Hi fellow people! I want to download & save a huge set of small videos (20min each) for a swimming course I paid for and they don’t let me download , and this is driving me crazy.
The videos can be accessed via browser only, and I tried tubedowoader with no success (gives an error “empty keys” while attempting to download).
What should I try?
(Android is first choice, then Linux ofc)
I usually try this method when there isn’t something easier: https://superuser.com/a/990986
Not really, I prefer to do this kind of stuff on a desktop. Also, I don’t think mobile browsers have good developer tools to use for this purpose
None of this will work since he needs to log in in order to watch the videos.
It depends on how the video is embedded and which format it is.
- You can try to open Page Info (CTRL+I) > Media tab and see if you can find the video there (Firefox).
- Sometimes you can right click and open frame in new window, which then allows you to save it (you may need to enable dom. event. contextmenu in about:config if they block right click)
- Get the VideoDownloadHelper addin (Firefox)
try 1dm app on playstore. it has a browser where you can tap a button and see the videos in the page that can be downoaded.
yt-dlp works often enough. You can specify cookies for login information as command line options, first have to login in the browser though and look for the info in the console.
