See [yt-dlp plugins](#yt-dlp-plugins) for details. ### Local (non-Docker) If running outside Docker, the bot uses whatever yt-dlp is in your PATH. Install plugins and a JS runtime as described below under [yt-dlp plugins](#yt-dlp-plugins). ## yt-dlp plugins Some sites require yt-dlp plugins or a JavaScript runtime to work. The Docker image bundles these automatically; for local installs you need to set them up manually. ### hanime-plugin Adds support for hanime.tv, hstream.moe, hentaihaven.com and others. ```bash pip install hanime-plugin ``` The plugin requires a JavaScript runtime. [Deno](https://deno.com) is recommended: ```bash # Linux/macOS curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh # Add to your shell config: export PATH="$HOME/.deno/bin:$PATH" ``` ### Adding other plugins yt-dlp plugins are Python packages installed via pip. Most work without additional runtimes. Install any pip-installable yt-dlp plugin with: ```bash pip install ``` ## Development ```bash make build # build binary make test # run tests make fmt # format code make vet # vet code make check # fmt + vet ```
