# Xiaoyuzhou Audio Download

## Overview

Use the bundled script when the user asks to download a Xiaoyuzhou podcast episode in natural language, even if they do not explicitly say audio or `.m4a`. Fetch the episode page, extract the first `.m4a` URL from the HTML or embedded JSON, normalize escaped ampersands, and download the audio file.

## Workflow

1. Run `scripts/download_xiaoyuzhou_audio.py` with the episode URL.
2. Save into the user's current working directory unless they ask for another folder.
3. Prefer a readable filename from the page title. Fall back to the episode id.
4. After download, verify file size and type with `ls -lh` and `file`.
5. Report the absolute path to the downloaded `.m4a` file.

## Commands

Download directly:

```bash
python3 /Users/gai/.codex/skills/xiaoyuzhou-download/scripts/download_xiaoyuzhou_audio.py \
  'https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/episode/...'
```

Download to a specific directory:

```bash
python3 /Users/gai/.codex/skills/xiaoyuzhou-download/scripts/download_xiaoyuzhou_audio.py \
  'https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/episode/...' \
  --output-dir /path/to/output
```

Only extract the audio URL:

```bash
python3 /Users/gai/.codex/skills/xiaoyuzhou-download/scripts/download_xiaoyuzhou_audio.py \
  'https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/episode/...' \
  --dry-run
```

## Notes

The audio URL usually appears in the server returned page source as a `.m4a` URL. It may be HTML escaped as `&` or JSON escaped as `\u0026`. The script handles both forms.

If the script cannot find a `.m4a` URL, fetch the page manually with `curl -L` and inspect whether Xiaoyuzhou changed the page structure or requires browser rendering.
