you-can-datamosh

It's a script that makes datamoshing with Python fun and easy.

Hello, friends. If you have Python 3 and ffmpeg installed you can datamosh. I've only tested this on Linux so good luck chuck if you're using something else.

What's a datamosh?

Here's an example made by someone who wasn't me!

The mosh works out of the box but I left extensive notes in the program to help you use it and understand what's happening.

Good luck, friends!

Need videos to datamosh? Head over to Python's pip3 and install youtube-dl.

$ pip3 install youtube-dl # you may need to use sudo depending on your system.

After that downloading youtube videos is as simple as:

$ youtube-dl --format 18 [youtube video url] -o youtube_video.mp4

But wait, there's more: youtube-dl works with lots of other sites like vimeo and can grab most twitter videos. To discover if a site is supported try:

$ youtube-dl --list-formats [website url]

which will show a list of available formats for the video on the page.
