[APP] Music Video Downloader (1 Viewer)

[catavolt]

I´d like to have at least one thing changed:
If you start MVD, it just minimizes to tray - so you have to open it a second time from there to show the program GUI on the screen.
Would be better to open it directly on the screen, and when you´re downloading, you may minimize it

I recently added that feature, but yeah I will probably take it away, the was you could have MVD autostarting with windows. What I might do is:

If AutoStartDLBulkVideoInList = true then minimize, else maximize.

Added support for similar artist branching

So you can add scan your X top artists in your library, which will reveal Y similar artists. Then it will check videos for X*Y artists. Can end up with a lot of videos if for example you add the top 100 artists in your library then check for 20 similar artists = 2,000 potential artists. (Although most end up being duplicates).

PS. the text is wrong it should say similar.

Got to test this application after the vacation, looks great.

Pitchfork lists a bunch of videos, A-Z of artists: http://pitchfork.com/tv/musicvideos/?q=&t=artist

^ Nice I can definite add pitchfork support.

Will either just be a button you press and it adds everything on pitchfork to the DL list. or when you add videos using the other buttons it will search pitchfork as well (currently it only uses theaudiodb.com for video links)

I will add vimeo channel bulk download feature
choose a channel and add everything in that channel to the download list.

is Pitchfork youtube links only?
does Pitchfork always have Artist - Title, or do they sometimes have bad naming?

I've do not regularly use pitchfork videos, but I have noticed some Vimeo links. Naming: have not noticed any strange stuff.

ok that is good to know. since they use more than one site I'll have to check the url for each video. I can DL from both vimeo and youtube.

Updated to version 9
GUI Improved for adding videos to download list.
Added options to modify the DL List (Clear/Reset/Retry).
Added options for Similar artists and top artists.
Improved handling of Simultaneous DLs
Added cancel buttons for creating the DL lists
Option to start minimized.

Installation:
Just overwrite the previous files with the ones in the .zip file
You will not loose any settings etc..

The program is stable enough and feature rich enough that I will stop doing frequent updates.
(unless someone finds some bugs not counting spelling mistakes ;-p)

Had a really good look through all the htmls and couldn't figure out how to find the youtube IDs or URLs from the source code. If your good with javascript you might have better luck. If I can find out where they are I can add support for the site.

Otherwise I might just use their youtube channel
http://www.youtube.com/user/pitchforktv/videos

Then only download files that are
"Artist" - "Title" (official * video)
then strip any quotes and add to DL list

Just had a quick look at the html source, this is how I think it works:

Each displayed video is a list item, with code like this:

<li class="archivevideo">
  <a href="/tv/musicvideos/788-must-be-the-moon/">
	<div class="artwork"> ... </div>
	<div class="info"> ... </div>
  </a>
</li>

Once you click on it an overlay is loaded, with the content of

http://pitchfork.com/ + [href-link] + "/ajax/"

So, e.g. for Adele - Hometown Glory:
- link for the website with video inside an overlay: http://pitchfork.com/tv/musicvideos/747-hometown-glory/
- link for the content of the overlay itself: http://pitchfork.com/tv/musicvideos/747-hometown-glory/ajax/

I guess from there on you can extract the video ids for vimeo and yt yourself, right?
