Binary Location

Default Locations

  • Windows: C:\binary
  • MacOS: ~/Applications/binary
  • Linux: ~/.local/bin/binary

You can customize these locations by following these steps for your operating system:

Windows

  1. Move the binary folder from C:\binary to your desired location
  2. Add the new path to Windows environment variables:
    • Open Start menu and search for "Environment Variables"
    • Click "Edit the system environment variables"
    • Click "Environment Variables" button
    • Under "System Variables", find and select "Path"
    • Click "Edit"
    • Add the new binary folder path
    • Click "OK" to save changes

For detailed Windows PATH instructions, see the Windows PATH guide.

MacOS

  1. Move the binary folder from ~/Applications/binary to your desired location
  2. Add the new path to your shell's configuration file:
    # For bash (edit ~/.bash_profile)
    export PATH="/your/custom/path:$PATH"
    
    # For zsh (edit ~/.zshrc)
    export PATH="/your/custom/path:$PATH"
  3. Reload your shell configuration:
    # For bash
    source ~/.bash_profile
    
    # For zsh
    source ~/.zshrc

Linux

  1. Move the binary folder from ~/.local/bin/binary to your desired location
  2. Add the new path to your shell's configuration file:
    # For bash (edit ~/.bashrc)
    export PATH="/your/custom/path:$PATH"
    
    # For zsh (edit ~/.zshrc)
    export PATH="/your/custom/path:$PATH"
  3. Apply the changes:
    source ~/.bashrc   # for bash
    # or
    source ~/.zshrc    # for zsh

Important

After moving the binary folder, ensure that all executables (ffmpeg, ffprobe, ffplay) are present in the new location and have the correct permissions:

  • Windows: .exe extensions required
  • MacOS/Linux: Ensure files have execute permissions (chmod +x filename)

Note

When using subtitles on Windows, please note that the default Windows Media Player may not display them correctly. We recommend using VLC Media Player for proper subtitle display and optimal playback experience.

Important

Language code availability may vary by site. Some platforms might:

  • Use different language codes
  • Support only a subset of these languages
  • Offer additional languages not listed here

Check the specific site's available options if downloads fail.

Tip

You can configure multiple languages by adding them to the lists:

"specific_list_audio": ["ita", "eng", "spa"],
"specific_list_subtitles": ["ita", "eng", "spa"]

For the best viewing experience, we recommend using VLC Media Player:

  • Supports all video formats and codecs
  • Properly displays embedded subtitles
  • Available for all major operating systems
  • Free and open-source

You can download VLC Media Player from the official website.

Docker

You can run the script in a docker container, to build the image just run

docker build -t streaming-community-api .

and to run it use

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 streaming-community-api

By default the videos will be saved in /app/Video inside the container, if you want to to save them in your machine instead of the container just run

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 -v /path/to/download:/app/Video streaming-community-api

Docker quick setup with Make

Inside the Makefile (install make) are already configured two commands to build and run the container:

make build-container

# set your download directory as ENV variable
make LOCAL_DIR=/path/to/download run-container

The run-container command mounts also the config.json file, so any change to the configuration file is reflected immediately without having to rebuild the image.

Telegram Usage

Configuration

The bot was created to replace terminal commands and allow interaction via Telegram. Each download runs within a screen session, enabling multiple downloads to run simultaneously.

To run the bot in the background, simply start it inside a screen session and then press Ctrl + A, followed by D, to detach from the session without stopping the bot.

Command Functions:

πŸ”Ή /start – Starts a new search for a download. This command performs the same operations as manually running the script in the terminal with test_run.py.

πŸ”Ή /list – Displays the status of active downloads, with options to:

Stop an incorrect download using /stop .

View the real-time output of a download using /screen .

⚠ Warning: If a download is interrupted, incomplete files may remain in the folder specified in config.json. These files must be deleted manually to avoid storage or management issues.

πŸ›  Configuration: Currently, the bot's settings are stored in the config.json file, which is located in the same directory as the telegram_bot.py script.

.env Example:

You need to create an .env file and enter your Telegram token and user ID to authorize only one user to use it

TOKEN_TELEGRAM=IlTuo2131TOKEN$12D3Telegram
AUTHORIZED_USER_ID=12345678
DEBUG=False

Install Python Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

On Linux/MacOS:

Start the bot from the folder /StreamingCommunity/TelegramHelp

python3 telegram_bot.py
