Due to all the new hurdles, development is over. Thanks for all the support!

kissanime-dl

Downloads all mp4s from a kissanime, kisscartoon, or kissasian mastersite! (kissanime.ru/Anime/, kisscartoon.se/Cartoon/, kissasian.com/Drama/)

Currently supports as hosts:

Blogspot

Dependencies:

lxml

requests

js2py

pycryptodome

pip

Installation

*nix or OSX:

For some odd reason, this requires sudo for lxml

STATIC_DEPS=true sudo -H pip install lxml
pip install kissanime_dl

Alternative installation instructions for Linux if facing problems with pip

# Remove problematic pip install
sudo apt-get remove python-pip

# Install dependencies
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools libxslt1-dev python-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential libgmp10 pypy-dev
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install --upgrade requests
sudo pip install js2py
sudo pip install pycryptodome
sudo easy_install lxml

# Install kissanime_dl
pip install -U kissanime_dl

Note : If pip install -U kissanime_dl is run with root privileges, the module throws errors if update is available. This happens as the module is unable to write to its install directory to perform the update. The solution to this is to either not install module with root privileges or run download as root once an update is available and normally after that

Windows:

Windows is a tricky one.

Try:

pip install kissanime_dl

If you get an error like:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)

There are more steps needed. First, go to

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml

and download the latest lxml wheel.

Then, type

pip install PATH_LXML

where PATH_LXML is the path to the lxml wheel you downloaded.

Then, try to reinstall.

Usage:

Type into shell:
kissanime-dl URL PATH_TO_DOWNLOAD OPT_ARGS

####
MAKE SURE THAT kissanime_dl RUNS IN SEPARATE DIRECTORIES FOR DIFFERENT URLS, OR ELSE UPDATE WILL BE SCREWY
####

First argument: the url to the kiss-site master page. It can also be "update" which will download any videos not downloaded into the folder.
"update" can only be used if kissanime_dl has been run in that directory and has generated a history file

Second argument: the path to download files to

Optional arguments:

--verbose: Verbose output

--simulate: Grabs download urls, but doesn't download

--episode=OPT_BEG%OPT_END: Downloads specific episodes.
	If only OPT_BEG is given WITHOUT "%", only one episode will be downloaded.
	If only OPT_BEG is given WITH "%", then all files after OPT_BEG will be downloaded.
	If only OPT_END is given WITH "%", then all files before OPT_END will be downloaded.
	If OPT_BEG and OPT_END is given, then a range between the two will be downloaded.
	"%" literal needs to be between the two.
	OPT_BEG needs to be above OPT_END in terms of the page

--max_threads=VAL: Sets the max_threads to search for the download urls.
	The threads for the actual downloading is not affected.
	The actual downloading uses one thread per file

--quality=QUAL: Sets the quality of the downloaded video.
	If the quality is not found, the highest one is downloaded

--txtlinks
	Doesn't downloads the videos, but prints the direct video urls into a txt file.

--forcehistory
	Forces a history to be written with the given episodes.
	This is good for manually setting files you don't want to download when updating

—noupdate
	Prevents kissanime_dl from autoupdating

--delay=SEC
	Adds a delay between get requests to the master page
	Value in seconds

--legacy
   	Runs the script in legacy mode (before update 1.9.0)

--autogen
	Names the episodes numerically rather than the found filename. Good when it outputs clunky names.

--help: Prints help
