Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

evdh : EisF Video Download Helper

author sceext [email protected] 2009EisF2015, 2015.02 copyright 2015 sceext All rights reserved.

evdh is used to AUTO download videos on webpages (such as youku) with the analyse service provided by flv.cn (Download evdh) (Features of evdh) (test info)

flv.cn can analyse the URL of video playing web pages, and give the URLs of video files to download. (for example: videos of Youku can be downloaded by this way) But when it comes to videos cut in several parts, it can be painful to download each part of video files one by one by hand.

evdh can auto download all parts of video files, and auto merge them. With the "task_list" mode, evdh can even auto download many videos. With evdh, it will be much easier to download videos.

This is the npm version of evdh. (public npm version) branch version-npm

NOTE: The current evdh npm version is NOT ready to be used by other npm modules! It is just a tool used by human to auto download videos.

  • AUTO download all part video files, and AUTO create the file name to save

  • AUTO merge part video files evdh uses ffmpeg to AUTO merge part video files. There it merges videos without re-encoding. So it is very fast, and willnot hurt quality of video.

  • [NEW] AUTO download many videos In "task_list" mode, evdh can AUTO download many videos. For example, write many URLs of video playing pages in the url.list file, each in a line. Then use the command $ ./evdh.sh --list-file url.list to AUTO download every videos in this list file.

  • Continue the task not finished last time evdh has log file, supports resuming HTTP download, can continue to do the unfinished task last time when start.

  • [NEW] AUTO mode and Interactive mode evdh has 2 kinds of modes, AUTO mode and Interactive mode. Use the command $ ./evdh.sh to start evdh in interactive mode. The usage of AUTO mode, please use $ ./evdh.sh --help to show it.

  • [NEW] AUTO retry after download failed In "task_list" mode, if a download failed, evdh will AUTO retry to download. Default retry times is 4.

  • AUTO select video Many videos can be got after analysing only one URL, with different video quality. evdh can AUTO select one of them to download. First, evdh will select video by the code of video quality (the "hd" number, which is provided by the analyse service of flv.cn), which can be set in config file.

    [NEW] Otherwise, in AUTO mode, evdh can AUTO select video by KEYWORDS. If there is more than one video selected with the hd number, in Interactive mode, evdh will ask user to select one. But in AUTO mode, evdh will not ask user, and AUTO select videos with keywords in the "quality string". (the "quality string" is provided by the analyse service of flv.cn) Keywords is writen in config file.

  • Show download status and speed When downloading videos, evdh will show the information such as finished bytes, download speed.

  • Multi-thread download Each part video file downloads with single thread, but many file can be downloaded at the same time. So it is multi-thread download on the whole. Default number of thread is 2, which can be changed in config file.

  • Download memory buffer Default size is 2MB (each file), which can be changed in config file. This is used to protect hard disk, to prevent write too often.

  • Config file evdh has its own config file. token is stored in another file, which can help to protect the private token.

About sceext and 2009EisF2015

sceext is my pen name. sceext reads as s-c-e-e-x-t. sceext has no meaning, but only I use sceext on the Internet. (There is hardly no conflicts.)

EisF is the mark that I add to my programs.

EisF means EisF is EisF. EisF is a forked recursive acronym. (Just like GNU = GNU's Not Unix) EisF = EisF is EisF ([E]isF [is] Eis[F])

2009EisF2015 means that the mark EisF has been used from year 2009 to now (year 2015).
