An application for easily download video content from Crunchyroll combining youtube-dl and mkvmerge. Build a fancy-mkv file with subtitles and fonts attached
- Choose between softsub or hardsub (no transcoding!)
- Choose as you want to download: individual episode, several episodies or full series
- Choose which quality you want to get (from 240p to 1080p)
- On softsubbing, attach only one subtitle track or all subtitles track
- On softsubbing, attach your own fonts to the mkv file
- On softsubbing, warn if there are fonts missing
- Spoof your user-agent and cookies file for logging with your account
Before starting, you must get your cookies file (to export your Crunchyroll authentication) and know which is your user agent (even if you haven't an account, just for bypassing Cloudflare).
To next, you must prepare a volume where you will place your future downloads. In this folder, you must put your cookies file too. The container path for the downloads will be /downloads
Additionally, you could prepare a volume where you will place custom fonts. (A warning appears while downloading a video when a font is missing). The container path for the fonts will be /fonts
