use ctrl-shift-c in firefox to open developer tools (source tab and network<- tab)

you can decode/figure out most of the sources in 80% of websites

once you have the source, usually you can simply access it directly and store it.

many service are more complicated, but if you code at all, you can smash a script togethor

VLC can open a stream in, play it back and output it to disk instead of screen, but its a bitch to use
if you have linux...ffmpeg and curl can do wonders

youtube-dl works for more than just youtube, if you run windows, install ubuntu via WSL (windows subsystem for linux)

Many sites use a buffered stream playlist instead of a URI to the actual file these days.

I'm probably going to fuck that up a few times, any chance you would check if it works for iview before I flail around in attempt? Pretty please?

Edit: we run Windows. Hubby won't let me install a new OS as it's his computer, I bricked mine.

I linux I type:
youtube-dl http://link_to_page_with_video

I'm pretty sure that youtube-dl works even if you're a niggerfaggot that runs Windows

ABC did you a favor by making it impossible for you to watch. Jew propaganda.


No guarantees. https://smallseotools.com/online-video-downloader/

Oh I can watch it all right I just can't save it.

Your video downloaded link doesn't work for it. I tried a few like it before asking for help.

Essentially you will have to come to grips with the fact that you either need to install an app or a Firefox browser plugin.

Those are your shortest paths to victory.
