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

Do you have tricks for mobile browsers?

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

Ah tough luck. I might have to wait for FF to go through with their addons update in mobile browser.

Some people are just being followed by downvoting bots. This seems to be their case when you check their profile. Not the first time I see it.

If it’s streamed in chunks it won’t work. It’s about a 50% chance from my experience. I guess that’s where downvotes are coming from?

None of this will work since he needs to log in in order to watch the videos.

These sites only support big providers like YouTube etc.

OP’s obscure website might not work through these online video downloaders as there’s no native support for authentication.

VideoDownloadHelper (Firefox addon) is usually quite powerful

If none of the options others commented works, you could always resort to writing a script that screen records the videos by automating mouse clicks.
