jw-scripts's Introduction

JW scripts

These methods of acessing jw.org are, while legal, not officially supported by the organisation. Use them if you find it worth the time, pain and risk. But first, please take the time to read w18.04 30-31. Then consider buing a device which has official support for JW Broadcasting app. Like a Roku, Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV. It will give you a better and safer experience.

JW Broadcasting and sound recordings anywhere

With these scripts you can get the latest JW Broadcasting videos automatically downloaded to your Plex library. You can turn a computer (like a Raspberry Pi) into a JW TV, either by streaming directly, or by playing downloaded videos from your collection.

Get started

From time to time the master branch may have untested features. You may have better luck finding a "stable" version under the releases page.

Take a look at installation methods to get up and running.

For example, to download the latest videos in Swedish, you would run:

jwb-index --download --latest --lang=Z

Next, check out the Wiki pages for more examples and options.

Questions

Isn't there an easier way to watch JW Broadcasting in Kodi?

Yes, I'm keeping an add-on alive here.

Why is the video download so slow?

It seems to be realated to the --limit-rate flag (why?).

But please, somebody think of the servers! :-)

What happened to the script for Bible recordings?

Since all recordings can be easily downloaded from the website, and the script couldn't do more than one publication at a time I didn't see any practical use for it.

But checkout @vbastianpc's nice fork of it that can download sign language publications.

Is this legal?

Yes. The Terms of Service allows:

distribution of free, non-commercial applications designed to download electronic files (for example, EPUB, PDF, MP3, AAC, MOBI, and MP4 files) from public areas of this site.

I've also been in contact with the Scandinavian branch office, and they have confirmed that using software like this is legal according to the ToS.


If you have a feature request or have been bitten by a bug, please create an issue, and I'll see what I can do.
