yt-dlp-danmaku

yt-dlp plugin for converting Bilibili danmaku into ASS format. Powered by biliass.

Installation and upgrading

Requires yt-dlp 2023.01.02 or above.

You can install or upgrade this package with pip:

pip install -U yt-dlp-danmaku

Usage

Download video along with the ASS subtitle

yt-dlp --write-subs --use-postprocessor danmaku https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Sm4y1N78J

Download video embedded with danmaku as a subtitle stream

Bilibili videos are originally mp4 format, but this format does not support ASS subtitle. Therefore, you need to use another format that supports it, such as mkv:

yt-dlp --embed-subs --use-postprocessor danmaku --remux-video mkv https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Sm4y1N78J

You can then try playing this video with players that support ASS subtitles, such as mpv and VLC.

Download video and "burn" the danmaku onto it

You need to run FFmpeg yourself to do this. Here is an example how you can do that:

yt-dlp --write-subs --use-postprocessor danmaku --output input https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Sm4y1N78J
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf subtitles=input.danmaku.ass output.mp4
rm input.mp4 input.danmaku.ass

Get ASS subtitle without downloading the video

yt-dlp --write-subs --use-postprocessor danmaku:when=before_dl --skip-download https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Sm4y1N78J

Use with mpv

mpv --script-opts=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=yt-dlp --ytdl-raw-options=use-postprocessor=danmaku:when=before_dl,write-subs=,no-simulate=,skip-download= https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Sm4y1N78J

You can turn on and off danmaku by using j (by default). Add --sid=1 to turn on danmaku on start. You can add these options to your mpv config file.

Notice: this will leave an ASS file in the current directory. Delete it afterwards if you do not want it.

Configuration

You can pass options to this plugin. For example, to set the opacity of danmaku texts to 0.1 and reserve the bottom 150 pixels, use --use-postprocessor danmaku:text_opacity=0.1;reserve_blank=150. All available options:

Option Default Meaning
lang danmaku Language selector; you do not normally need to set this
reserve_blank 0
font_face sans-serif
font_size 25
text_opacity 0.8
duration_marquee 15
duration_still 10
comment_filter
is_reduce_comments false

Run biliass -h for more information about these options.
