Terminal application for grabbing latest videos

I made a little Go terminal application for fetching all the latest GB videos and storing them locally. Might be useful if you have a media server and want all the videos to be available offline, or just locally on your PC. I used this more as an opportunity to learn some Go and its concurrency paradigms, and have open sourced the code, so check it out if you're interested.

Limited scope right now, but it can resume downloads, and you can configure maximum concurrency. I set up a GitHub action to compile binaries for MacOS, Linux, and Windows for each release.

Cool, thanks for sharing.

Suggestion for improvement that it could be cool with a feature filter option for video_show like "Mass Alex"?

Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, it would be totally possible to do that. I guess if there are only a few shows you're interested in, it would make sense as a config option. You'd need to update it as shows end and new ones come along, however, which is why I mainly thought of it as a "get everything and I'll sort it out later" kind of thing.

My personal use case is maybe a strange one.

@thesquarepear: Latest version includes a `filter` option, which just passes the provided string as a `filter=` to the API URL.

In your example you could then invoke with `--filter=video_show:39` to only fetch Mass Alex.

@tigerdx: Thanks! That's awesome. I'm gonna check it out later.

I have no experience of programming in Go but I ended up tweaking the URL to use "low_url" as default because I have a crappy internet connection rate :)

GB really don't skimp on their video bitrates.

I guess it's never too late to learn a new language so I might need to get on that.

Neat tool @tigerdx, nice work!

I found a small issue and put in a quick PR, hope it helps. :)

@thesquarepear: Ah yeah sorry, my bad. I should have an option for quality in there.

Glad to see you were able to change the source to suit your use case.

@jondan: That's great, thanks for the PR!

In case anyone else is using this to grab shows I'm posting the id's for some highlighted shows.

I upgraded my internet recently but I'm a little disappointed CBSi's servers aren't faster (averaging about 18 Mbps). However that just makes this tool even more useful since I can leave it running overnight so I'm really glad you made it.
