Hi guys,
I was wondering how people who upload first webdl/webrip/etc movies/tvshows rip the video file… Is there any “official guide” how to? Some rips have HDR and DV so how they get these metadata cause I assume that just screen recording won’t get it.
Haha, nice try developer from Netflix HQ
I have never seen those questions answered because it’s a secret sauce that the streaming platforms would patch immediately if it were published. In general though, my understanding is it’s older versions of apk’s on rooted android devices with exploits that allow for harvesting the actual cached files, or in some cases the apk is deconstructed to get access to the API keys so that the files are downloaded directly, though that’s risky as it gets easier to detect a single key doing a giant pull of files faster than someone could reasonably watch the shows.
It’s a secret – otherwise the streaming services in question would immediately patch the vulnerability
WebRip is basically exactly that: capture audio/video during screening. WebDL is secret magic to tickle the streaming service for the files it sends to the browser during streaming.
If you get access to the media files that the streaming service sends you without recording it yourself it’s WebDL. Could also be done by decrypting media you “downloaded” in their app to watch later.
With your capitalisation of “rip” there, I nearly had a heart attack thinking something (implausibly) had signalled the end of rips from streaming platforms lol.
