Copying links to thousands of Twitch VODs at once

Software & Operating Systems Windows
1

So, a friend of mine has gone and left Twitch behind, and I want to download his old stuff. Unfortunately, the best VOD downloader only accepts single links, and when I scroll down the list of videos on the dude’s videos page (Several years worth), eventually my browser starts to crap itself. Is there a way to grab 3,000+ links at once?

Space is not an issue.

Would something like JDownloader2 work with this?

That was my first thought, but unfortunately there hasn’t been much progress in getting Twitch to work with JD2 other than to use VideoDownloaderHelper as a plugin. Reliability is … questionable.

I’m hoping that a working method IS found; JD2 would make things a LOT easier.

You can try twitch-dl

Or YouTube-dl

Though youtube-dl might out of date,

So if you have issues, you might opt for

Which gets posted to the r/youtube-dl

It would sound great, if I could understand Python. -_-;;;;;

Trolling aside install python with miniforge

Create a environment anything beyond 3.7
https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#creating-an-environment-with-commands

Activate your environment

conda activate $your-env-name

Open the repo and run the commands in the install guide.

Alternatively you can just install it using pipx

Within your conda environment,

pip install pipx
