- Audio track's Codec Enum now has [FLAC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC) defined.
- The Downloader to use can now be set in the config under the [downloader key](CONFIG.md#downloader-str).
- New Multi-Threaded Downloader, `requests`, that makes HTTP(S) calls using [Python-requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io).
- New Multi-Threaded Downloader, `curl_impersonate`, that makes HTTP(S) calls using [Curl-Impersonate](https://github.com/yifeikong/curl-impersonate) via [Curl_CFFI](https://github.com/yifeikong/curl_cffi).
- HLS manifests specifying a Byte range value without starting offsets are now supported.
- HLS segments that use `EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY` are now supported.
- DASH manifests with SegmentBase or only BaseURL are now supported.
- Subtitle tracks from DASH manifests now automatically marked as SDH if `urn:tva:metadata:cs:AudioPurposeCS:2007 = 2`.
- The `--audio-only/--subs-only/--chapters-only` flags can now be used simultaneously. For example, `--subs-only`
with `--chapters-only` will get just Subtitles and Chapters.
- Added `--video-only` flag, which can also still be simultaneously used with the only "only" flags. Using all four
of these flags will have the same effect as not using any of them.
- Added `--no-proxy` flag, disabling all uses of proxies, even if `--proxy` is set.
- Added `--sub-format` option, which sets the wanted output subtitle format, defaulting to SubRip (SRT).
- Added `Subtitle.reverse_rtl()` method to use SubtitleEdit's `/ReverseRtlStartEnd` functionality.
- Added `Subtitle.convert()` method to convert the loaded Subtitle to another format. Note that you cannot convert to
fTTML or fVTT, but you can convert from them. SubtitleEdit will be used in precedence over pycaption if available.
Converting to SubStationAlphav4 requires SubtitleEdit, but you may want to manually alter the Canvas resolution after
the download.
- Added support for SubRip (SRT) format subtitles in `Subtitle.parse()` via pycaption.
- Added `API` Vault Client aiming for a RESTful like API.
- Added `Chapters` Class to hold the new reworked `Chapter` objects, automatically handling stuff like order of the
Chapters, Chapter numbers, loading from a chapter file or string, and saving to a chapter file or string.
- Added new `chapter_fallback_name` config option allowing you to set a Chapter Name Template used when muxing Chapters
into an MKV Container with MKVMerge. Do note, it defaults to no Chapter Fallback Name at all, but MKVMerge will force
`Chapter {i:02}` at least for me on Windows with the program language set to English. You may want to instead use
`Chapter {j:02}` which will do `Chapter 01, Intro, Chapter 02` instead of `Chapter 01, Intro, Chapter 03` (an Intro
is not a Chapter of story, but it is the 2nd Chapter marker, so It's up to you how you want to interpret it).
- Added new `Track.OnSegmentDownloaded` Event, called any time one of the Track's segments were downloaded.
- Added new `Subtitle.OnConverted` Event, called any time that Subtitle is converted.
- Implemented `__add__` method to `Tracks` class, allowing you to add to the first Tracks object. For example, making
it handy to merge HLS video tracks with DASH tracks, `tracks = dash_tracks + hls_tracks.videos`, or for iterating:
`for track in dash.videos + hls.videos: ...`.
- Added new utility `get_free_port()` to get a free local port to use, though it may be taken by the time it's used.
### Changed
- Moved from my forked release of pymp4 (`rlaphoenix-pymp4`) back to the original `pymp4` release as it is
now up-to-date with some of my needed fixes.
- The DASH manifest is now stored in the Track `url` property to be reused by `DASH.download_track()`.
- Encrypted DASH streams are now downloaded in full and then decrypted, instead of downloading and decrypting
each individual segment. Unlike HLS, DASH cannot dynamically switch out the DRM/Protection information.
This brings both CPU and Disk IOPS improvements, as well as fixing rare weird decryption anomalies like broken
or odd timestamps, decryption failures, or broken a/v continuity.
- When a track is being decrypted, it now displays "Decrypting" and afterward "Decrypted" in place of the download
speed.
- When a track finishes downloaded, it now displays "Downloaded" in place of the download speed.
- When licensing is needed and fails, the track will display "FAILED" in place of the download speed. The track
download will cancel and all other track downloads will be skipped/cancelled; downloading will end.
