I was using Internet Download Manager to download videos from Streaming sites Unprotected Videos
but now my license has expired

search mpd or m3u8 link and download with yt-dlp

thanks but why the speed is soo slow compared to IDM ?
yt-dlp downloading speed is 300 to 550 kbps
while in idm i can get up to 4 mbps
same video

add aria2 to yt-dlp
yt-dlp --external-downloader aria2c https://mpd

and see your PM ...

thank you so much it worked and downloading at full speed
i just have 1 more question
1-will yt-dlp by default download the highest quality available from the mdp link ?
im using this command
yt-dlp --external-downloader aria2c --allow-u --no-check-certificate mdplink

2-can i make yt-dlp automatically merge the video and audio files into an mkv file after the download is complete ?
thank you
and thanks for the link

1) yes, by default yt-dlp download at best resolution, video and audio
2) to merge use ffmpeg with
ffmpeg-i video.mp4 -i audio.m4a -c copy final_video.mp4

and please, read your PM ...

if the videos are unprotected (no drm) then you dont need the '--allow-u' part.
the added benefit to not using that is that yt-dlp will join the file automatically for you.
for mkv you could try adding this to the yt-dlp command, which "should" merge the video and audio into a mkv instead of a mp4.

--merge-output-format mkv
