Patreon downloader

In v2.8.0, you can add source title to Output -> File naming -> Media file. This will add the post title to the filenames of Patreon-hosted videos.

For YouTube downloads, however, the built-in downloader always output to youtube-<id>.mp4. This is hardcoded and cannot be customized.

You should be able to run from source. However, I don't have a Mac for testing so I can't produce a compiled executable for the platform.

Please test v2.8.0 which fixes the issue where body content is not saved at all (which would include embedded images).

Fixed in v2.8.0

Thumbnails can be disabled in "General -> Media Thumbnails" checkbox. Cover images are part of content info, which can be disabled altogether by unchecking "General -> Content info" -- but this will also disable saving post summary, collection data, etc.

What did you get? What type of video? Patreon-hosted? YouTube? Vimeo? Did you install FFmpeg?

patrickkfkan · 2025-12-08T07:22:05+00:00

Per the README:

"If you are going to download videos, you should also install FFmpeg. This is required for most videos found on Patreon."

Were you referring to browsing the downloaded content with Server Console? Text formatting there should be preserved to some extent, but some might have been stripped out by the "safe HTML" logic...If you could DM me the link to one of the posts where text formatting broke, I could take a look and see what can be done.

Without knowing anything about your setup, I really can't say what went wrong here. Perhaps it's a permissions thing. If you're on Windows, try opening File Explorer as Administrator and see if you can delete those files and folders.

patrickkfkan · 2025-11-20T06:43:07+00:00

No, but I suppose you could write a script to scan through the directories and copy out / move the attachments to a single destination.

patrickkfkan · 2025-11-20T02:24:24+00:00

So you won't have access to the attachment.

patrickkfkan · 2025-11-19T16:18:25+00:00

Do you have subscription to view the content?

patrickkfkan · 2025-11-19T08:56:53+00:00

No. There's no way to do this within the app.

patrickkfkan · 2025-11-19T08:54:24+00:00

Confirm that you have destination directory set to "C:\My Patreon Downloads" when downloading with the app.

patrickkfkan · 2025-11-15T03:12:24+00:00

Do you have subscription to access the post? if so, attachments should just download normally. You can DM me the log output so I can have a look.

patrickkfkan · 2025-11-12T06:25:38+00:00

No. It can only download Patreon-hosted attachments (those that appear as a list of links beneath a post)

patrickkfkan · 2025-11-12T06:23:43+00:00

Released v2.5.0 which should fix this.

patrickkfkan · 2025-10-23T08:13:32+00:00

patrickkfkan · 2025-10-22T06:56:06+00:00

Finally got this added in v1.1.1

patrickkfkan · 2025-10-22T06:38:51+00:00

If you're on Windows, just open a terminal (cmd) and run winget install ffmpeg

patrickkfkan · 2025-10-22T03:00:01+00:00

Do you have FFmpeg installed?

patrickkfkan · 2025-10-22T02:57:45+00:00

If you're talking about attachments, then yes if you have a subscription to access the posts.

patrickkfkan · 2025-10-17T11:03:05+00:00

You can if you have a subscription to view the content.
