Installation

pip install lparchive2epub

Known limitations

• Similar images present in multiple pages in the let's play are duplicated, bloating the file. Though recurring images are usually smileys, so not too big. Now handled!
• Links to images are not properly saved.
• LPs that are mostly link to YouTube videos are not very interesting to transform to epub
• Some LPs completely fail to be downloaded.
