Floatplane Downloader Automagically downloads the latest videos from Floatplane and optionally formats them to be viewed in Plex.

Both downloading videos as they release and archiving the entire backlog is supported!
This requires a Floatplane subscription.

floatplane-downloader's Issues

400/Bad Request Error when 2160p is enabled

Beta is working great overall so far, one bug I found is when 2160p is enabled. I get HTTP 400 (Bad Request) error for all episodes from the looks of it. Dropping back to 1080p in the config files works as a workaround.

Can you create a tutorial to do this on a NAS?

I have a Synology DS218+ and was trying to set this up on it. It seems a lot of the instructions are Windows based, but you also mention it can be done on other operating systems. I was able to get Node.js installed, but I have no way of running the bat or anything of that sort as far as I can see.

Thank you

Plex username/password is incorrect after selecting "No" to Plex refreshing

Hey one thing I noticed is that it asks whether or not I want to automatically refresh plex libraries. I selected no, and it still prompted me for my plex credentials. I left them both blank and said it was incorrect.

Keep up the awesome work though, this is amazing software :D

Replace progress bars when headless is true

Progress bars really shouldn't be enabled when headless is true to avoid bloating logfiles.

Replace the progress bar output with a simplified console output that still gives information without flooding stdout.

Error with FFMPEG

Had this happen just a few moments ago when running the program.

reconnecting but not resubscribing afik

Was requested to add this to the issues list by Inrixia.

Error 520 when trying to run

As per Discord beta chat talk, I get this error now whenever I try to load the program

Disable range queries if download fails due to "Code 416 Range Not Satisfiable"

postProcessingCommand error handling triggers message every time

Regardless of the actual outcome of a post-processing command, the error message seems to always be triggered after downloading a video.

This can be seen using a very simple command such as echo 'Hello world!'. On further testing, it seems that stderr is defined regardless of outcome, but just empty.

So perhaps there should be an emptiness check too, or the check should instead be run based on non-zero exit status.

Script not finding existing episodes

With my settings, the glob command is returning 0 episodes found.

I think it's because i have season folders enabled, so the glob command needs to be changed slightly, i have it set to:

glob.sync(`${settings.videoFolder}/${channel}/*/*.mp4`).length

Error: Cannot find module 'm3u8stream/lib/parse-time'

When i try to run the downloader (Version 4.6.3) i get this error

Error: Cannot find module 'm3u8stream/lib/parse-time'

I'm trying to archive all the videos. I first tried setting maxVideos to 0, but then it downloaded nothing, so then I tried -1 and still got nothing, so then tried 1000000000 and then 100000000 and am currently receiving extensive spamming of:

    at Request._callback (/home/hbh7/floatplanedownloader/float.js:720:23)

    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)

After a while of that, it switches to spamming:

No Videos Returned! Please open Floatplane.com in a browser and login...

It seemed to work fine when maxVideos was at 5, but they do have more than 5 videos so that won't do haha. I'll keep trying smaller numbers but this seems like a case that should be able to be handled better.

Thanks

ReferenceError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment

Hello,

I'm new to Node.js, when I run this script I'm getting this error, and the script doesn't appear to be adding videos into Plex. I cannot identify any processes running on my machine that indicates that this script is running and would automatically download and add videos.

Steps to reproduce:
Run Floatplane.bat

Socket hang up

So my docker creation stopped working a while ago, getting lots of these errors:

{ Error: socket hang up

Don't know yet if it has to do with the fact that it's running as a Docker image, it's using exactly the same script at the latest version (at the moment of writing this 4.2.8).
I already tried several things, like pinging the address it's hanging up on from the docker console, but that seems to be working fine.

So I would like to know if anyone has encountered this on a "normal" installation, or if you have any ideas?

Plex cant determine correct name

I was wondering if it'd be possible to have the script also modify the mp4 title tag (not just the file name) as I think I've tried everything to try and get plex to recognize the names and it can't figure it out. They continue to be "Episode #" rather than the actual titles.

