BBDown CLI

Quick start (data/ output, prefer 720p)

  • Prefer running from the repo root so data/ exists.
  • List available streams and the exact 720p label:
  • BBDown --only-show-info <url>
  • Download to data/ with 720p preference (use the label you saw above):
  • BBDown --work-dir data -q "<720p label>" <url>
  • If you are unsure about labels, use interactive selection:
  • BBDown --work-dir data -ia <url>

Install or update (Linux/macOS)

  • Install via .NET global tool:
  • dotnet tool install --global BBDown
  • Update:
  • dotnet tool update --global BBDown
  • Alternative: download a release binary and add it to PATH.

Dependencies

  • Install ffmpeg or mp4box for muxing.
  • For Dolby Vision muxing, use ffmpeg 5.0+ or a recent mp4box.
  • Optional: install aria2c if you plan to use -aria2.

Auth and cookies

  • Web QR login:
  • BBDown login
  • TV QR login:
  • BBDown logintv
  • Use a web cookie string when needed:
  • BBDown -c "SESSDATA=..." <url>
  • Use TV/APP access token:
  • BBDown -tv -token "..." <url>

Common download workflow

  • Basic download:
  • BBDown --work-dir data <url>
  • Prefer 720p and hide extra streams for cleaner output:
  • BBDown --work-dir data -q "<720p label>" -hs <url>
  • For multi-part videos, select pages:
  • BBDown --work-dir data -p 1,3,5 <url>

Troubleshooting

  • If muxing fails, verify ffmpeg/mp4box availability or pass explicit paths:
  • BBDown --ffmpeg-path <path> --work-dir data <url>
  • If member-only content fails, retry with -c cookie (web) or -token (TV/APP).
