N.A.N.Y. 2022 pledge: pdGet downloader v1.0

[publicdomain]

Pledging a fully-working pdGet v1.0 for N.A.N.Y. 2022 with:

• URLdrop + Web download macros (i.e. nkormanik's style)
• YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and other popular video sites downloads (via self-updating youtube-dl).
• Torrent support.
• Download server functionality. (This may motivate some people to get into personal servers)

That's my pledge & features' modules are meant to come in this exact order.

...I'm happy to shape a useful comprehensive downloader; these months are for lots of "coding fun"!

Good start

Good start 

Thanks! We can say the program is +50% done due to code reuse from Aria2c, youtube-dl, URLdrop and URL player... Let's say we are "expanding the wheel" rather than truly reinventing it (to which there's no need anyway)

The main goal of the program is to have a single/unified interface for several download modules, featuring our very personal settings & custom "goodies"

Any news about this one? Any test versions to download? By the way youtube-dl is most likely abandoned for good so I suppose replacing it with yt-dlp, the most actively maintained and popular fork would be a good idea.

Hello & good day! I'm currently coding the multi-site for PublicDomain.is to begin uploading on December.

Going to buy hosting on Black Friday to grab a good deal for the whole 2022

I've done work with YoutubeExplode as well, so no worries regarding yt-dl (https://github.com/Tyrrrz/YoutubeExplode)

There's certainly a selection of maintained libraries we can use for video fetching

Cheers!

Seems to me a huge and without final utility.

But any target is a victory !!!!!!

Alright, this NANY 2022 program is going to see the light past January 1st since it's more work than was foreseen but some other NANY 2022 releases are coming up during the next few days to close the year.

The full set of features being:

- URLdrop + Web download macros (i.e. nkormanik's style)
- YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and other popular video sites downloads (via self-updating youtube-dl).
- Torrent support.
- Download server functionality. (This may motivate some people to get into personal servers)

...Pushed to see the light during January, the way they're meant to be, functionality wise

Cheers!

In what language is pdGet written? I hope it is not JavaScript.

If you look at their github, you can see that all their prior releases are in C# - https://github.com/publicdomain/

Hi, it's C# but it's so messy right now I won't push the code because it's pretty unmaintanable. I'm simply focusing on KeyLoop to secure NANY 2022's entry prior to uploading cleaner pdGet's code in January.

The program is a fusion of code from several nkormanik's programs (URLister, URLdrop) + "dirty" youtube (non-API) + torrent + multi-threaded download libraries, all into a big single queue/list.

It'll get to a "maintainable" state for sure; I just have some other projects closer to completion to finish the year (i.e. BGGfetch, pdInput...) to deliver before this one. With just a few days left for 2021 to go, I'm prioritizing & leaning to the releases' side!

It is April now and there are still no news about the release of pdGet.

Hi! Thanks for the "ping" There's only an incomplete ALPHA on my computer working as a GUI for youtube-dl.

Right now the PD project is a side project. I'm pledging a first release with only youtube-dl support to get things running (it has support for plenty of sites in the library).

Once we "fix" the funding part, I'm willing to devote full-time work hours to helping the fellows with my skills

We're getting there thanks to each new Patron coming on board! ...Our PD project for the win!
