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.

Is there any way to save this post for later?

[–] Maximilious@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In kbin if you updoot it, it will show up in your profile. Not sure if there's another way in kbin atm as I'm still learning

[–] deepfake@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Is it possible to route yt-dlp through Tor?

[–] equalszero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years 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.

Could someone try to download the episode from this site and tell me how to do it? https://www.rtp.pt/play/p11517/e679436/taskmaster

I can't do it, it seems it's pulling the video in chunks and I can't get the link for the full thing
