## Installation:
1. Install Python (check 'Add to PATH' if on Windows)
2. Clone main branch or download latest version from [Releases](https://github.com/stabbedbybrick/freevine/releases)
3. Place required tools inside Freevine folder OR add them to system PATH (recommended)
4. Create `/utils/wvd/` folder and place either .wvd file or private_key and client_id blob inside
5. Install necessary packages: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
> [!TIP]
> Clone the main branch to always stay up to date:
>
> ```git clone https://github.com/stabbedbybrick/freevine.git freevine```
## Common issues:
> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ...
You haven't installed the necessary packages. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`
> "Required key and client ID not found"
Content is encrypted and a decryption module is needed. This is up to the user and not provided by this project.
> ConnectionError: 400/403/404
You're most likely being geo blocked by the service. Use a VPN or try the proxy option.
## Credentials:
A user profile with credentials can be set for services that require it:
```python
freevine.py profile --username "USERNAME" --password "PASSWORD" --service "SERVICE"
```
> [!NOTE]
>Setting a user profile will create a profile.yaml in the service folder that'll store credentials along with cached auth and refresh tokens
If a service requires cookies, you can use a browser extension to download cookies as .txt file format:
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/export-cookies-txt
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gdocmgbfkjnnpapoeobnolbbkoibbcif
Name it `cookies.txt` and place it in service folder
## Proxies:
When using the `--proxy` option, you can either provide one or request a proxy using country codes (US, UK, SE etc.).
In order to request proxies, [hola-proxy](https://github.com/Snawoot/hola-proxy) and/or [windscribe-proxy](https://github.com/Snawoot/windscribe-proxy) is required. Download the exectutable from the releases page and rename it to "hola-proxy" or "windscribe-proxy". Place it in the same location as the other required tools. System PATH is recommended. Make sure to specify which proxy you want to use in the config file.
freevine.py --proxy US
freevine.py --proxy "01.234.56.789:10"
> [!NOTE]
>The proxy only affects API and license requests, not downloads
