SouthPark Downloader
A small C# application to download all episodes from southpark.de using ffmpeg and youtube-dl. Feel free to kep the index up-to-date by creating a pull-request.
Important
This software is just a fancy wrapper around YouTubeDL and FFMPEG specifically created to download episoded from SouthPark.de, correctly sort the part files, stitch them together losslessly and then create a final episode file with the correct media tags and filename.
This software does depend on the functionality of YouTubeDL and FFMPEG, YouTubeDL can break anytime due to it's nature in being dependet itself on the site you are trying to download from i.e. if SouthPark.de changes YouTubeDL can be incompatible. For these situations you might want to use the YouTubeDL Community Fork, a fork that incorporates fixes for YouTubeDL much faster. You can add the parameter ytdlc to the startup of SouthParkDL in order to use YouTubeDL Community instead of the official version on Windows. For other platforms, please follow the installation notes (just replace youtube-dl with youtube-dlc).

Most of the time the download command will be enough as it will download the episode parts
and merge the resulting video files during process for you.
If you encounter any issues while downloading / merging an episode the programm should continue fine. You can
run the command download again to redownload incomplete episodes or process to merge unmerged parts.
If you don't encounter any bugs there is no need to update the software every time you use it, you should definitely if you are going for a full download.
