Getting started

To do this properly, you need to understand how those websites work.

For the shake of simplicity fellow "pirates", they utilize m3u wiki link

  • m3u8 99% of the time.

You will also need yt-dlp install it if you don't have already

Example on utilizing this knowledge
  • Go to your favorite streaming site
  • Simple press F12
  • Go to Network
  • Select XHR (XMLHttpRequest)
  • Filter URLs for m3u8
    • If you find more than one, just test them out, you will soon find the trick on your own :)
  • Copy the URL
  • Open a terminal and type yt-dlp <your-copied-link>

Do it Ethically

Some may call us pirates, which I find really cool

But the true evil Pirates/criminals are the ones that keep the power to themselves and don't share it with others

Information is the only true power, and it should be free(free as in free speech) for all.

Share your own tips & tricks in the comments if you want!

This works only for websites that don't use DRM, such as Widevine. But there're guides to decrypt the videos anyways. Tough luck with Widevine L1 tho.

Is it possible to route yt-dlp through Tor?

It is, it has socks5 proxy support.

This has been my method for browsing on desktop. It has come in really helpful for when I had lectures to get through, but the default play speeds were too low, so I'd download it and then get through it faster at like over 2x speed.

I'd also like to give a shout out to the 1DM app on Android. 1DM+ version without ads was worth the money to me, and has been really reliable too.

I am suffering with this exact issue currently. Although the videos have embedded question checkpoints that need to be reached by watching the video.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

can you download the full paywall hidden videos from manyvids with this? If not, is there a way to do that?

Thank you for this awesome information! I agree with the statement about sharing the power and that information should be free (as in speech) for all. Let's make internet a better place!

@The person who said one can use VLC to download m3u8 links, I tried this multiple times already, but sadly the resulting files were never complete. Either the video was cut off or the audio missing or the like. I used VLC on Windows.

What about using 1DM on Android?

Could someone try to download the episode from this site and tell me how to do it? https://www.rtp.pt/play/p11517/e679436/taskmaster

I can't do it, it seems it's pulling the video in chunks and I can't get the link for the full thing

Last time I checked this didn't work for afreeca.tv
