The module detection code is buggy, so delete it and install the dependencies manually.
-open crunchy-xml-decoder\functtest.py
-Note: It is possible to put a # at the start of the line to comment out an entire line.
-Eelete or comment out(#) the "Installing Cfscrape" section

The mkvmerge code is not very robust, so delete\comment the "cleanup" section as well.
-Open ultimate.py and go to the section that says: print 'Starting Final Cleanup'

install the dependencies:
Install node https://nodejs.org/en/download/
-python -m pip install --upgrade pip
-pip install cfscrape
-pip install m3u8
-pip install wget
-go to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/3.2.5 ->"Download" + install

Create a crunchyroll account if you do not already have one (non-premium still works)

start crunchy-xml-decoder.bat or crunchy-xml-decoder.py
log in
start crunchy-xml-decoder.py
select option 1
copy an episode URL from crunchyroll
paste it into the terminal window
look for the output under \exports

Tips:
1) To change the container from .ts to mp4/mkv use ffmpeg or mkvmerge/mkvmergegui
-mkvmerge -o out.mkv video.ts subtitles.ass
-ffmpeg -i video.ts -c copy out.mp4
-ffmpeg -i video.ts -i subtitles.ass -c copy out.mkv

2) For batch mode of subtitles only (Windows)
dump all the URLs for episodes in "urls.txt"
for /f %i in (urls.txt) do call crunchy-xml-decoder.py --url "%i" -s
omit the -s for default (videoDL) mode
