Quality selection #15

Closed haj1s closed 3 years ago

First of all, a great thing you got going on here, it's exactly what I was looking for :p.

second, I mainly use it to batch download animes and since quality affects the file size, it would be a lot more efficient for me to be able to lower the quality (and also because my display is 720p lol)

Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

Aight, so, all the sites added in this project have this, kind of, "source" quality, which is usually a singular quality MP4 from their servers. Exception to this is, AnimePahe, the only provider that supports a quality selection because it serves just HLS quality streams. To use this, just create a animdl_config.json file in the working directory for animdl, and then, just insert the following as the content of that file:

{
    "preferred_quality": 1080
}

What this will do is select a quality in the HLS downloading, a MP4 download isn't possible to be downloaded at something that's not their real size 😔.

If you're looking for 720p streams, you can always use Anime1 or AnimeOut because they mainly contain 720p MP4 streams, all the others, except AnimePahe, contain the "standard" 1080p streams!