Will a 4k option be available soon?

License?

Hi,
I just wanted clarification, what license does this project/repo use?

I didn't see any license file in the repo so I'm assuming it's licensed under the copyright of the author.

Would appreciate it if it was open source as opposed to the current "code available" status.

Add error handling for post-processing command

Currently if the postProcessing command errors/fails it will throw an error for the download it belonged to potentially resulting in unexpected behaviour.

Any errors that occur should be dealt with without interrupting/breaking the normal execution.

I have tried setting it via the quickstart questions with no luck but it never allows me to enter the username/password

I have tried skipping the quickstart questions and manually supplying the password and username to enviroment variables but it still doesn't work

I have tried copying a working config from a windows PC (both the whole file and parts of it along with cookies.json) but it still doesn't work and only shows

Update defaults and settings to include the floatplane edge

For some reason the wiki and defaults don't include the floatplane edge optional setting. This should be added for transparency on what a user can set.

Unauthorized in login

When trying to login, got the HTTPError: Response code 401 (Unauthorized).

Checked the password and username in floatplane, and it's not wrong. Probably a change in the login api.

Ability to change artwork filename / add suffix

Kodi looks for artwork in the format VIDEONAME**-thumb**.png, and so currently ignores the downloaded image.

It would be great to have an option to add a custom suffix string to the already defined filepath.

Put links to the poster (thumbnail) images in the Wiki pages.

There are some lovely posters but no way of downloading them at the moment.

Error: Failure when trying to download a video and the preferred resolution doesn't exist

Had this with the recent "I'm considering retiring" video from Linus. I have my settings.json set to download 1080 videos, but the maximum resolution of that was 720. So it downloaded a partial 1kb file with the .part extension, and then errored out. As long as that 1kb file existed in my /videos/ folder, the script wouldn't even continue to checking if there were any new videos, it just kept spitting out an error about the failed 1kb.part file and refused to go on further. (Screenshot of the error uploaded to the Discord #help channel, but here's the url to it: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468977376794247199/670493998091337748/unknown.png )

Was 'fixed' by temporarily changing the .json settings to look for the 720p video and downloading that, then changing settings back to 1080 afterwards.

Strip html tags from description

HTML tags should be sripped from description as some clients do not know how to display them.

Error trying to download

Hi, whenever I run the float.js script it keeps exiting with this error:

An error occurred: connect ECONNREFUSED 144.217.49.155:443 { Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 144.217.49.155:443

  errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',

  port: 443 } undefined

I have a feeling it might be CloudFlare blocking the request because there were too many requests sent and it thinks it could be an attack. Any ideas?

delete aged videos

it would be useful to have a setting to delete videos from certain channels when they are over a certain age

i would find this useful as excluding vods i am only using this so i can watch stuff on my fire tv and so save progress in plex as floatplane rather annoyingly doesn't save progress.

Option to keep subchannel prefixes in video title

I'd like an option to be able to keep the subchannel prefixes that are normally stripped as part of the channel identification.

This is currently being removed the video title as part of the channel identification here.

Feature Request: Logging

Would it be possible to log to a file as well?
For example when a video is downloaded or when something errored.
I found this library online: https://github.com/log4js-node/log4js-node

Error

I keep getting this error

maxParallelDownloads not working

Like already mentioned on Discord this setting seems to be broken. No matter what i use it always downloads all videos at once.

I would really appreciate if this would get fixed. Because then i should be able to download the complete backlog of LTT videos on Floatplane with better audio and no ad spots.

Add support for DD-MM-YYYY / YYYY-MM-DD in file names

For easier sorting of episodes, using a date based format (DD-MM-YYYY / YYYY-MM-DD) would probably be preferable.

