Anyone know how to download from vidsrc.me?

Torrenting this show isn't an option. Every torrent I've tried has this specific episode missing, with a duplicate episode in its place. Most of the streaming sites do, too. The only stream I've found is on vidsrc.me, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to download it.

I've searched around and found multiple recommendations for video downloader sites, and several people suggested the Firefox extension DownThemAll!, but I've had no luck. It's a generic "can't find video" message every time.

I'm guessing these apps and sites worked at some point but they updated their API. Hoping against hope that someone who's done it recently can tell me how they did it.

Extension "video download helper" seem like work, but need companion app (tried with first movie popped up).

To bypass network monitor detect (they close page if open): open uBlock Origin request logger. Play media. Look for last few loaded request, copy url, download using yt-dlp.

If fail, maybe need use curl/wget/aria2 and manually copy header value. I think used "http header live" extension to see network log with header without use network manager (uBlock not show header).

Edit: if all other site not show this episode, maybe consider make torrent for other who search and not find

Alternatively, install OBS and record your screen playing the episode.

Saw this downloader on my feed today, and it looks neat.

I've been doing this with Selenium+SeleniumWire in Python. Here's a basic script that will open a (Selenium) Firefox instance, load the URL passed in, wait for you to click through the various popups etc. and shell out to yt-dlp to download the m3u8. Requires Python, Firefox, and yt-dlp. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on platforms other than Linux, but I haven't tested at all. It could be updated to click through the play button/popups automatically but I cbf.

Script

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import threading
import subprocess
import selenium.webdriver
from seleniumwire import webdriver

firefox_opts = selenium.webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
b = webdriver.Firefox(options = firefox_opts)

done = threading.Event()
cmdline = None

def res_interceptor(req, res) -> None:
    global cmdline
    if req.url.endswith('master.m3u8'):
        headers = dict(req.headers)
        cmdline = ['yt-dlp', '--referer', headers.get('referer', ''), req.url]
        done.set()

b.response_interceptor = res_interceptor
b.get(sys.argv[1])
done.wait()
b.quit()
assert cmdline is not None
print(f"Command line: {' '.join(cmdline)}")
subprocess.run(cmdline)

Usage

Install Python packages:

$ pip install selenium selenium-wire blinker==1.7.0

Run the script (redacted example output):

$ python ./getm3u.py 'https://vidsrc.me/embed/[-]'
Command line: yt-dlp --referer https://[-].com/ https://tmstr.[-].com/stream_new/d6BoyFydhIoAEakvYTGZHhYA7A9aEkwpA1SDsb1Xxd3fYFxxaPzUvIost8zBAjouTHLFNGFwRy/master.m3u8

If code isn't your thing OP I'd be happy to run it on your URL and send the downloaded file over Matrix or something.

Oh thanks! I kinda lost track of this thread as soon as the work week started, but I'll give this a shot soon.

I recently tried to do that but after hours of trying l had to give up. If there's a way, I'd really like to know too.

You'll have to give a link if you want people to try

- Fair. I didn't wanna push the "don't ask for specific media" rule, but I figured asking people their methods was OK because that's info anyone can use.
  
  Here's the link. Literally the only one I can find that's not either a mislabeled Cuckoo For Coco Cards, One False Movie, or in terrible looking 360p.

  torrent galaxy has what you're after (as a boxset), and does imdb id search results.

Could you try yt-dlp? Not sure if it'll work; but it's worth a try

- I'll give it a shot, thanks
  
  EDIT: no luck so far, just "unsupported URL". My Google fu might be weak but I can't find anyone else saying they did it, either.
