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!

For educational purposes.

The majority of websites with media content seem to, in my experience, use mp4 format under "Media", which you can then just right click, open in new tab and from there you can just download it via right click (copy the video title beforehand to paste it into the filename). Definitely much easier than trying to manually search the source code, especially since most sites / players obfuscate the direct URL nowadays.

After following this guide I had a look and what you say about sites using .mp4 is true. What's nice about yt-dlp is that it stitches files together when they're sometimes split into parts.

This is a small part of the language learning community but all language learners are welcome as this applies to all languages!

What is Refold?

Refold is a method for learning to have an instinct in a language -- so, to be able to use it naturally to express your thoughts and ideas, rather than learning to translate like is taught in schools – Ben @ Refold (2023)

Refold uses immersion and exposure to the language to achieve that goal of learning a language. If you like binging Netflix and Youtube, reading novels or gaming, then you're in the right place!
