Vadapav

https://vadapav.mov hosts free content.

This downloader will resume the file from the progress point and give you the ability to set a series of downloads running. Speed at vadapav has improved of late by them adding a sub-domain to share the load. Choice of domains can be set by editing the script as can download path and save path see the top portion of the script for details.

Thanks Angela.

Tweaked the downloader same link new file https://files.videohelp.com/u/301890/vadapav.py

The script looked to see if a file had been downloaded and if so stopped. It didn't take account of other files in the list to download. Now if a file has been downloaded it skips to next as it always should have done. Playing with colour too!

I've created a direct player for Vadapav.mov
https://files.videohelp.com/u/301890/vada2mpv.py

It uses mpv as the video player and that needs to be on your system and in Path. If not add the full path to the mpv binary (on windows) like this

[Attachment 76677 - Click to enlarge]
Edit line 175

subprocess.call(['C:\\path\\to\\mpv.exe', url])

Great stuff, Angela! Using mpv to stream the media is a nice touch.

Thanks Stabbie, but honestly it was suggested to me by BurritoFlakes at vadapav.mov. But it opens up a world of possibilities doesn't it?

Only shame is mpv won't work on an Android phone in this context. It is hard to call an intent in an apk from within Termux. And if you should manage it Termux lacks an x-server to do the display. It is possible to run an x-server but it becomes so resource intensive it is not worth doing. But on a computer as you see, it work very well.

The children at vadapav don't seem to know what they want. Their API is in the process of being closed and drunk.vadapav.mov no longer works. They advertised themselves on reddit then complained of too many users downloading stuff with bots!

This software will very soon no longer work.

They have U-turned!! The API will remain up. You will need to edit vadapav.py. Comment out drunk.vadapav.mov and uncomment vadapav.mov as the base_url - see the top section of the script after imports.

Angela, why you don't Github?

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Update:
The boys at Vadapav.mov removed their api. So now this modified version scrapes the site instead.

This can be configured as a stand-alone or as part of UK-FTA see configurations near the top of the script.

Edit: Remember to update beaupy to the latest version

pip install beaupy --upgrade

I created web-crawler and set it loose on vadapav today; here are the results. Not very useful probably, but I was interested in experimenting with web-crawling. I leave it here for interest. Of course it is a snapshot in time and will be outdated when more stuff arrives at vadapav

https://buzzheavier.com/f/GMBuiUDcQAA= It is a text file of 2.93Mb
direct link https://dl.buzzheavier.com/1783546988216467456

Windows: Findstr Derry "Z:\Programming\vadacontent.txt"
Linux: grep -r Derry /home/angela/Programming/vadacontent.txt
Will find Derry Girls and its link.

What type of captcha? Some can be bypassed.

Is cloudfare - there is no human input but it decides of you are legit or not.

See if you can use anything from here

I think you just need the cf_clearance and the user agent for which you generated it. If this ain't the solution, I could take a closer look at what you need but when I access the url https://vadapav.mov/ I saw the cloudflare checking. I think it's the same stuff.

Thanks for the advice; much appreciated . I'm busy with something else right now and vadapav isn't urgent; I'll look into it later.

(Who would have guessed there is a module for cloudfare!)

When it comes to Python, there's a module for almost anything.

Vadapav.mov have removed the cloudfare 'human' check, so this script works once again. Vadapav is very busy and downloads can be slow. There is a setting near the top of the script for which vadapav server to use - choose one of these.