- The fancy smart quotes (`“` and `”`) are now stripped from filenames.
- All available services are now listed if you provide an invalid service tag/alias.
- If a WVD file fails to load and looks to be in the older unsupported v1 format, then instructions on migrating to
v2 will be displayed.
- If Shaka-Packager prints an error (i.e., `:ERROR:` log message) it will now raise a `subprocess.CalledProcessError`
exception, even if the process return code is 0.
- The Video classes' Primaries, Transfer, and Matrix classes had changes to their enum names to better represent their
values and uses. See the changed names in the [commit](https://github.com/devine-dl/devine/commit/c159672181ee3bd07b06612f256fa8590d61795c).
- SubRip (SRT) Subtitles no longer have the `MULTI-LANGUAGE SRT` header forcefully removed. The root cause of the error
was identified and fixed in this release.
- Since `Range.Transfer.SDR_BT_601_625 = 5` has been removed, `Range.from_cicp()` now internally remaps CICP transfer
values of `5` to `6` (which is now `Range.Transfer.BT_601 = 6`).
- Referer and User-Agent Header values passed to the aria2(c) downloader is now set via the dedicated `--referer` and
`--user-agent` options respectively, instead of `--header`.
- The aria2(c) `-j`, `-x`, and `-s` option values can now be set by the config under the `aria2c` key in the options'
full names.
- The aria2(c) `-x`, and `-s` option values now use aria2(c)'s own default values for them instead of `16`. The `j`
option value defaults to ThreadPoolExecutor's algorithm of `min(32,(cpu_count+4))`.
- The download progress bar now states `LICENSING` on the speed text when licensing DRM, and `LICENSED` once finished.
- The download progress bar now states `CANCELLING`/`CANCELLED` on the speed text when cancelling downloads. This is to
make it more clear that it didn't just stop, but stopped as it was cancelled.
- The download cancel/skip events were moved to `constants.py` so it can be used across the codebase easier without
argument drilling. `DL_POOL_STOP` was renamed to `DOWNLOAD_CANCELLED` and `DL_POOL_SKIP` to `DOWNLOAD_LICENCE_ONLY`.
- The Cookie header is now calculated for each URL passed to the aria2(c) downloader based on the URL. Instead of
passing every single cookie, which could have two cookies with the same name aimed for different host names, we now
pass only cookies intended for the URL.
- The aria2(c) process no longer prints output to the terminal directly. Devine now only prints contents of the
captured log messages to the terminal. This allows filtering out of errors and warnings that isn't a problem.
- DASH and HLS no longer download segments silencing errors on all but the last retry as the downloader rework makes
this unnecessary. The errors will only be printed on the final retry regardless.
-`Track.repackage()` now saves as `{name}_repack.{ext}` instead of `{name}.repack.{ext}`.
-`Video.change_color_range()` now saves as `{name}_{limited|full}_range.{ext}` instead of `{name}.range{0|1}.{ext}`.
-`Widevine.decrypt()` now saves as `{name}_decrypted.{ext}` instead of `{name}.decrypted.{ext}`.
- Files starting with the save path's name and using the save path's extension, but not the save path, are no longer
deleted on download finish/stop/failure.
- The output container format is now explicitly specified as `MP4` when calling `shaka-packager`.
- The default downloader is now `requests` instead of `aria2c` to reduce required external dependencies.
- Reworked the `Chapter` class to only hold a timestamp and name value with an ID automatically generated as a CRC32 of
the Chapter representation.
- The `--group` option has been renamed to `--tag`.
- The config file is now read from three more locations in the following order:
1) The Devine Namespace Folder (e.g., `%appdata%/Python/Python311/site-packages/devine/devine.yaml`).
2) The Parent Folder to the Devine Namespace Folder (e.g., `%appdata%/Python/Python311/site-packages/devine.yaml`).
3) The AppDirs User Config Folder (e.g., `%localappdata%/devine/devine.yaml`).
Location 2 allows having a config at the root of a portable folder.
- An empty config file is no longer created when no config file is found.
- You can now set a default cookie file for a Service, [see README](README.md#cookies--credentials).
- You can now set a default credential for a Service, [see config](CONFIG.md#credentials-dictstr-strlistdict).
