Download streaming mp4 video that requires account

[rowdy23]

Hello,

Does anybody have any idea how to do this?

I have an account on a site that is streaming mp4 videos that I'd like to save to watch on a plane.

It looks like the videos are being sent chunk by chunk from urls that looks like:

https://video-node.swarmcdn.com/[some long string]/[even longer string].mp4

In the request headers for each chunk, the url is the same but I see the byte range change. For example:

range: bytes=48183106-48347961

The request headers also have something curious. The authority is

video-node.swarmcdn.com

The origin and referrer is site I login to in order to view the videos.

Any one have any ideas how to save these videos?

You can't find mpd/manifest/m3u8 something?
Read this thread carefully, also swarmcdn is mentioned.

Thanks vegeta!

I had read that post but I didn't realize it applied to mp4 files.

Another thing I did wrong was I was watching network calls after the player was loaded and after the play button was pressed. This caused me to miss seeing the call to fetch the manifest.
Once I found that call, using that url and changing the extension from .mp4 -> m3u8 worked!

Glad you worked it out and glad you learned something.
