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)
VideoDownloadHelper (Firefox addon) is usually quite powerful
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)
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.
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.
I’ve had success with jdownloader or some firefox addon that grabs media in the past.
