Manual Install

cd aniwrapper
chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.sh
sudo make install

Using Aniwrapper⌗

By default, running the program will launch the aniwrapper main menu with rofi enabled, the default theme, and video quality set to ‘best’

From there, you are presented with the different options. I will talk about the four that I feel are most important: Stream, Download, Play From File, and Choose Theme

Streaming/Downloading⌗

Streaming and downloading both largely follow the same internal logic and utilize the same menus, with the only difference being the the download at the end

The quality selection menu will be automatically enabled when downloading. To enable quality selection for streaming, pass the -q flag when running aniwrapper

The first menu prompts you to enter the name of an anime to search for, or to select a previously watched anime from the list

anime selection menu — Anime Query/Selection

If you are having trouble forming a search query that does not trigger a selection from the menu, append a space and a dash to the end of the query string: Ex. isekai isekai -

If you selected a previously watched anime from the list, you will move on to the episode selection for that anime

Otherwise, if you provide a search query that does not trigger a selection from the menu, you will be presented with a second menu with the search results

Searching for an anime

After providing a unique search query, you’ll be presented with the search results. Items highlighted in blue indicate it has been searched before

Select the desired anime from the list and you’ll be presented with the episode selection menu

Not too much to say here

The blue highlighting indicates the episode has been watched or downloaded already

episode selection menu — Episode Selection Menu

If downloading, you can provide a range of episode to download as two space separated integers: Ex. 1 10

Profit⌗

With that, if in streaming mode, the episode should open in mpv, and the terminal menu will appear

If downloading, the download progress will be displayed on screen and a notification will be displayed once complete

Play From File⌗

This option is intended to be used to easily find and open your downloaded anime in mpv

The searching function is implemented as a simple, interactive, and recursive file browser for your video files

After selecting the option from the main menu, you’ll be prompted to provide the path to the directory where the search function will begin

play from file menu — Play From File Menu

The search function ignores any file that is not a directory or does not have a .mp4, .mkv, .ts, etc file extension

Select the desired directory or video file to continue searching or open the file in mpv

select a directory — Items highlighted in blue have been selected before

select an episode — Once a video file is found and selected it will be opened in mpv

Choose Theme⌗

You can change the theme from the main menu, by selecting the “Choose Theme” option and selecting the desired theme, or by running aniwrapper -t <theme_name>