- Services are now auth-less by default and the error for not having at least a cookie or credential is removed.
Cookies/Credentials will only be loaded if a default one for the service is available, or if you use `-p/--profile`
and the profile exists.
- Subtitles when converting to SubRip (SRT) via SubtitleEdit will now use the `/ConvertColorsToDialog` option.
- HLS segments are now merged by discontinuity instead of all at once. The merged discontinuities are then finally
merged to one file using `ffmpeg`. Doing the final merge by byte concatenation did not work for some playlists.
- The Track is no longer passed through Event Callables. If you are able to set a function on an Even Callable, then
you should have access to the track reference to call it directly if needed.
- The Track.OnDecrypted event callable is now passed the DRM and Segment objects used to Decrypt. The segment object is
only passed from HLS downloads.
- The Track.OnDownloaded event callable is now called BEFORE decryption, right after downloading, not after decryption.
- All generated Track ID values across the codebase has moved from md5 to crc32 values as code processors complain
about its use surrounding security, and it's length is too large for our use case anyway.
- HLS segments are now downloaded multi-threaded first and then processed in sequence thereafter.
- HLS segments are no longer decrypted one-by-one, requiring a lot of shaka-packager processes to run and close.
They now merged and decrypt in groups based on their EXT-X-KEY, before being merged per discontinuity.
- The DASH and HLS downloaders now pass multiple URLs to the downloader instead of one-by-one, heavily increasing speed
and reliability as connections are kept alive and re-used.
- Downloaders now yield back progress information in the same convention used by `rich`'s `Progress.update()` method.
DASH and HLS now pass the yielded information to their progress callable instead of passing the progress callable to
the downloader.
- The aria2(c) downloader now uses the aria2(c) JSON-RPC interface to query for download progress updates instead of
parsing the stdout data in an extremely hacky way.
- The aria2(c) downloader now re-routes non-HTTP proxies via `pproxy` by a subprocess instead of the now-removed
`start_pproxy` utility. This way has proven to be easier, more reliable, and prevents pproxy from messing with rich's
terminal output in strange ways.
- All downloader function's have an altered signature but ultimately similar. `uri` to `urls`, `out` (path) was removed,
we now calculate the save path by passing an `output_dir` and `filename`. The `silent`, `segmented`, and `progress`
parameters were completely removed.
- All downloader `urls` can now be a string or a dictionary containing extra URL-specific options to use like
URL-specific headers. It can also be a list of the two types of URLs to downloading multi-threaded.
- All downloader `filenames` can be a static string, or a filename string template with a few variables to use. The
template system used is f-string, e.g., `"file_{i:03}{ext}"` (ext starts with `.` if there's an extension).
- DASH now updates the progress bar when merging segments.
- The `Widevine.decrypt()` method now also searches for shaka-packager as just `packager` as it is the default build
name. (#74)
### Removed
- The `devine auth` command and sub-commands due to lack of support, risk of data, and general quirks with it.
- Removed `profiles` config, you must now specify which profile you wish to use each time with `-p/--profile`. If you
use a specific profile a lot more than others, you should make it the default.
- The `saldl` downloader has been removed as their binary distribution is whack and development has seemed to stall.
It was only used as an alternative to what was at the time the only downloader, aria2(c), as it did not support any
form of Byte Range, but `saldl` did, which was crucial for resuming extremely large downloads or complex playlists.
However, now we have the requests downloader which does support the Range header.
- The `Track.needs_proxy` property was removed for a few design architectural reasons.
1) Design-wise it isn't valid to have --proxy (or via config/otherwise) set a proxy, then unpredictably have it
bypassed or disabled. If I specify `--proxy 127.0.0.1:8080`, I would expect it to use that proxy for all
communication indefinitely, not switch in and out depending on the track or service.
2) With reason 1, it's also a security problem. The only reason I implemented it in the first place was so I could
download faster on my home connection. This means I would authenticate and call APIs under a proxy, then suddenly
download manifests and segments e.t.c under my home connection. A competent service could see that as an indicator
of bad play and flag you.
3) Maintaining this setup across the codebase is extremely annoying, especially because of how proxies are setup/used
by Requests in the Session. There's no way to tell a request session to temporarily disable the proxy and turn it
back on later, without having to get the proxy from the session (in an annoying way) store it, then remove it,
make the calls, then assuming your still in the same function you can add it back. If you're not in the same
function, well, time for some spaghetti code.
