Example URLs

Description

I hope, that this might qualify as a website which could be supported. I do hope that, because you can't really play the videos on the website itself, but only download them directoy or follow a link to youtube.

Each movie has at least one mirror to archive.org where one can directly download the movie file. The file name is semi-shortened, like braid-tas-keylie.mkv Difficulty: more often the movie is listed at least twice, with information like (MKV Modern HQ) or (MP4 Compatibility).

As Metadata it would be great to have the following:

"Playlists" are search results via the filters on the website. Each filter adds something to the URL, but all URLs always starts with "tasvideos.org/Movies-"

I kinda enjoy watching speedruns and hopefully others might as well and would be able to create an extractor.

Can't you just go to the youtube link listed on the video's homepage?

Feathered-Serpent commented 4 years ago

Then I get a (I guess) recoded video from Youtube. Getting the original files would be more welcome (at least for me).

And automation would still be missing if I had to click on each Youtube link manually.

I made an extractor - has everything except for description and the right-side tags.

Also - you can watch videos live on the site, there are buttons in the top-left corner that make a media-player appear
