does not work on windows

Open KraXen72 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

it does not work on windows, even though i added windows binaries in the same folder, downloaded the mpd manifest and fed it like this:

python ./web-dl.py -u D:/coding/python/web-dl/manifest-mpd.mpd -o test.mkv

if you want the specific manifest for testing, dm me on discord kraxen72

the error is: image

but i think it's due to the script calling linux-only commands that it doesen't work

Hello! Thanks for opening the issue, it helps a lot!

As for the problem, for what I can see on the screenshot, the program does not accept local files (yet), so the MPD manifest (xml) must be somewhere in the local/global network (e.g. Internet).

i also tried it with an url, got the same error. i won't post the mainfest here, as it's paid content, but i can provide it for testing via discord (kraxen72) it would be also good to support the following:

  • a config file
  • an option to speficy the ffmpeg path
  • an option to specify mp4decryptor path

so i don't have to add them to path on windows

Working already on a fix to replace specific commands by platform agnostic ones. Also tackling the binary paths for both ffmpeg and mp4decryptor.
