As Funimation drama unravels, here’s a reminder for you that yt-dlp is able to download Funimation videos. Use that opportunity to preserve your collections before they’re gone! (and keep them forever and ever)
Credits to humble jbk@discuss.tchncs.de who brought that up!
I’m with you. Used to use front ends, but when everything is configured nicely, the CLI becomes way more simple and powerful. Just for the ability alone to batch your downloads, the CLI is a total winner in my book :)
For the record, I can recommend using the following programs in combination with it:
Sublime Text - For editing your commands
Xtreme download manager - For extracting the urls
The network tab in your browser - For getting the m3u8
VS Code - For a nice UI to run it
