  to convert from hls (m3u8 streams) to mp4, you can also use ffmpeg:

  ffmpeg -i https://y.com/path/to/stream.m3u8 output.mp4

  yt-dlp is also insanely good for this - just install it, point it at the URL and it’ll usually figrue out how to grab the video without any fuss.

  Its easier to just sail the torrential high seas and get that 4k h265 quality shit that sites keep for paying members only. Once you know the models name its easy to get their entire collection.

  I professionally pron too.

  Shout out to yt-dlp, the absolute unit of software beneath lots of media scraping tools.

  You can also use MPV Video player, should be able to play many URLs you throw at it.

  How would one do this on a mobile browser?

  source

  • SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Chromium based browsers have an option that lets you view the source code by putting “view-source:” before the URL to see embedded videos

    So > www.website.com/pagewithvideo becomes > view-source:www.website.com/pagewithvideo

    • BaroqueInMind@piefed.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I never knew this. Thank you!

      • SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        No worries! In a lot of sites you’ll find the embeded video or picture in a link in the source code. However, I haven’t figured tried to get this to work on YouTube in mobile browsers so that might not work

    I’d imagine you’d need a browser that has developer tools, which is far less common on mobile. A simpler solution would be to use a separate app that just takes the page URL and downloads the video for you, such as this one: f-droid.org/en/packages/com.junkfood.seal/

      Kiwi Browser has developer tools

  • IllNess@infosec.pub ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Note: this isn’t free but I use 1DM+. It has it’s own browser that filters out the videos for download. It won’t work with YouTube and a bunch of other websites because Google acts like a little bitch to the developer.
