The anime-downloader architecture is centered around a flexible, provider-based design, enabling broad support for various anime sources and video hosts. The User Interface (UI) serves as the entry point, directing user requests to the Application Core & State. This core component manages application logic, configuration, and watch list data, and orchestrates interactions with external services. For content discovery, the Application Core engages the Site Provider System, a collection of specialized modules for scraping data from specific anime websites. These providers, along with the Application Core itself (for metadata), rely heavily on the Network & Web Utilities for all web-based communications. Once a video source is identified, the Media Content Resolver extracts the direct media stream URL. Finally, the Media Playback & Download component handles the actual consumption of content, either by initiating downloads or launching external media players. This modular structure ensures clear separation of concerns, facilitating easy integration of new sites and video platforms.
