Iqiyi

[EricDraven]

Anyone know how to download from this site using a PC, with either Firefox or Chrome? I've tried most URL "copy and paste" downloaders with no success. Apparently it's very easy if you have a mobile device, it even shows a download icon. But, since I don't have a mobile device, it's useless. I even tried to download their mobile app, but it doesn't work on a PC. I'm downloading a series called "Heroes (2020)", from another site and about half are from IQIYI, but the remaining are inferior copies from another source, so I would've liked to have gotten the rest from IQIYI. Nothing "complicated I just want a simple download solution. Thanks

Well, I installed the downloader and it now says I need Python daemon. Now, it's getting too complicated.
I knew when I started seeing script I was in trouble. Everything downloaded ok for the downloader,
I click the blue icon, it shows the video I want to download, I hit the next arrow, and that's when I
get the popup that has a red x and says "please run first" python daemon.py And it won't go any further. So, I downloaded
the python daemon.py file and it's all greek to me as I don't see any installer. Any suggestions or any other
less complicated alternatives?

Looking at the above pic, I see you have Video Downloadhelper, well so do I and it detects nothing.
How is yours detecting videos from that site?

[therain]

Using firefox + Video downloadhelper or The Stream Detector

[EricDraven]

I added the User-Agent Switcher for Android Phone extension to chrome, now what? What should I set the user agent at, Chrome for Android?
And what should I put in the Enter Your Custom User-Agent String? And will this allow my Video DownloadHelper
to work? I also added The Stream Detector and that doesn't work either.

[therain]

try with Firefox

[EricDraven]

Nope doesn't work, in fact every single thing I've tried fails. IDM, Youtube-dl. github, every single "copy and paste"
downloader, you name it. Both with firefox and chrome. What exactly did you do in post #4? Can you go step by step please?
I'm pouring too much time into this endeavor and getting no where.

[therain]

Again for firefox please see my pic for more detail
