Suggest to merge with youtube-dl #9

Closed forthrin closed 8 years ago

forthrin commented 8 years ago

youtube-dl almost supports all the functionality in Apple Trailers Downloader. Would you be willing to merge the missing functionality into youtube-dl? See https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/7924

This would make ATD superfluous really, and youtube-dl has become so powerful that it makes sense to put energy into that instead. It's written in Python also.

It's not really possible to copy the ATD code into youtube-dl, especially since they don't want to depend on BeautifulSoup, a library used throughout the ATD code. Someone would have to reimplement the ATD functionality in a way that makes sense within the youtube-dl architecture and refactor the code that uses BeautifulSoup.

I'm not especially interested in doing that work, but anyone else is welcome to use ATD as a reference if they want to add the functionality to youtube-dl.
