Media downloader, a GUI front end for safaribooks

[mhogomchungu]

Greetings,

I have a project named "media downloader"[1] it now supports safaribooks.

[1] https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader

ps: I had to fork because:-

1. I wanted "--destination" option to control where media should be downloaded to.
2. I wanted "--version" option to print a version string.
3. I wanted a release to point to when auto downloading.

Hi

Support for Safaribooks is a little confusing. The website is now called OReilly and your support for Safaribooks suugests the program can download "books" from the OReilly site.

If you are on linux, you can try it now by building from git and do the following.

1. Start media downloader and then click the configure tab.
2. Click "Add a plugin" button and enter a path to file named safaribooks.json with below contents after first replacing XXXXX and YYYYYY with your user name and password respectively.
3. If you do not want to save the user name and password in the config file, then you will have to enter them in the enter options field in the main window before you start downloading.
4. When done, restart the app and the entry for safaribooks will show up as seen in below image 2 and media downloader will automatically download safaribooks from my fork.

I have no problem and the point of this post is to inform this community of my GUI tool for those who want to use safaribooks with a GUI.

My view is simple, i have a GUI tool named "media downloader" and its purpose is to download online media and it supports a CLI tool named "safaribooks" that does the actual downloading. Where "safaribooks" gets its media is beyond my concern.

Fair!

Version 1.2.0 of media downloader is released and safaribooks extension is now officially supported and can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader/wiki/Extensions

Try to use safaribooks from this repository and check if it works as expected. I suspect the problem is local and has nothing to do with Media Downloader.
