Hello Lemmy,
I am back once more speaking about my kemono/Coomer project, and this time I am finally releasing a public beta!
For the better part of a month, I've been working on this GUI + library and while its not really that complicated to make, I've continued to improve it as much as I can!
This project has so far exceeded my expectations. It supports scanning for mega links in post descriptions and downloading them if the user requests it (this requires proxies however due to mega quota). If you plan to use this feature, I highly recommend Proxifier (I hear it's available on the 7 seas).
It supports mass image downloading, mass video downloading, built-in text translations via Google Translate, config support, and more!
If you're an avid user of kemono/Coomer, I humbly implore you to try out my program and tell me what you think! Please report any bugs that may exist on the GitHub repo.
EDIT: Mega.nz support is experimental right now, so it is disabled by default on the GUI. MegaCMD server has some very strange hanging issues that I will be addressing in a future update.
I have taken a look at it in the past and it is extremely bare bones and does not have translation support, which is a major feature of this project
Also I've noticed that with bulk projects like gallery-dl that support a massive number of websites, the websites can often be neglected simply because there's too many to manage
Hello,
I had this same thought, and as I've stated in the original post, when this goes public the creators are more then welcome to shoot me a message on GitHub and I'd happily remove it.
This project however keeps HTTP requests to a minimum and isn't very different from a normal user browsing the website. The only real load cost is on their CDN server which is probably designed for high traffic environments.
Out of respect for the developers, I can also modify the user agent of the HTTP requests so they could filter them based specifically on this application if that's an approach they'd be okay with.
From a programming standpoint kemono is a bit harder to pull off because they use a lot of archivers and have more foreign creators as the most popular results
However yes, it's a relatively simple program from a programming standpoint, however I tried to make the GUIs as QoL as possible with multithreading and a file downloading lib that allows fast and efficient multipart downloading which circumvents a lot of RAM requirements if the entire download is stored into RAM (such is the case with the C# REST library)
Another benefit of kemono is that it isn't STRICTLY for pornographic content and has a variety of patreon files which my scraper also supports. Currently only discord is unsupported at the moment solely because parsing the HTML is extremely annoying as they basically piggybacked the actual discord service's URL scheme
Hello Lemmy piracy subreddit,
Posting this here as the reddit sub has a karma threshold which I don't meet and can't be bothered to pander to.
I've written 2 GUI-bases programs that were originally CLI as a personal project. These programs allow you to batch download posts from a single creator on the party networks Kemono and Coomer. Both feature an automatic translation toggle allowing all posts and the creators name to be translated (uses Google translate API) and has various config options.
Considering this was a relatively simple and straightforward tool, I feel it's a bit niche and thus am asking the community whether they would like this program to be released. If enough people want it, then I'll release it publically as long as the kemono and Coomer devs are fine with it. The tools don't really do any aggressive behaviors as it mimics an actual user as much as possible (selenium is not used here for the nerds reading, only raw GET requests) and doesn't tax kemono/Coomer servers to my knowledge. If this is incorrect then I obviously will revoke the release if applicable.
Please let me know in the comments if this is something you'd be interested in using, or if this is too niche of a program.
