HowTo: Download Video Content from ANY website
(64.media.tumblr.com)
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
m3u899% 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.

Thanks! I will have to test it on some obscure local websites on which most of the downloaders not work.
I'd recommend trying gogoanime etc first, then sail the deep waters :)
I meant more like news sites with all their proprietary players so not really high seas, just difficult to obtain usually.
For news sites I usually first try video downloadhelper addon, then figure what's happening with dev tools. Usually their proprietary players are way worse, but I don't really mess with news sites.
I use downloadhelper too and it works on most but I will give this one a try on those it did not. Thank you again!
