# TwinVine
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
TwinVine combines two Python packages:
|
||||
|
||||
TwinVine is the home of TWO packages [Vinefeeder](https://github.com/vinefeeder/TwinVine/blob/main/packages/vinefeeder/src/vinefeeder/README.md)
|
||||
and [Envied](https://github.com/vinefeeder/TwinVine/blob/main/packages/envied/README.md)
|
||||
- [Vinefeeder](https://github.com/vinefeeder/TwinVine/blob/main/packages/vinefeeder/src/vinefeeder/README.md)
|
||||
- [Envied](https://github.com/vinefeeder/TwinVine/blob/main/packages/envied/README.md)
|
||||
|
||||
TwinVine is the easy way to handle your download tasks.
|
||||
* When you have an exact program url - just use envied as a command line call.
|
||||
* When you only have the program name - just start with a search in vinefeeder.
|
||||
* When you dont know what you want; use the browse function.
|
||||
* Browse media categories like Film, Drama or Sport, for a selected service.
|
||||
* Batch Mode: select multiple downloads from various services and download all together.
|
||||
|
||||
TwinVine helps you find, select, and download media. Use the graphical front end when you want search and selection assistance, and use the command-line downloader for exact URLs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key workflows
|
||||
|
||||
**usage**
|
||||
- Use `envied` when you already have an exact program URL.
|
||||
- Use `vinefeeder` search when you only know a program name.
|
||||
- Use the browse feature when you want to explore categories like Film, Drama, or Sport.
|
||||
- Use Batch Mode to select and download multiple items from several services.
|
||||
|
||||
TwinVine is a sophisticated piece of software engineering, (if I am allowed to say that) , handling two Python packages at once, each inter-playing with the other. It needs treating differently from anything you will have used before.
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
All access must be done via the package manager - uv. You have two ways in
|
||||
TwinVine runs through the Python package manager `uv`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
uv run vinefeeder
|
||||
uv run envied dl --select-titles <service> <url>
|
||||
|
||||
### Run the main tools
|
||||
|
||||
To go to the command line use of 'envied', on Linix you may select 'run envied' after clicking the GUI envied button. On Windows, close the GUI directly, or ctrl+c to end the program and return to the terminal.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
uv run vinefeeder
|
||||
uv run envied dl --select-titles <service> <url>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Installation** - with binaries and python already installed
|
||||
### Access envied from the GUI
|
||||
|
||||
uv is the package manager and loads both VineFeeder and Envied together. Envied runs independenly or may be called by Vinefeeder.
|
||||
- On Linux: choose **run envied** after clicking the GUI `envied` button.
|
||||
- On Windows: close the GUI or press `Ctrl+C` to return to the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not alrealy have uv as a python package try to install it first, using pip -
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Install `uv` if needed:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install uv
|
||||
or
|
||||
python3 -m pip install uv
|
||||
or use your system's package manager to install python-uv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Install TwinVine;
|
||||
Or install `python-uv` through your system package manager.
|
||||
|
||||
the following installs the latest version directly from the GitHub repository:
|
||||
### Install TwinVine
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/vinefeeder/TwinVine.git
|
||||
cd TwinVine
|
||||
uv clean
|
||||
uv lock
|
||||
uv sync
|
||||
uv run vinefeeder --help or
|
||||
uv run vinefeeder --help
|
||||
uv run envied --help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Installation for Windows** with a bare machine and novice user. (Why not print out these instructions so you can tick them off as you work through them?)
|
||||
|
||||
You are going to install all the required binary files and automatically add then to system variable - Path. The Python interpreter will be installed automatically too.
|
||||
## Windows installation
|
||||
|
||||
This section is aimed at novice Windows users.
|
||||
A printer-friendly checklist is available here:
|
||||
|
||||
- download git from https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.52.0.windows.1/Git-2.52.0-64-bit.exe and run the installer
|
||||
- re-start your machine
|
||||
- Open Start
|
||||
- Type PowerShell and select open PowerShell
|
||||
- Within PowerShell change directory, chdir, or cd, to your chosen location, where TwinVine is to be installed, and type the following command followed by enter,
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/vinefeeder/TwinVine.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
[WINDOWS_INSTALL_CHECKLIST.txt](WINDOWS_INSTALL_CHECKLIST.txt)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- Files will be downloaded, a folder called TwinVine will be created.
|
||||
- Close PowerShell and re-open with admininstrator privileges. Do...
|
||||
- Open Start
|
||||
- Type PowerShell
|
||||
- Right-click Windows PowerShell → Run as administrator
|
||||
- Inside PowerShell, change directory to TwinVine (cd TwinVine) and run the following command by copying or typing the line, followed by pressing enter.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Install-media-tools.ps1
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Windows quick overview
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- Watch the installation, a number of binary files will be downloaded and installed to C:\Tool\bin. Installation will take a while. After finishing, close PowerShell and restart your machine.
