now we explicitly ignore any file not "original". this seems to
filter out derivative files (such as ogv and other shit we don't
want) but keeps some of the toplevel metadata]]> Paper <paper@tflc.us> Sat, 28 Feb 2026 14:38:04 -0500 *: add support for loading the split db from a zip file https://hg.paper.us.eu.org/channeldownloader/log/615e1ca0212a/channeldownloader.py
saves time having to decompress it.

also fixed a couple bugs here and there (notably with the IA downloading)]]> Paper <paper@tflc.us> Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:01:18 -0500 *: big refactor, switch to GPLv2, and add README https://hg.paper.us.eu.org/channeldownloader/log/03c8fd4069fb/channeldownloader.py
Okay: now, we use a modular approach for downloaders. Each downloader
is provided through a single function (which does the fetching).
Additionally, the internetarchive library is optional now if the user
does not want to install it.
yt-dlp is still necessary though for it's sanitize_filename function.

If and when I get to adding vanity features (such as finding the best
possible source by comparing resolution and bitrate), I'll probably
separate out all of the downloaders into different files.

I also moved this project to a separate repository from 'codedump',
keeping all of the relevant commit history :)]]> Paper <paper@tflc.us> Sat, 30 Aug 2025 17:09:56 -0400 remove proxy flag https://hg.paper.us.eu.org/channeldownloader/log/2e7a3725ad21/channeldownloader.py committer: GitHub <noreply@github.com>]]> Paper <37962225+mrpapersonic@users.noreply.github.com> Fri, 14 Apr 2023 23:53:37 -0400 Update channeldownloader.py https://hg.paper.us.eu.org/channeldownloader/log/77c93f46dd06/channeldownloader.py committer: GitHub <noreply@github.com>]]> Paper <37962225+mrpapersonic@users.noreply.github.com> Fri, 14 Apr 2023 23:52:47 -0400 channeldownloader: insane memory optimizations https://hg.paper.us.eu.org/channeldownloader/log/1ac85f6f40c4/channeldownloader.py
