Download Spotify ad-style videos - ie Takeovers?

[[ss]vegeta]

but there's no audio track, probably stored as standard spotify audio

No, they just come as separate files next to the video files

Most likely. Didn't really test.

Can you tell me how to find the init using dev tools? Searching the word init brings me no joy?

Can you see the 3 vids i need help with?

Also unlike Joe Rogan - which is a podcast - these ones are labelled as Takeover - which is normally the Video ADs used by Spotify to torture free users..?

the dev tools also work to get the links, don't need fiddler here

video from spotify?? never seen. and i use spotify
from your link only 11 songs. where did you see videos here??

okay, so, videos aren't actually encrypted
I downloaded the init with curl
....

Now we must find an easier way to do this than manually downloading and concatenating init with segments...

I downloaded your segment and this one as test, but there's no audio track, probably stored as standard spotify audio

search for webm, the first 2 on the screenshot are the init " webm?token=Q43... = output init2.webm
the other 10452... is the video/audio "--output 2.webm"

Sorry, I don't have a (working) swedish vpn, so I don't see your videos


but I also see it when I look for init

For me these links gave me audio.
