Media Downloader
Smartly download media (Video/Music) from URLs (YouTube, Bilibili, X, etc.) to the appropriate local folders.
- Video: Save into
~/Movies/or~/Videos/. - Music: Save into
~/Music/. - Playlists: Saves items into a subdirectory (e.g.,
~/Music/<playlist_name>/).
Designed to work with a local Media Server (e.g., Universal Media Server, Jellyfin) for instant playback on TV/devices.
Agent Procedure
When the user provides a URL or asks to download media, you MUST follow this exact sequence:
Acknowledge:
- Immediately reply to the user: "Downloading with dl skill..."
Execute:
- Run the script:
bash uv run --script ${baseDir}/dl.py "<url>"
- Run the script:
Capture Path:
- Read the script output, a path will be printed to stdout at the end, points to either a single file or a folder contains the playlist items.
Upload (Telegram Only):
- If the user is on Telegram (check context or session) AND the file is audio (mp3/m4a):
- Use the
messagetool to send the file to the user:json { "action": "send", "filePath": "<filepath>", "caption": "Here is your music." }
Usage
Run dl.py as a uv script:
```bash
save into default dirs ~/Music or ~/Movies or ~/Videos
uv run --script ${baseDir}/dl.py
specify your own output dir
uv run --script ${baseDir}/dl.py
A optional cookies file could be provided to make yt-dlp more reliable, with which ever of these detected first:
${baseDir}/.cookies.txt$DL_COOKIES_FILE$COOKIES_FILE~/.cookies.txt
Setup (User)
This skill will be much more useful if you setup a media server on same machine to share the downloaded media in your LAN:
- Install a DLNA/UPnP Media Server (Universal Media Server, miniDLNA, Jellyfin).
- Share
~/Musicand~/Movies(or~/Videos) folders. - Downloaded media will appear automatically on your TV, with apps support DLNA/UPnP, such as VLC.
See example script to setup Universal Media Server on Mac.
