FreevineGUI - a portable Windows front end for Freevine

[billybanana]

I have released v_0.1.3 just now. I've added the ability to optionally choose Resolution and Bitrate as suggested above by @sipho.

Note: the bitrate best/worst option only functions for 1080 or 720 videos. I didn't see the point of extending that down to the lower resolution stuff (and in most cases they don't have variances anyway).

The updated version can be grabbed at Github as usual:

Thank you. The only snag is that it now dumps all the downloads in the root of the specified folder and not within their respective show folders. Small issue though.

[billybanana]

Had quite a revamp over the last few days. Initially I designed this app just to kick off the command window and let Freevine do its thing. I've now decided to bring the command prompt into the app itself. Just looks a bit neater from a UI perspective.

Note: the step3 text box is a proper Command Prompt, so you can type whatever you like in there, as well as choosing all the preset radio button options.

I do have an issue with BBC streams only - with Freevine 1.0.5 onwards - where you have chosen to save a downloads folder. All other services use the saved folder just fine. Can't figure out what's going on with the BBC. Stabby has not been able to replicate the issue in Linux, so might be something odd with Windows. I'd be interested to see if anyone else can replicate this.

v0.1.4 is at GitHub

The updates being:

1. modified UI to separate service countries
2. modiifed UI to separate Download and Search & Information functions
3. added internal Command Prompt function within the UI, in lieu of passing to external Windows Command console

Will likely keep the updates fairly minor for a while now and will just add new services as needed, if @stabbedbybrick adds any new ones to his Freevine script.

Thanks for the GUI @billybanana, much appreciated.

Note: this version only works with freevine v1.1.0 + given the command changes by stabbedbybrick.

Just want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU for doing this. Much needed by many of us who are less technically inclined

[billybanana]

My pleasure. It's always nice to make things a little easier for those of us who want it to be so.

[billybanana]

So I've been on a bit of a roll today. Have now updated to v0.1.7.

What's new:

1. added a Favorites function to enable you to store a list of followed series. Saves looking up the series URL each time you wish to download a new episode. When you highlight a row and click Copy it will take the URL and put it in the main command window ready to perform your actions. I find that pretty useful, hope you guys do to.

I've made some more updates and have release v0.1.8 that takes advantage of Stabby's new "file" command.

1. added a Queue function to allow you to add multiple tasks to a queue and kick off processing when you are ready. The functions looks for the file queue.txt in the root of your Freevine directory. If not found it will create the file the first time. The queue contents will be retained in the application - and visible in the Queue window - at all times until you press Clear to remove the contents.

This is very admirable work. Thanks for sharing.

[billybanana]

Ok so I've gone a bit silly with updates again, but that should be it for a while now unless stabby adds any more brilliant functionality to freevine

3. added set Windscribe proxy credentials
4. added Save File Name command
5. added number of Threads option
6. added additional N-m3u8Dl-RE command option

I've made a few changes since my last post here primarily as updates with the freevine code from stabbedbybrick.

1. added support for RTE
2. added support for CBS
3. added Hola proxy server for Ireland

If you're using Windows and don't like having to type all your commands every time, then this may be for you.

New version v1.1.2 is available here

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? When I try to download https://www.crackle.com/watch/4f64428e-3db5-4ba2-8b57-c0d9a98db2bd/hansel-vs.-gretel from Crackle, I get these errors.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I was able to replicate the same one time but then the next few times it passed the correct "movie" parameter to the command using the same options. Weird.

Not something I would fix now anyway given I've archived the repo with Stabby no longer maintaining Freevine.