- The `Range.Transfer.SDR_BT_601_625 = 5` key and value has been removed as I cannot find any official source to verify
it as the correct use. However, usually a `transfer` value of `5` would be PAL SD material so it better matches `6`,
which is (now named) `Range.Transfer.BT_601 = 6`. If you have something specifying transfer=5, just remap it to 6.
- The warning log `There's no ... Audio Tracks, likely part of an invariant playlist, continuing...` message has been
removed. So long as your playlist is expecting no audio tracks, or the audio is part of the video transport, then
this wouldn't be a problem whatsoever. Therefore, having it log this annoying warning all the time is pointless.
- The `--min-split-size` argument to the aria2(c) downloader as it was only used to disable splitting on
segmented downloads, but the newer downloader system wouldn't really need or want this to be done. If aria2 has
decided based on its other settings to have split a segment file, then it likely would benefit from doing so.
- The `--remote-time` argument from the aria2(c) downloader as it may need to do a GET and a HEAD request to
get the remote time information, slowing the download down. We don't need this information anyway as it will likely
be repacked with `ffmpeg` or multiplexed with `mkvmerge`, discarding/losing that information.
- DASH and HLS's 5-attempt retry loop as the downloaders will retry for us.
- The `start_pproxy` utility has been removed as all uses of it now call `pproxy` via subprocess instead.
- The `LANGUAGE_MUX_MAP` constant and it's usage has been removed as it is no longer necessary as of MKVToolNix v54.
### Fixed
- Uses of `__ALL__` with Class objects have been correct to `__all__` with string objects, following PEP8.
- Fixed value of URL passed to `Track.get_key_id()` as it was a tuple rather than the URL string.
- The `--skip-dl` flag now works again after breaking in v[1.3.0].
- Move WVD file to correct location on new installations in the `wvd add` command.
- Cookie data is now passed to downloaders and use URLs based on the URI it will be used for, just like a browser.
- Failure to get FPS in DASH when SegmentBase isn't used.
- An error message is now returned if a WVD file fails to load instead of raising an exception.
- Track language information within M3U playlists are now validated with langcodes before use. Some manifests use the
property for arbitrary data that their apps/players use for their own purposes.
- Attempt to fix non-UTF-8 and mixed-encoding Subtitle downloads by automatically converting to UTF-8. (#43)
Decoding is attempted in the following order: UTF-8, CP-1252, then finally chardet detection. If it's neither UTF-8
nor CP-1252 and chardet could not detect the encoding, then it is left as-is. Conversion is done per-segment if the
Subtitle is segmented, unless it's the fVTT or fTTML formats which are binary.
- Chapter Character Encoding is now explicitly set to UTF-8 when muxing to an MKV container as Windows seems to default
to latin1 or something, breaking Chapter names with any sort of special character within.
- Subtitle passed through SubtitleEdit now explicitly use UTF-8 character encoding as it usually defaulted to UTF-8
with Byte Order Marks (aka UTF-8-SIG/UTF-8-BOM).
- Subtitles passed through SubtitleEdit now use the same output format as the subtitle being processed instead of SRT.
- Fixed rare infinite loop when the Server hosting the init/header data/segment file responds with a `Content-Length`
header with a value of `0` or smaller.
- Removed empty caption lists/languages when parsing Subtitles with `Subtitle.parse()`. This stopped conversions to SRT
containing the `MULTI-LANGUAGE SRT` header when there was multiple caption lists, even though only one of them
actually contained captions.
- Text-based Subtitle formats now try to automatically convert to UTF-8 when run through `Subtitle.parse()`.
- Text-based Subtitle formats now have `‎` and `‏` HTML entities unescaped post-download as some rendering
libraries seems to not decode them for us. SubtitleEdit also has problems with `/ReverseRtlStartEnd` unless it's
already decoded.
- Fixed two concatenation errors surrounding DASH's BaseURL, sourceURL, and media values that start with or use `../`.
- Fixed the number values in the `Newly added to x/y Vaults` log, which now states `Cached n Key(s) to x/y Vaults`.
- File write handler now flushes after appending a new segment to the final save path or checkpoint file, reducing
