yt-dlp is capable of downloading a title but it’s tedious to download all of them. is there an easy way? and for ard and zdf?
Not sure if it makes things easier than your current setup, but take a look at Mediathekwebview.de
I tried it, it’s very nice to download to your computer but not for the server and not for a whole series
Have you tried jDownloader? If normal link search doesn’t work, try the deep search (or get into the websites source code and search for the media file and input that into jDownloader).
I hardly download from them, so I don’t have an automated way.
What I do is use ublock origin to look at the network calls, find the media link and then use curl to download it.
You can use
yt-dlp INSERT_LINK
as well
Don’t know if it works for this but have you tried jdownloader 2? That’s what I use for most things. It can scrape pages and maintains a download queue
For any content from French TV you can use Captvty https://captvty.fr/
yt-dlp can download playlists and such. Have you tried using a link to some overview page or some such? Either way, how many videos can a series on arte have? 5 or 6? How that can be called tedious is beyond me.
https://github.com/fnep/mtv_dl mtv_dl allows searching the Mediathekview database from the command line and download all videos that haven’t already been downloaded and that fit the search. I use it to download new episodes from TV shows that I’m interested in
That sounds very nice! Thank you!
