Originally created by @pirate on GitHub (Nov 2, 2017).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/48

First draft should support:

  • youtube
  • vimeo
  • soundcloud
  • bandcamp
  • hypemachine
  • spotify?

Output should be the highest quality available by default, although we could also add config options: VIDEO_QUALITY=1080p AUDIO_QUALITY=320kbps.
Output should be put into the archive folder under:

  • audio/artist - title.mp3
  • video/uploader - title.mp3

Any downloaded files should also be linked to from the link index.html.

@pirate commented on GitHub (Jan 11, 2019):

This is working now in 7418996 under the optional flag env FETCH_MEDIA=True ./archive.

You can also customize a longer timeout for media archiving, e.g. env FETCH_MEDIA=True MEDIA_TIMEOUT=12000 ./archive.