This is also supported by the plex naming convention. As seen under "Date-Based Television Shows" section here

Using this, there should be no need to do any sort of episode numbering.
This would also work for sorting the files for people not using plex/emby/jellyfin, as they would be sortable by release date if using YYYY-MM-DD format.

after being sorted the video files still have the sub channel initials in the name. this is unnesasery and ugly

Issue with WAN show naming and all episode numbering

surely this isn't right?

LTT Subchannels broken

A floatplane change has broken subchannels. Need to modify matching to fix.

FFMPEG doesn't work if headless = true

looks like it's using the wrong path for ffmpeg

if i set headless to false it works

Looks like you missed a line when fixing this? #57

i suspect here is your issue

Line 172 in 9dcb6a3

'./db/ffmpeg',

EDIT: i would make a PR but i don't know the syntax of this language.

[Feature] Add ability to pause download queue

This feature would ideally pause ongoing downloads, but optionally, or at the developer's discretion it should be able to stop the program moving onto any further video downloads in the queue. One potential method of doing this is to allow the resumption of downloads and video discovery by taking advantage of the db directory to store progress and the queue itself. Another would be to provide a hotkey to press to stop the download queue temporarily, and press again to resume.

Please let me know if further explanation is needed!

Videos Forbidden

I'm trying to look into this issue, maybe you might know what's up.

Half the videos that are downloading end up being 72bytes with html contents, but it only happens on random videos. If i re-run it, it works fine, but it ends up duplicating videos with different episode numbers.

Suggestion to avoid issues with LMG

Hi,
I have a suggestion to avoid future possible conflict with LMG.

Perhaps consider renaming the project to "Unofficial Floatplane Downloader" or "Unofficial Downloader for Floatplane".

As someone who has made unofficial projects in the past and talked to LMG, one of the big issues is that they don't want unofficial projects to be associated with them or using their branding.
And this project name change would help differentiate the brand identity of this project from LMG and would help avoid future conflict with LMG.

Also, I would suggest removing the statement at the bottom of the ReadMe page as LMG has no right to ask you to take down this project if you're not infringing upon their trademark or copyright.

Move ffmpeg binary for docker release

As discussed on discord, having the ffmpeg on a user mounted bind is not a great idea, suggest moving it to inside the docker container, things like noexec on moounts can cause issues etc otherwise.

Issue with downloading to a NAS

Been having issues when downloading straight to a NAS. Either iSCSI share or SMB share it still gives me errors. Downloading straight to folder on the drive it is installed to is fine however.

https://pastebin.com/M2XqRzTd. Here is my pastebin of the errors.

Thanks!

When there are 2 videos in the same post, the downloader don't download the two of them

In the video:

There is two video, and the downloader is downloading only the second one.

ReadError: The server aborted pending request

This is the most common problem I run into after the new version update. After a while of downloading videos, it will get roughly halfway (between 40%-50%) through downloading a video when the entire download process will stop and wait for me to close the program when this error pops up. (I'm also unsure if the hard-coded path in the below screenshot helps or hurts anything in the process, but I definitely don't have this thing installed to c:\snapshot so I'm assuming it's your path.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468978648460820490/819960585113305138/unknown.png

Also I'm not sure if this error is related to total amount of time elapsed when downloading (ie: it errors out after 60 minutes) or if it errors out after X number of files, but this is preventing me from leaving the program running all night to download my whole queue :(

Feature: Use publish date as file creation and modify date

Due to the episode numbering being completely random I chose to disable it as it was doing more harm to the sorting in Plex than good. With the publication date in the file name plex will create season folders for each year. However, if the creation and modification date of the file is edited to the publication date this will fix the issues when downloading a large backlog of videos. With 10,000 set in the settings, all videos on Floatplane from LTT will be downloaded. I used Advanced Renamer (free windows software) to edit the creation and modification dates based on the date in the file name and it has worked fairly well, although it does get stuck when loading the files so patience is needed.

Having this built into the software would be a really nice feature, as Sonarr and Radarr also do this to avoid new versions showing up as new in Plex.
