tl;dr https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector/ + yt-dlp
Stacher, maybe? It's a GUI frontend for yt-dlp and I've had success using it elsewhere besides YouTube but YMMV.
https://cobalt.tools/ works for some things that I've needed that yt-dlp wasnt able to
It doesnt do playlists tho so its a bit labor intensive—i have to really want the videos and be unable to source them literally anywhere else at the time and it requires you to schlepp thru each single video to download manually with cobalt. Copy paste, copy paste over and over till you get every item
Jdownloader2 is some horrid looking Java program that actually kicks ass.
And runs on Mac — probably anything that can use Java (so, not an iPhone/iPad). Keyboard shortcuts are different but otherwise, it works exactly the same.
God forbid they give us an official dark mode though! There is a hack, it doesn't survive reboots/updates though and the thing updates a few times a day... I stopped trying after doing it a few times.
But yes, Jd2. Usually you can throw a link at it and it will parse it and give you the file. Though on sites like OP asked for, they are almost always lo-res and watermarked.
nowadays i just use the browser devtool, but i used to use IDM for this
You can't always use the dev tools. Sometimes the sites have JavaScript that detects when you open the dev tools and then lock stuff up more.
yeah right... btw theres an about:config item on firefox that fixes one of the glitches sites use to block devtools. (the paused on breakpoint thing)
can u give more insight on this
yes it's devtools.debugger.skip-pausing, set to true
I use XDM. It's open source, has no ads or other shit, and it will download almost any DRM-free video on a web page.
how do you know the browser extension is safe?
It is open source. https://github.com/subhra74/xdm-integration-module
