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.

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.

Doesn't work on Medici, been tryna download video/audio from a band's page on there forever & can't figure it out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For Android you guys should check out Seal

I don't think it goes as elaborate as the above post, but it works on every site yt-dlp does.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it possible to route yt-dlp through Tor?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but a vpn is more than enough and much faster for large files

Unless you are playing with the tokens to gain free access, you are not really doing anything that you are not allowed to do.

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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
