But can it help me download videos from Microsoft Stream which is now in Sharepoint? Has been driving me nuts trying to get a new workable method for this.

If it’s via browser I would look into the Firefox plugin VideoDiwnloadHelper. I’m able to rip most browser streamed videos with it no problem.

VideoDownloadHelper

This + yt-dlp is what I'm using to fill my german Jellyfin library. Haven't found one site which blocks my downloads succesfully

[–] nicetriangle@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

JDownloader is also awesome. Should be in everyone’s toolkit.

I personally prefer uGet-gtk with aria2 backend. But yeah, having a good download manager is really nice

These names, bro. Straight out of the dictionary.

We desperately need a making service that doesn't just spit out a random word from the dictionary.

Could be worse, like Go, C, D, R, V for programming languages. At least they have the decency to use *lang in most places

[–] AceSLS@ani.social 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Any reason to use this instead of good ol' yt-dlp?

[–] edu4rdshl@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, you can use it from a browser which makes it platform independent and without the need to install anything. Also it's more friendly for non-tech people.

Just tried it with an Instagram story link and it didn't work. I love this idea though. I'll try again in a few months

Link is dead

Edit: it's my lists or zenarmor.
