[SCRIPT] pyLoad Download Manager (with lightweight webserver, Click'n'Load, ...)

[josch]

Hey folks,

like here I want to give you another script for another download manager: pyLoad

Why another download manager?:

As it seems that "DownloadDaemon" doesn't sacrifice all users and a friend of mine asked me for
help setting up pyLoad, I decided to do the work only once and spread it with the world.

In the past I wasn't that happy with pyLoad because of the buggy client GUI and the damn slow
webinterface when running on RPi. But I did give it a new try and setted it up with the super fast
lightweight webserver called "bjoern" and deactivated the non-webinterface remote control.
Now it's running really well and there is no problem downloading and using the webinterface
even during the RPi is playing HD video files. Plus you get a lot of extras in comparison to DD,
like Click'n'Load, a bunch of auto updating plugins an so on....

I won't say more about pyLoad, just check: http://pyload.org/


What the script does:

• installing all needed dependencies for the whole installing process
• installing lightweight webserver "bjoern" via pip (https://github.com/jonashaag/bjoern)
• installing package for automatic rar archives extraction
• installing package for Click'n'Load
• installing packages for captcha recognition
• installing pyLoad v0.4.9
• calling pyLoad configuration as user "xbian"
• fixing pyLoad source to work with ALL Click'n'Load buttons
• modifying pyLoad startscript (init.d) to work as expected and to run pyLoad as user "xbian"
• adding pyLoad to xbian-config service manager, so that you can start/autostart the service via xbian-config
• optional removing all dependencies afterwards that were needed during installation
  

How to install:

  xbian_installPyLoad.zip (Size: 1.62 KB / Downloads: 345)

Download xbian_installPyLoad.zip and unpack it on to your Raspberry with Xbian running.
Make sure that your RPi is connected to the internet, as the script needs to download some packages/files.

Then run following commands via shell in the same dir where the script file is:

Terminal

chmod +x xbian_installPyLoad.sh
sudo ./xbian_installPyLoad.sh

Thats it, the script will start to guide you through the install process. If you have questions, just ask.


How to use:

Start or autostart the 'pyload' service via xbian-config. Afterwards you can just visit http://<your RPi's IP>:8000
and use your pyLoad download manager. If you've changed the standard port (8000), you have to modify the address
of course. After the first start you may have to restart pyLoad to complete a lot of plugin updates. But there will be
a notice in the webinterface and you can do the restart via the webinterface too.

If you want to make use of the Click'n'Load feature, you have to fordward the specific port (9666) to the webinterface.
So, just forward: 127.0.0.1:9666 to <your RPi's IP>:8000

For windows users here are two small batch files. One will setup the port forward, the other one will revert this.
At first you have to edit pyLoad_portforward.bat with your texteditor and place in your RPi's IP! Then run it as admin.
The port forward will stay even after rebooting until you run the pyLoad_portforward-undo.bat.

Have fun!
