

Output file name (argument -o):

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv'

Same top, but now output file will renamed as "Sket Dance 01 [CRC32_HERE].mkv"

Premium account (argument -u and -p OR argument -c):

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv' -u BeardOverflow

Same top, but I am logging in my premium account. The console will prompt for username's password.

However, you may specific your password by command line.

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv' -u BeardOverflow -p mysecretpassword

Sometimes, the login access could fail using argument -u (because youtube-dl is outdated). In this case, you could use a cookie file. In order to get your cookie file, I would recommend to use an extension navigator such as cookies.txt from Chrome Store.

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_CRUNCH_HERE -x -f 720p -s esES -o 'Sket Dance 01.mkv' -c cookies.txt

Playlist selection (append # character in input URL):

For playlist selection, you must append the # character in input URL. After, according to selection syntaxis:

"N-M" for select range from N to M.
"N" for simple selection.
"," as separator for multiple selections.

Example #1. Select IDs items from 12 to 20.

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_PLAYLIST_CRUNCH_HERE#12-20

Example #2. Select ID item 5.

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_PLAYLIST_CRUNCH_HERE#5

Example #3. Select IDs items from 12 to 20 and also 2, 5, 23 to 30.

./mergecrunch.sh -i URL_PLAYLIST_CRUNCH_HERE#12-20,2,5,23-30
