Porn Fetch V3

[EchterAlsFake]

3.0

Entire rewrite of Porn Fetch, the CLI, the Android App and the HQPorner API.

Read this before installing

I just wanted to say thanks, to all the people which are using this Project. We are now at 3k downloads and I never expected this.
Thank you so much!

Note: 32 bit support is experimental and not well tested!

FOR ANDROID USERS

Downloaded Videos will be in your Downloads directory ( /storage/emulated/0/Download/ )

Porn Fetch Android is now based on PySide6 and has almost all features which the Desktop version has.

You CAN NOT use the threaded download mode and FFMPEG. Android has some issues with this, I'll try to fix them.
The QFileDialog doesn't work. DO NOT try to apply a new output path. The app will just crash!

Porn Fetch does only work for aarch64 (armv8) This is not an issue from me, but from Qt. Sorry.

I tested Porn Fetch on Android 12 and 13.
