How to download videos from funimation.com

[littleslayer15]

I want to be able to watch videos from funimation.com, but my internet is to slow. If I could download all the videos it would end all my troubles. I know there was a thread about this before, but the funimation player has comptlely changed and there wasent really an answer on that thread anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This worked perfect for me but, I had to make the output file a .avi file.

Cool, I was going to help you but you were able to find the solution by yourself.
I hope that it will help others who have the same request ^^

I'm still uncertain why it will only save as an .avi container. The video clearly shows a successful .mkv conversion. Any input on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jodensai ,

Use youtube-dl .
With -F you can find all streams able inside the link .
With -f you can select what you need .
=> -f 18 => mp4 640x360 (vid+Aud)
=> -f 247+171 => webm (vid+Aud)
=> nothing ( no -f ) => mp4 (best)

Unsupported URL error everytime.

Unsupported URL error everytime.

Funimation gives a mp4 url to video in the page source, if a mobile user agent is used. It isn't necessary to use hls (m3u8).

You haven't provided the webpage of a video (or example video) on funimation.

I'm able to get the url using the page source. I don't know anything about mobile user agents. I'm just saying that the youtube-dl program that was suggested does not work for funimation m3u8 with authentication token like ffmpeg does. Unless I did something wrong.

Did you change the user agent? You still refuse to provide an example video url at funimation.com.

I'm just saying that the youtube-dl program that was suggested does not work for funimation. Unless I did something wrong.

Ok, I understand that you're just saying that.

aazerty mistook the youtube link that you provided as the video that you wanted to download, rather than a video about the video that you wanted to download.

He suggested youtube-dl because the url you provided was a url to a youtube video.

He probably made this error because you've never provided the actual url (or an example) of the video you want to download at funimation.com.

I'm still uncertain why it will only save as an .avi container. The video clearly shows a successful .mkv conversion. Any input on this matter is greatly appreciated.

If you get the direct mp4 link, rather than the m3u8 link, you'll be able to save the video in the original container (mp4) and not have to change the container to mkv or avi.

Thank you very much! I switched to an android user agent and got the direct mp4 link then added the authentication token. I proceeded to use ffmpeg as normal and now I got an mp4 instead of .avi. You have been very helpful and patient and I appreciate it. I think I need to learn to be more patient and read more carefully.

Often 720p can be had by editing whatever mp4 url is found, if it is not already 720p...

found url...
-480- original value K.mp4

change to...
-480-2500K.mp4

Sometimes 1080p available too.

If you use ffmpeg to download mp4, it changes the container. For original file, save with browser or other direct method.
