I was trying to pull a video off an X.com broadcast/livestream and no matter how much inspect element or tools or anything could rip the video file from this wacky ass format
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JDownloaderJDownloader is a download manager, written in Java, which allows automatic download of groups of files from one-click hosting sites. JDownloader supports the use of premium accounts.[3] Some parts of the code are open-source. As a popular software tool used in Europe, in December 2009 the program's website was in the top 1000 visited websites of Spain.[4] German online magazine Chip.de designated it "newcomer of the year" in 2009, after it ranked among the top 50 most downloaded applications, with over half a million downloads in a year.
This shit will rip video from
any source. That means porn, pay per view, LITERALLY ANYTHING without having to fuck with formats or inspect element media but most places use some fancy tricks to keep people from downloading their shit. Yes this is somewhat illegal depending how you use it, which is why this is so good "In June 2013, JDownloader's ability to download copyrighted and protected RTMPE streams was considered illegal by a German court. This feature was never provided in an official build, but was supported by a few nightly builds."