|
||||
- Open Start
|
||||
- Type PowerShell
|
||||
- Type uv [return]. Expect to see a screen of help. If uv did not install from the Install-media-tools.ps1 script you will not see any response. Uv is a python package manager.
|
||||
- If uv is not installed close PowerShell and re-open as administrator, so
|
||||
- Open Start
|
||||
- Type PowerShell
|
||||
- Right-click Windows PowerShell → Run as administrator
|
||||
- Type powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/download/0.9.18/uv-installer.ps1 | iex" [return]
|
||||
1. Install Git for Windows.
|
||||
2. Clone the TwinVine repository.
|
||||
3. Run the Windows installer script.
|
||||
4. Verify that `uv` is installed.
|
||||
5. Initialize TwinVine and verify the commands.
|
||||
|
||||
- Close PowerShell and re-start your machine.
|
||||
- Type [WindowsKey]+R to open PowerShell,
|
||||
- cd to TwinVine and type each line below followed by return. Some commands will take a while to finish.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
uv lock
|
||||
uv sync
|
||||
cp .\packages\envied\src\envied\envied-working-example.yaml .\packages\envied\src\envied\envied.yaml
|
||||
uv run vinefeeder --help
|
||||
uv run envied --help
|
||||
uv run envied dl -?
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
That's it for Windows; uv run vinefeeder OR uv run envied dl -? to get started!
|
||||
Vinefeeder offers a graphical interace for some services; envied is a command-line tool for all services offered.
|
||||
## Linux installation
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux, use the bundled shell script to install required binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
**Installation for Linux** with a bare machine.
|
||||
1. Open `Install-media-tools.sh` in a text editor.
|
||||
2. Change the package manager command on lines 6 and 7 from `apt-get` to your distro's package manager (`dnf`, `pacman`, `zypper`, etc.).
|
||||
3. Save the file.
|
||||
4. Run:
|
||||
|
||||
There is an installation file to install binaries. Install-media-tools.sh. Open it in a text editor and edit lines 6 and 7. Change the Debian/Ubuntu package-manager command 'apt-get' to whatever your package manager uses (dnf, pacman, yast, etc)
|
||||
Then save and close and run the script with
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo bash ./Install-media-tools.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
The script will take some time to install. Check uv is installed.
|
||||
If not, you can install uv with the following command in a terminal window
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. If `uv` is still not installed, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
wget -qO- https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
Finally, cd to TwinVine and run each command in order,
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
uv lock
|
||||
uv sync
|
||||
cp ./packages/envied/src/envied/envied-working-example.yaml ./packages/envied/src/envied/envied.yaml
|
||||
uv run vinefeeder --help
|
||||
uv run envied --help
|
||||
uv run envied dl -?
|
||||
|
||||
6. Then initialize TwinVine:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd TwinVine
|
||||
uv lock
|
||||
uv sync
|
||||
cp ./packages/envied/src/envied/envied-working-example.yaml ./packages/envied/src/envied/envied.yaml
|
||||
uv run vinefeeder --help
|
||||
uv run envied --help
|
||||
uv run envied dl -?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That's it for Linux; uv run vinefeeder OR uv run envied dl -? to get started!
|
||||
Vinefeeder offers a graphical interace for some services; envied is a command-line tool for all services offered.
|
||||
## Locations
|
||||
|
||||
By default, downloaded files are saved to:
|
||||
|
||||
**Locations**
|
||||
- `TwinVine/packages/envied/src/downloads/`
|
||||
|
||||
As configured your files will be downloaded to TwinVine/packages/envied/src/downloads/
|
||||
The envied.yaml can be edited for the download location - use a full path, on windows with forward slashes C:/Users/Downloads and Linux /home/user/Downloads, for example.
|
||||
Cookies: As configured the Cookies folder is in packages/envied/src/. Each cookie file - type .txt should be names exactly as the service eg DNSP.txt and you personal login cookie placed inside.
|
||||
WVDs: A CDM - called device.wvd is located at TwinVine/WVDs
|
||||
Vaults: No local vaults are configured but a remote vault is used for caching and fetching. Often times you will see DRMLab s the source of the license key -saving unnecessary requests to a license server.
|
||||
Edit `packages/envied/src/envied/envied.yaml` to change the media-download location and other values like email:password for a service.
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux**
|
||||
- Use a full path.
|
||||
- On Windows, use forward slashes: `C:/Users/Downloads`.
|
||||
- On Linux, use `/home/user/Downloads`.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux systems are known to screen freeze after envied has finished a download.
|
||||
The top level vinefeeder config file at TwinVine/packages/vinefeeder/src/vinefeeder/config.yaml should have TERMINAL_RESET: True set.
|
||||
Cookies live in `packages/envied/src/`. Each cookie file should be named exactly for the service, for example `DNSP.txt`, and contain the service login cookie.
|
||||
|
||||
**Services**
|
||||
WVD files are stored in `TwinVine/WVDs/`, such as `device.wvd`.
|
||||
|
||||
Vinefeeder currently has 10 services for which search, browse and list-select are available
