• I used #moviegods on and off for years without ever registering without problem (maybe they briefly required it when I wasn’t using them?)
• You need to register now to actually download even if you use #the.source.nospam. You can interact in the channel without registering, but as soon you try to message a bot to actually download you get the following automated message “You must identify to a registered nick to private message this user”
• skullxdcc.com seems to be made by the same person.

Nice list. Some additional information:

• You don’t need to register on abjects to download in ´#moviegods´.
• To download in irc://irc.scenep2p.net/THE.SOURCE you apperently now do need to register to download. This didn’t used to be the case.
• sunxdcc.com has been superseded by skullxdcc.com. Made by the same person as sun and on sunxdcc a popup even tells you to switch.
• irc://irc.rizon.net/nibl is a channel for anime downloads; no registration required. Can be searched via nibl.co.uk/search
• irc://irc.xertion.org:6667/MK is another channel for anime; this does now seem to require registration. Can be searched via xdcc.animk.info

You can just fork it and replace the image.

The authors talks about it here on their blog a bit more.

yt-dlp should still be the best option. When it comes to unsupported websites you usually need to add some options. Most of the time this is just --referer https://example.com/ with the website being the one this is hosted on.

There was a discussion about something similar some month ago here. Where I made a more detailed comment.

(You could DM me more details (like the catoon site and the cartoon you want to download) and I could look into it more closely.)

For content from streaming platforms like Netflix, the audio and video lines up most of the time. The dub might be a bit longer at the end, but that doesn’t matter; it’s only the credits.

For Blu-ray and DVDs, it’s a bigger problem. The audio and video lines don’t usually line up: different production company logos of different lengths and maybe minor regional differences. You could probably adjust the audio delay in the video player to get a decent experience.

mpv is good video player where it is easily possible to play the video from one file and the audio from another.
