Trying to download an embedded private Vimeo video

[ourcore]

I'm trying to download a private Vimeo video and I've tried the method of looking for the .mp4 link in the source, but there's isn't one, just other data for the video. Could someone help me download it? I've attached the source. Thanks in advance

EDIT: Sorry, I just saw the thread about only posting requests to public videos. I can delete this if the source isn't helpful

[lomero]

change master.json to master.mpd
and download with yt-dlp

yt-dlp "https://128vod-adaptive.akamaized.net/exp=1648654881~acl=%2Fef587ea2-163e-46c4-bd15-52283a025c3f%2F%2A~hmac=354c74a5908795746b20407f417f30567c89d40834b8c154b9f0524705120d4f/ef587ea2-163e-46c4-bd15-52283a025c3f/video/b057fc38,cd6e15ff,1397b0d6,eaf22bfc,f524d8c4/master.mpd?query_string_ranges=1&base64_init=1"

[pkp]

use this

yt-dlp -f 4928 "https://128vod-adaptive.akamaized.net/exp=1648654881~acl=%2Fef587ea2-163e-46c4-bd15-52283a025c3f%2F%2A~hmac=354c74a5908795746b20407f417f30567c89d40834b8c154b9f0524705120d4f/ef587ea2-163e-46c4-bd15-52283a025c3f/video/1397b0d6,b057fc38,cd6e15ff,eaf22bfc,f524d8c4/master.m3u8?query_string_ranges=1&f=dash"

[ourcore]

Thank you @lomero and @pkp! Both commands seem to have gotten the same file. I really appreciate it

[ourcore]

Is it possible to only download the audio?

[lomero]

yes, you can
use my trick
then use yt-dlp -F .....
and you have full list of available audio and video
then to download use yt-dlp -f xx .... where xx is your audio format

now not work. link expired. need fresh one

[ourcore]

Here's a new one. When I tried @pkp's command without the ID, I think I only saw video formats

[lomero]

yes video only. confirmed

[ourcore]

Gotcha. Thanks again for the help

Hi, I have the exact same issue. Cannot find the mp4 file after checking Inspect and Sources, and this doesn't work as well. How can I download the VIMEO video embedded?

[lomero]

yt-dlp have a built extractor for vimeo
so, use simply yt-dlp https://link

if your video required a passw to play use yt-dlp --video-password [your_passw] https://link

In your file, there's this

https://143vod-adaptive.akamaized.net/exp=1665328067~acl=%2Fb654d08f-4fcc-460c-b793-5919272fe376%2F%2A~hmac=bca4edef3fad663835910da0ed32fcc20c61c821716edb90e0ea67477c0ab338/b654d08f-4fcc-460c-b793-5919272fe376/sep/video/bc281826,8d9f0e66,75e5271b,3f883015,7177cefa/audio/8076cacc,944c82a2,1501f77c/master.json?query_string_ranges=1&base64_init=1

But currently it gives 410: gone error. Probably the hmac expired or something.
So, get a fresh link like this, and change master.json to master.mpd.
Then use yt-dlp to download.

[silver_wings90]

Thank you all.

I have the link, but I can't seem to get yt-dlp to work on my windows, is it possible for you to extract the video for me?

https://143vod-adaptive.akamaized.net/exp=1665845536~acl=%2Fb654d08f-4fcc-460c-b793-59...&base64_init=1

[[ss]vegeta]

is it possible for you to extract the video for me?

Yes.
And hopefully it won't take you a week this time to reply because I'm probably deleting it in few days.

Thank you sincerely for the extract and upload! I will download it within today. Have a great week ahead!

Thank you @LZAA - I appreciate the video.

I have a series of these to do so I would like to be able to carry it out as they get release.

Could you give me directions as to what I was doing wrong with my command in the original post?

Thank you.

your problem is in the query string

base64_init=1\u0026query_string_ranges=1

you need to decode the unicode '\u0026' back to '&' and it should download fine.

(obviously with a fresh link)

[PolyHubbard]

Thank you for your help.

[PolyHubbard]

Thanks for all your input so far.
I am using the yt-dlp & works well.
So far it seems to dl the highest video format so it takes a while.
To reduce the amount of data ( & time) is there an option to choose the lowest quality format in the command?

or any suggestions / alternatives exe to improve speed.

TIA.

[ElCap]

Yt-dlp has a great help file
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

To increase speed try increasing the number of threads

-N 8

or a higher number.

[PolyHubbard]

Thanks @ElCap.

[yinckx]

I'm currently trying to work with 'yt-dlp', a command-line program to download videos from Vimeo and other video sites. However, I'm facing some difficulties understanding the application's functions and making the most out of it.

Would someone be able to help me with this? Any assistance or guidance on how to effectively download videos using yt-dlp would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking forward to your response.

[Askew]

Hi all!

I am trying to download the below video. I have the latest yt-dlp. At first I tried downloading it but it gave me just the video and no audio. So based on another persons response I downloaded ffmpeg which I put into the system. That didn't work so on another persons suggestion I put the exe file into yt-dlp folder. That didn't work.

So, my question is how do I download with the audio? Thanks for your help in advance!

[lomero]

use mpd link in N_m3u8DL-RE "https://mpd" and select audio only

then merge audio + video with ffmpeg

[Askew]

I'll try that. Thanks!
