A quickly hacked together tool which uses yt_dlp to make downloading multiple Twitch clips at once easier.
I originally made this script in an hour or two back on July 16th, 2022. I'm a bit of a data hoarder and so this script helps me archive twitch clips that I've made. I've been meaning to clean it up for some time now and I'm hoping to learn how to use git in the process.
Installing the program is as simple as cloning the directory.
After cloning, you can run the program using the provided Run.bat file if you're on Windows or by using the provided Run.sh script if you're on Linux.
For some linux users, it may be necessary to run chmod +x Run.sh first in order for Run.sh script to be executable.
This script uses yt_dlp to download these twitch clips. Install it using pip and the script should work fine.
The script uses an incredibly simple CLI. Just follow the instructions on screen and you should be good.
-
It'll first ask you to enter the URL to a twitch clip. Do so and then press enter.
-
If you make a mistake, just paste in all the rest of your clips as normal; you'll get the chance to fix your mistake later.
-
Once all your links have been entered, press 'x' to continue.
-
If you hit 'e', you'll be able to edit or remove certain links. Otherwise, hit anything to continue and the script should go ahead and download everything.
This code was hacked together many months ago at this point. I only needed it to do one thing and it does it pretty well. There are more than likely things that I'm either doing wrong or that could be done more easily in other ways. Feel free to submit pull requests and/or feedback. That being said, because of how hacked together this thing is, I'm not really going to be providing support for this. If you run into bugs or issues, feel free to submit them as well, but just don't expect too much. I don't really know what I'm doing myself.
- Might make the script read links from a file to make downloading clips in bulk easier.
- Might make the script read links in the form of command line arguments to make downloading one or two clips a bit simpler.
