There's way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers

As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.

Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.

Use firefox with arkenfox, then you wont have to enable DRM to stream videos

Thanks!

It's a must have add on, but it's still just an add on, we should know the basics of what's happening behind the scenes to sail the 7 seas.

The reason I posted that is to inspire some of you in creating fancy scripts that can easily do more than just downloading one video.

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!

Guides for uploaders (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Recently learned how to downloaded 'protected' content and have to say things are pretty simple when you start learning the basics of how things work.

But its pretty hard to get started with, there is not much content for uploaders, at least that I can find easily. Do you have any recommendations to read on uploading content safely? Metadata etc.
