Add Downloads Interface

The Add Downloads interface in the Crunchy-Downloader program allows users to add new anime episodes to their download queue by entering a series, episode, or artist path. You can also search for series (explained further below).

URL Entry and Series Selection

  • URL Input Field: Located at the top of the page.
    • A full URL is not required. It is enough to enter just the path:
      • /series/<series-id>
      • /watch/<episode-id>
      • /artist/<artist-id>
    • If the path or URL contains a locale (e.g., /fr/artist/...), that locale will be used for the episode title and description.
    • If no locale is included, the history language setting determines the language of the title/description.
  • Add Episodes to Queue Button: Adds the selected episodes to the download queue after entering the path or URL.
  • All Checkbox: If selected, all episodes of the series are added to the queue when pressing the Add Episodes to Queue button.
  • Select Season: Quickly select or deselect all episodes of the currently displayed season.
  • Season Selector: Dropdown menu to choose which season of the series to display episodes from.

Episode List

The episode list allows selecting which episodes should be added to the download queue.

Each entry in the list includes:

  • Thumbnail: Image representing the anime episode.
  • Title and Episode Number: Example: "S1E1 Cruelty".
  • Description: Short summary of the episode.
  • Duration: Runtime of the episode (e.g., 23:40).
  • Available Dubs: A list of supported audio languages for the episode (e.g., ja-JP, de-DE, fr-FR, ru-RU).

The search functionality allows users to find series by entering a search term. This can be particularly useful if you do not have the URL at hand.

⚠️ Note: The search is specifically limited to series only. It does not return results for individual episodes, movies, artists, or music videos.

  1. Enable Search: To begin searching, you need to enable the search functionality by selecting the search checkbox. Add_Downloads_Search_Enabled

  2. Enter Search Term: After enabling the search, enter the name or keywords of the series you want to find in the text field above the checkbox.

  3. View Search Results: The search results will be displayed below the input field, where you can browse through the series that match your search criteria. Add_Downloads_Search_Results

  4. Select a Series: From the search results, select the series you are interested in. This will enable you to add episodes from the selected series to your download queue.
