how to download a video of higher quality from abyss.to (hydrax)

[cibkosglowendnl]

They've just updated the player and broken the method

[atalanta]

Is there any new method or workaround already?

[cibkosglowendnl]

Looks like the scripts from my previous post is updated

[cibkosglowendnl]

Looking at the decoded stuff

{"width":"100%","height":"100%","preload":"auto","doNotSaveCookies":false,"fullscreenOrientationLock":"none","sources":[{"label":"360p","res_id":2,"size":81347747,"codec":"h264","status":true,"type":"mp4"},{"label":"720p","res_id":4,"size":144260576,"codec":"h264","status":true,"type":"mp4"},{"label":"1080p","res_id":5,"size":252999150,"codec":"h264","status":true,"type":"mp4"},{"label":"1440p","res_id":7,"size":470973337,"codec":"h264","status":true,"type":"mp4"},{"label":"2160p","res_id":8,"size":657687005,"codec":"h264","status":true,"type":"mp4"}],"id":"d34478903cd03b5fef","slug":"K8R6OOjS7","sessionId":"lneWjc0vgjxXrTAW4JXw_KxQqq490Lvc","md5_id":23103742,"user_id":13771,"domain":"csqg6fuj2m9.globalcdn96.one","preview":true}

They got the "sessionId" included. The new core lib calculates a hash and POST it with session ID. Could this be a way to download 1440p, 2160p?

[LZAA]

URL '2160p'?

Can you give me a 4k sample video from hydrax? js code injection still works lol. They're bad at fixing exploits.

edit: lol @lzaa, nice timing

edit 2: @lzaa you can try the classic bunny demo from https://abyss.to/ . At first I didn't get 4k but after a few refreshes, it loaded

For anyone else interested in a way to download 4k, the public js method still works

If the js method is too complicated and you're ok with 1080p max, see

[atalanta]

Looks like the scripts from my previous post is updated

It's broken again

[cibkosglowendnl]

Lol, they are really fighting back so fast. How many devs they got updating it everytime it gets fixed

[cibkosglowendnl]

Here's a more readable js with anti-debug removed. If someone wants to look at it. You can use to override the js

https://pastecode.io/s/261hvok3

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

I don't think they need a lot of devs for the changes they do. They simply change some encoding and brick the python downloader instantly. It can get fixed as fast so it becomes a tiring game of back and forth.

[larley]

Maybe download the js file, inject some code and run it in node or playwright.
(I'm thinking of this because I'm currently creating a learnyst downloader. I've already got the key, so the manifest is next)

[cibkosglowendnl]

It's pretty funny. It went from not being obfuscated, to being obfuscated, then more and more

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Yeah, you could do that. I purposely didn't bother since the more a way of downloading is accessible to the average user, the faster it's gonna get fixed. And in this case, their devs lurk around the forums like rats. I explained what code needs to be injected and where at least. That was more interesting to find.

[cibkosglowendnl]

I'll try making my own downloader with mitmproxy to save the videos. That sounds harder to patch

[meliotablet]

It looks like the person maintaining the python script abandoned the project, repo is in archived mode. Can anyone point me to the working alternative? I read the previous message but I am not sure which one is the working one.

[cibkosglowendnl]

They probably won't make it a public script since it gets patch everyday.

#5 post here is the JS injection, more complicated than the script

Works for 4k content as well. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to the community with a question about the abyss.to website. I’m trying to figure out what technology the site uses to stream its videos, and more specifically, how I could retrieve a direct streaming link (such as an m3u8 link or any other format compatible with video streaming).

I’m working on developing my own free streaming app, and I would like to be able to integrate streaming from abyss.to by extracting a direct streaming link to use in the app. The goal is to allow users to stream videos directly without downloading them entirely, using a clean and direct stream link.

If anyone has any insights on the technologies behind abyss.to (e.g., HLS, DASH, etc.) or knows how to extract a direct streaming link from the site, I’d really appreciate your help and advice.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or assistance!

Best regards,

SkyPurl

You could take a look at the git repo provided in post #47 by @hunter. It deals with downloading and you could try adapting it for streaming. Streaming is still downloading after all, only instead of fully downloading the file, it handles it live by downloading each fragment one by one as needed. You're gonna need some coding skills though to make it work with streamlink or some other program.

Keep in mind, being able to stream it as you want, is directly tied to being able to download it fully. If the download method gets patched, then the streaming goes away too.

[hunter7]

If you are working on an Android app. You can use ExoPlayer to play HLS or DASH streams see ExoPlayer HLS documentation https://developer.android.com/media/media3/exoplayer/hls

For Abyss, focus on these files for encryption/decryption and downloading:
- .../com/abmo/services/VideoDownloader.kt
- .../com/abmo/crypto/CryptoHelper.kt
- .../src/main/resources/keyGenerator.js

Note: You don’t need to download the video to play it find a way to stream each segment to the player at runtime.

In general, if you want to learn how to extract direct URLs from any website, start by learning web scraping. Familiarize yourself with browser developer tools (DevTools) and network interception tools like Burp Suite.

Additionally, gain a basic understanding of HTML and JavaScript, as they are essential for navigating website structures. Finally, pick a programming language for automating the process:
For Java, you can use libraries like Jsoup.
For Python, consider Beautiful Soup or other HTML parsing libraries.

Good morning,

is there a way to decode atob in https://abyss.to/

Good evening, do you know how to download in relation to the video resolution?

Is there some new script to download video now, the previous ones don't seem to work.

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

If you have videos from hydrax that you want downloaded, you can always post them here and kind people will download them for you.

[smile0]

the problem is that I download a lot of videos, thanks anyway.

Looks like they're getting bogged down by obfuscation changes as well. The build on newest update 75136e0 is not working

[hunter7]

got carried away by other stuff and completely forgot to push an update

I'll fix it tomorrow

[LZAA]

'java -jar abyss-dl.jar K8R6OOjS7'

Not working now.
