This Python script will download any video from the BitChute video platform to your PC for archival or offline use. The target video will be placed in a clearly named directory based on the publisher's name, a file name will be created based on the video title & publishing date and a check will be done for duplicate files. The project is inspired by YouTube-DL.
You'll need Python >= 3.6 and you can use pip to automatically install this command line tool and the required lxml dependency:
sudo pip install bitchute-dl
If you prefer to download this repository you could install it after unpacking like so:
sudo pip install .
Here is an example of how to use bitchute-dl:
bitchute-dl https://www.bitchute.com/video/oX3AgHj0jlUX/
To keep videos organized, a new folder will be created in the current directory and the target video saved inside:
./Matteljay/20200529 Tightcms Set Up Your Own Website Cms Built In Vuejs With Mongodb Docker Container.mp4
Feel free to modify the script's behavior, it is a nice example of a small Python app that will perform web scraping actions based on XPath XML selectors.
