Hello there. Since this project is going to be somewhat rewritten, I'd like to move away from being forced to use the current CLI frontend (in main.py and littered throughout the codebase, for some reason).

Right now, the only way to easily use the code and functions in the src folder is to use main.py. What I want is for the code in the src folder to act more like a library that can be used through any python script.

The end goal for this change is to make an alternative dmenu frontend for this project and to make other alternate frontends easier to create (like the ulauncher version by Dankni).

I am willing to do all of the work in order to achieve this goal. I just wanted to make sure that you support it. If you do not agree with this vision, I will make a fork of this project to do it.

store anime and episode number of anime users have downloaded. have an extra function that checks all the anime in the history files for new episodes and downloads new available episodes for all anime in history files

Currently, video player closes after each episode. I know it is intentional as anipy-cli waits for the player to close and then proceeds to fetch another link (in binge mode). In the normal mode it doesn't need to wait for the end of an episode though...

I think it would be great to have an option for using the same window over and over again (one reason for this feature could be discord streaming, which is locked on a window and closes with it).

This could be done by prefetching all/specified links (not sure if that's an option though, not sure if they expire or not) and then loading all links into some sort of playlist, which would go to the video player.

Another option that comes on mind would be creating some sort of a link between the player and anipy-cli and (on user interaction) feed it with new links.

I know what i'm suggesting is not as simple to perform, but i generally think it would be a greatly appreciated by anyone who likes to watch anime together with friends.

Thanks for taking your time to read this, even if it may be in vain.

python3 ./run_anipy_cli.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./run_anipy_cli.py", line 2, in <module>
    from anipy_cli import cli
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'anipy_cli'

There are times when the internet connection is unstable and stream keeps buffering. It would be handy if there was an option in the Now Playing menu to download the current episode instead.

The current workaround is to either print the stream url and use yt-dlp to download the file but then manually rename and move. Or exit the current session and open it in Download Mode and search for the episode to download. Both of which are slight annoyance to accomplish the task.

Hi again,

I'm not sure if you want to implement something like this, but this makes it possible to use chrome and chromium for webdrivers.

What do you think?

Tested on Linux and Windows, as i have no mac there is no implementation for it, so it defaults to Firefox. Daniel

Adding support for Syncing with MyAnimeList

This feature enables the user to connect anipy-cli with a MyAnimeList account. The added MAL CLI let's the user:

• Add Anime to MAL list
• Delete anime from MAL list
• List anime in MAL list
• Manually Map MAL anime to gogo Link
• Sync MAL list into seasonals
• Sync seasonals into MAL list
• Download newest episodes
• Download all episodes
• Binge watch newest episodes

The MAL CLI is almost like the seasonal CLI, but adds some syncing features.

Other Changes:

• remove kitsu.py dependencies as we are using GoGo for Season-Search now (no dependencies)
• seasonals file is formatted pretty now(multi line)
• when in MAL mode watched EPs are being synced to anime list on MAL

@sdaqo I tried to test everything and it seems like I got everything working, but like always testing is appreciated <3

Added options for searching anime by season on kitsu

I wanted to have the option to display and select anime by year and season, so the following was implemented:

1. AnimeInfo Class ( handles the kitsu stuff )
2. Option to search for anime by season in download_cli method
3. Same for seasonal_cli
4. Changed some logic in download_cli so downloads start in bulk after episode selection for multiple shows is done

I am not sure if this accounts as an bug or an PR. but we need to address how the program interacts with special episodes (usually has an episode numbers with .5 decimal)

Describe the bug The current program doesn't identify .5 episodes and incorrectly maps the special episodes as regular episodes.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run program
2. Search for '86 Part 2' (not the dub)
3. Select Episode 6
4. Episode 6.5 starts playing instead

Expected behavior The program should play regular episode (episode 6) instead of special episode (episode 6.5). If i recall correctly, the URL has an '-5' added to the end.

Additional context Things I think the program should do

1. The program maps the regular and .5 episodes correctly
2. The episode selection UI should indicate presence and allow selection of .5 episodes

I detected this with 86 first but check with other series with .5 episodes in between. Ideally, gogo should categorize them as special episodes but here we are.

Describe the bug downloads fails and program crashes

1. select download mode or even just use it normally error and output:

Platform

• Ubuntu (linux)

made quite some changes to the multi threaded downloading of m3u8 playlists. Heavily inspired by this project.

Requires ffmpeg for mergin downloaded parts now.

This is basically the same as #56 , but with improvements.

Adding support for Syncing with MyAnimeList

This feature enables the user to connect anipy-cli with a MyAnimeList account. The added MAL CLI let's the user:

• Add Anime to MAL list
• Delete anime from MAL list
• List anime in MAL list
• Manually Map MAL anime to gogo Link
• Sync MAL list into seasonals
• Sync seasonals into MAL list
• Download newest episodes
• Download all episodes
• Binge watch newest episodes

The MAL CLI is almost like the seasonal CLI, but adds some syncing features.

Other Changes:

• remove kitsu.py dependencies as we are using GoGo for Season-Search now (no dependencies)
• seasonals file is formatted pretty now(multi line)
• when in MAL mode watched EPs are being synced to anime list on MAL

Extra:

• config populates with default values if no config file exists
• fixed binge mode in MAL
• removed confusing output

Describe the bug This bug happens when an anime episode on gogo is not actually on the gogo server and needs to be streamed from streamsb. It causes the program to crash when trying to watch it or download it.

You can also tell that it needs to be streamed from streamsb because that is what happens on gogo.

Link to episode on gogo: https://gogoanime.gg/cowboy-bebop-dub-episode-15

To Reproduce Try watching or downloading Cowboy Bebop (Dub) episode 15.

Expected behavior Normal Operation.
