PlaysTVPuller

Download your PlaysTV videos after shutdown!

This script will allow you to download almost all of your PlaysTV videos post shutdown.

How does it work?

It uses Internet Archive to access the latest archived version of your Plays TV profile and attempts to download each one of your videos with highest quality possible. (I was able to download %97 of my videos)

Requirements

1. Python 3.7+
2. git
3. Selenium web driver for your desired browser downloaded and added to your PATH.
4. Libraries located in the requirements.txt file. (They will be installed below.)

Installation and Usage

1. Install the repo and change your directory to the script's location

git clone https://github.com/Midorina/PlaysTVPuller
cd PlaysTVPuller

2. Install the required libraries

3. Run the script with your Plays.TV username

python playstvpuller.py YourPlaysTVUsername

That's it! The script will keep you informed in the process.
