history

Project history and usage

svtplay-dl is a small command-line program for downloading videos from streaming sites, especially Nordic public and commercial streaming services. In package-manager culture it fills the familiar role of a specialized downloader that users want as a fresh CLI binary because supported sites change over time.

Project history

The upstream repository describes svtplay-dl as a small command-line program to download videos from some streaming sites. GitHub repository metadata records spaam/svtplay-dl as created on 2011-03-01, and the official site footer credits copyright from 2011 through 2025.

Adoption history

The official README documents Homebrew installation on macOS, Debian and Ubuntu packages, the project's own APT repository, Solus packaging, Windows binaries, pip installation, and a generic Unix curl install. The input package-manager facts additionally list Homebrew, Debian, Nix, Scoop, Ubuntu, and winget, showing cross-platform packaging around the CLI.

How it is used

The normal workflow is `svtplay-dl [options] URL`. The official usage page shows downloading one video, downloading subtitles, downloading all episodes, listing available qualities, choosing protocols such as DASH or HLS, and remuxing with FFmpeg. The config page documents YAML configuration and per-service settings.

Why package nerds care

svtplay-dl matters to package nerds because streaming-site downloaders are operationally sensitive: a stale package can break when a provider changes its site, while a fresh package can restore a simple scripted workflow. Its distribution through Homebrew, apt, pip, Windows package managers, and direct binaries makes it a good example of a niche media CLI with broad packaging pressure.
