Elixir Sips downloader written in Elixir.

Sipper

Downloader for Elixir Sips, implemented in Elixir for fun and learning.

Usage

You need a paid account with Elixir Sips. Then build the downloader and run it.

Building

Clone this repo and:

mix deps.get
mix escript.build  # (or just "mix": this is the default task)

This builds a sipper executable in the current directory.

The sipper executable is self-contained and can run on any machine with Erlang installed. Read more.

Downloading

Now you can download episodes with:

./sipper --user [email protected] --pw mypassword

If you want to limit the download to e.g. the last 3 episodes, do:

./sipper --user [email protected] --pw mypassword --max 3

By default, episodes are downloaded newest-first. If you want to instead download them oldest-first, do:

./sipper --user [email protected] --pw mypassword --oldest-first

If you want to ignore some episodes (e.g. deprecated content), do:

./sipper --user [email protected] --pw mypassword --ignore "007,008,009"

By default, files end up in ./downloads. You can specify another destination (automatically created if it doesn't exist):

./sipper --user [email protected] --pw mypassword --dir ~/Downloads/Elixir\ Sips

If a file exists on disk, it won't be downloaded again.

Saved configuration

If you don't want to specify these parameters each time, you can put them in a ~/.sipper file, containing e.g.

--user [email protected] --pw mypassword --dir ~/Downloads/Elixir\ Sips

Then you can just run the app like:

./sipper

Don't be evil

Be kind: only download for personal use.
