bilili

bilili is a command-line tool designed to download videos and related content from the Bilibili video platform. It focuses on enabling users to retrieve user-uploaded videos as well as serialized content such as bangumi episodes directly from the terminal environment. It provides automated downloading capabilities that handle video streams and associated data efficiently while minimizing manual interaction. bilili supports retrieving both the video files and danmaku comments, which are the scrolling overlay comments commonly associated with the platform’s videos. These danmaku comments can be automatically converted into ASS subtitle format for playback compatibility with media players. bilili also implements multi-threaded and segmented downloading techniques to improve download performance and reliability. Additionally, it supports resuming interrupted downloads so partially downloaded content can continue without restarting from the beginning.
