RoboHarmon

The ultimate Harmontown mass-downloader. No double-downloads, date filter, audio and/or video, safe password handling, flexible output dir, and absolutely no third-act problems whatsoever.

Install

Mac / Windows: Download the appropriate release at https://gitlab.com/toyg/gogoharmon/-/releases

For Linux: use https://gitlab.com/toyg/roboharmon instead, or build this from source.

Unzip the release, open a command prompt, and cd to the folder where Roboharmon.exe is - e.g.:

cd /d c:\Users\your_user\Desktop\roboharmon

Usage

By default, RoboHarmon will try to download all videos available. You can also specify to download the audio version only, or both.

RoboHarmon will not download the same file twice, unless it was not fully downloaded. You can rename files at any point, they will not be redownloaded.

You can reduce the date range and specify an output folder. Download progress will be saved in the output folder itself, so you can move it around and restart your downloads without any issue.

Downloading videos requires a subscription to Harmontown (it's cheapy-peepy!). Your password will be safely stored in your operating-system secure facility.

To stop roboharmon at any point, use Ctrl-C.

Command syntax:

roboharmon [--audio | --video | --all] [--user <username>] [--from <from_date>]

Options:
    --audio     Audio only (the podcast)

                This is the default.

                This is done sequentially (all videos first).

                            you will be challenged for it.

                            Date format is YYYY-MM-DD.

                            roborharmon --from 2017-01-01
    --to <from_date>        Only download episodes published before this date.
                            Date format is YYYY-MM-DD.
                            E.g. to download episodes up to 2016 included:
                            roborharmon --to 2016-12-31
