Accept URL as input

[arsaboo]

Instead of searching, I was wondering if we can add a feature to directly provide a URL. The search is not perfect.

[Liupold]

Yes, this would be great!

[arsaboo]

Since both -u and -l are taken, maybe we add another option -r (for resource) to provide the URL of the track/album.

[Liupold]

Or maybe we can detect the URL using regex. If the search is a valid URL then just download / use that.

[arsaboo]

Even better...love that. Would you take a look at implementing this? I looked at the code but am a little lost. I am assuming, we parse "prompt_input to check if it is a valid URL. Not sure which function to pass the URL to.

[Liupold]

Here is the variable which contains the initial search

fmdpy/fmdpy/__main__.py

Line 106 in 2eacc82

search = ' '.join(search)

I would suggest you hook url from there. BTW if you are willing to work with prompt I would suggest to rewrite. (It's Buggy at best).

Here is where the song object is created.
(You need to extract the song id somehow). [Look into jiosavan APIs available in github ]

fmdpy/fmdpy/api.py

Line 20 in 2eacc82

song_ = Song(songid=song_id,

Sorry, I have a lot of things going on now, will love to work on this ASAP. Can't promise a deadline though.

urls are now supported, try

fmdpy "YOUR URL HERE"

[Liupold]

Try it out and verify that it's working. I will fix the prompt before releasing. And Will implement the folder feature requested (no promises). @arsaboo

[Liupold]

Directory management is also added. (It wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be). Anyways do try them out. After that i will create a release.

This is great. Works very well. This is a much better way of doing things than what I was trying. Appreciate the cleanup as well. Closing the issue now...

Just for the record, Album URLs are also supported.
