It is possible by opening the network tab in the browser developer tools. blocking the "disable-devtools.js" script, refreshing, hitting play, saving the "resolve-token" as m3u8, feeding it to ffmpeg, figuring out how to fool the "track-progress" throttling…

It's however much easier to just download the same film from rutracker. This is the 8 GB rip: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9E4A961592C535DBEF9C8C66181CE7A6A002969A&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fbt4.t-ru.org%2Fann%3Fmagnet and there's also a 40 GB full bluray available for best quality.

Feed the m3u8 into yt-dlp and it should handle it.

This is the way. Why get a WEB-DL or WEBRip when you can get a nice remux bluray and make your own encode or grab someone elses. You will get better quality for close to the same amount of time (if you encode a remux).

Well, it's using funny JS, you learn how it works and trick it into downloading the fragments.

But why would you bother doing that if the movie is available on public trackers in better quality?

Feed the m3u8 unperson mentioned into yt-dlp.

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What exactly lead you to believe it serves an M3U file?

Even if you had good intentions with that, throwing common solutions that obviously won't work at someone only leads to them wasting time. It's not a good thing to do.

unperson mentioned

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I only know the word as a derogatory term and have no idea who you are trying to offend with that.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

There’s another comment in this thread by user unperson that I was building on, hence referring to their comment. You asked where m3u8 came from, it’s another comment in this thread. Since it’s a derogatory term, it’s possible you have filtered their comments.

Edit: why are you assuming I am trying to offend anyone?

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nah, their instance is blocked on mine.

Not the first time I see this, I guess it's time to either host my own instance or find one with less righteous admins.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Yea I am pretty sick of that shit too. That’s honestly why I have stayed on mine for so long.

I’m sure that explains it. I didn’t realize programming.dev blocked hexbear. Kind of stupid honestly. It’s a great community but has it’s quirks for sure.
