As Funimation drama unravels, here's a reminder for you that yt-dlp is able to download Funimation videos. Use that opportunity to preserve your collections before they're gone! (and keep them forever and ever)
Credits to humble [email protected] who brought that up!
yt-dlp is amazing, it's just magical and works everywhere!
It's great, but I wish there was a GUI front-end for it.
Does it need one? This tool is dead simple
Yeah for doing batch stuff. I’d like to be able to say copy and paste 15 different playlists, deselect some of the videos in them, and be able to walk away from my computer.

This thing has lots, lots of options :)
That is not easier or quicker than shift selecting 70 videos in a list in a list and ctrl clicking the 6 I don't want.
There's a reason GUIs won out over CLIs for most use cases.

(I shouldn't take the bait...) ah, and what do you think that is?
What drama?
Sony owns both Crunchyroll and Funimation. Sony is consolidating Funimation into Crunchyroll, but they are not preserving people's digital collections. People are losing access to the digital collections they purchased on Funimation even though Sony isn't going out of business.
all front ends for yt-dlp
