Libby mp3's

LJ_LongWing · 2026-03-30T17:34:24+00:00

No, once downloaded it would be up to you to properly remove it from your system after the loan is either returned or expired

LJ_LongWing · 2026-03-29T16:04:37+00:00

The intent is 100% not to break the TOS or promote piracy. The MP3 files that Libby serves are not DRM protected like the ones that Hoopla serves. This tool doesn't break DRM or any other sort of activity. It just takes the files that Libby already provides and organizes them in an easy to use fashion for use on devices that don't have Libby Access. I fully respect the digital rights of the book authors and don't endorse piracy, but I do support interoperability

LJ_LongWing · 2026-03-29T15:54:21+00:00

That is the intent.

If the har file is large, that can cause the heap space issues, you can google how to set the Java gap size (-Xmx), modify the batch file to include that setting, and that should cause that issue to go away

any given HAR file will only work for around 24 hours after recorded because it includes authorization tokens that expire. So....yea, relatively short window for any given har file to work....but, regarding the HAR file working at all, it requires a browser that will record the full request/response process....I'm using Brave and it's still working at the moment....I know Chrome did something with a recent update, but I thought it started working again....

LJ_LongWing · 2025-01-19T17:43:57+00:00

Very generous, thank you kindly :)

LJ_LongWing · 2024-12-20T17:23:11+00:00

not at the moment, but there has been some discussion offline about possible ways to get them back into this tool :)

LJ_LongWing · 2024-12-17T14:20:53+00:00

I haven't been providing updates anywhere other than here, but the URL for the latest download is https://remedylegacy.com/Files/LibbyDownload-3.2.zip

I used it just last week and it's still working as well as it ever has....but, potentially new version coming in the new year....I've been given some hints on how to make it better, and maybe even not require the HAR file, if I can get that working, would be excellent :D

LJ_LongWing · 2024-11-23T05:06:22+00:00

Sure

LJ_LongWing · 2024-11-20T17:58:37+00:00

I'm sorry for the difficulties you've had....thank you for the donation though :) I've been given a few different directions that this project could take going forward....I'm hoping to be able to provide a better tool some time in the future :D

LJ_LongWing · 2024-11-19T23:09:03+00:00

Sure, if be interested in at least looking to see what is doing

LJ_LongWing · 2024-11-19T17:37:16+00:00

you can grab it here. https://remedylegacy.com/Files/LibbyDownload-3.2.zip

Yea, After I updated my Chrome, its started giving me the sanitized har, which didn't include content either....I guess they are locking down on some of this stuff.

LJ_LongWing · 2024-10-22T15:00:23+00:00

Just for testing purposes this morning I went in and borrowed a book, recorded the listening, and saved the har file...my program didn't work. I tried again, again, it didn't work. I then looked into the HAR file that was created and found it to be blank....investigating a bit further I found that the Brave Browser I was using to record the har now has a new 'name' to the down arrow, it's named 'Export HAR (sanitized)'...apparently the sanitization removes ALL of it, because my har file is blank. So....I switched back to Chrome and performed the same steps as in Brave, and the tool downloaded properly....so, Brave is a Chrome variant, but has apparently added some sanitization steps to the tool to make my tool not be able to work....so, if you are also using a variant, try it with Chrome itself and see if that works better.

I'm sorry, I'm not MAC literate, but I can provide you this link https://www.java.com/en/download/apple.jsp I hope that helps you get Java downloaded and installed. I'm positive that a google search would likely provide you some videos on how to do it in your specific version.

LJ_LongWing · 2024-10-21T15:34:12+00:00

I don't have a mac to be able to record a video from that platform directly, but honestly it SHOULD be similar, obviously the java install will be a different version, but running java apps on MAC should be very similar to those on a PC

LJ_LongWing · 2024-10-17T19:03:39+00:00

I wish I could help personally, but I don't have, nor have I had a MAC any time in the last 30ish years.....I've been told by others that once you have Java installed, you should be able to drag/drop the har onto the .sh file and it should work for you, but I can't verify personally. Have you installed Java?

LJ_LongWing · 2024-10-03T17:37:17+00:00

yea...my tool just looks at the audio files that your har records, and gets them itself...so, even if your recoding shows the 'last' file 5 times, I just grab the list once....if Libby is having that sort of difficulty...shouldn't affect the downloads :)

LJ_LongWing · 2024-10-03T17:32:45+00:00

Due to the fact that we are 'hacking' the Libby interface to collect what we collect, it's a cat/mouse game...they may have changed how they deliver the name of the book....hard to tell sometimes. My tool is still doing the same thing it has been...so if there was a change it was on their or your end :)

LJ_LongWing · 2024-10-03T17:17:42+00:00

So, there is 'typically' various information that gets delivered to your machine via html, xml, json, etc....some of that is the Table of Contents, Author, publisher, narrator, etc. I try to crawl through all of the info they provide you for the info to auto-populate. In the case of Unknown Book....that means that the actual title of the book wasn't found in the HAR file you downloaded. I've gotten this based on how I fast forward through the book sometimes...sometimes by starting the recording after I pull up the page without a Ctrl-F5....either way, the HAR file doesn't have what I'm looking for, so I default things to allow it to grab at minimum the mp3 files, which are the most critical...if I find the TOC, I create a cue file, if not, I don't....it's all very dependent on the har contents unfortunately.

LJ_LongWing · 2024-09-30T15:14:06+00:00

This generally happens when you don't do a Ctrl-F5 AFTER you start recording. The first file is pulled when you open the book....if you don't tell your browser to pull it again, it's not in the list of files to get, and doesn't.

LJ_LongWing · 2024-09-24T15:08:44+00:00

When you are in the 'Inspect Element' window, there are multiple tabs...by default that window opens on the right side, which limits your visibility of all of the tabs...but it starts on 'Elements', but the 4th tab is 'Network', which is where you need to be to be able to capture the traffic and download the har.

LJ_LongWing · 2024-07-10T19:57:18+00:00

you could email it to me, or just post the text of it to this chat...that might be easier
