This is a simple Command-Line tool that allows you to download media from EgyBest. You can also use this tool to stream media directly without downloading it using the power of the --stdout flag.

This project depends on the PyEgyBest Library that provides a selenium-less solution to interact with EgyBest

Tested on Python versions >= 3.6

Play The Fifth Episode of the Fourth Season of The Show "Mr. Robot" Directly in The MPV Video Player

mpv $(egybest-cli --title "Mr. Robot" -S 4 -E 5 --stdout)

There is a single config file which is ~/.config/egybest/egybest-conf.json

{
	"mirror": "https://egy.best",

	"quality": {
		"2160": 1,
		"1080": 2,
		"720":  3,
		"480":  4,
		"360":  5,
		"240":  6
	}
}

Lower Number = Higher Priority

It's set to pick the highest quality available by default.

You can set it to a specific EgyBest instance, but these go up and down all the time, the default "mirror" is https://egy.best, which is not actually a mirror, it's just a load balancer that redirects you to a working instance.
