This guidelines/tutorial will use the program called yuu that I made

ℹ️

Note

The command in all of the image are outdated, you need to add the keyword download after yuu on the latest version.

What you need:

  • Python 3.6+
  • FFMpeg (Optional)
  • Japan Proxy or VPN

Please install Python 3.6+ first, you can follow this tutorial: https://xo.tc/installing-python-36-on-windows.html

FFMPEG

  1. Download it from here: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-full.7z
  2. Extract the downloaded file, and copy the ffmpeg.exe from the bin folder to C:\Windows

Preparation

After you finish installing Python and downloading and extracting ffmpeg, open CMD or Powershell and use cd to move into another directory.

Another easy way is to SHIFT-Right Click on a folder, and click Open PowerShell window here or Open Command Prompt window here

Changing directory
Changing directory

Type pip install -U yuu then wait until it finish installing.

"pip install yuu -U"
"pip install yuu -U"

If there's an error like requests not found or something like that, manually install the dependencies by writing:

pip install requests[socks] tqdm pycryptodome m3u8

Then install yuu again.

After yuu is installed, start by typing yuu -h and make sure it show something like this:

"yuu -h"
"yuu -h"

Downloading

Now, activate a Japanese VPN or have a Proxy that you want to use.
If you use proxy, I recommend a HTTPS proxy or something like that.

$ yuu -h
Usage: yuu [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  A simple AbemaTV and other we(e)bsite video downloader
