[Feature] Download Videos and Audio

[ZorinFoss]

Hi @amir1376

Please add option to detect and download videos and audio files with popup to down like in IDM.

Thanks,

[amir1376]

@ZorinFoss Thanks,sure I have this idea but:

I already developed some part of it but have some issues

• I already can detect streaming videos/audios in the page
• but I can't detect a section of page that video is already playing, this is required so I can be able to place the popup on top of the video/audio file

I have to investigate other software/extensions how to handle this If you know any Open Source software or extension that handles such a thing please share it here

Check this project

@ZorinFoss their work is amazing! but unfortunately it seems their app/extension is not fully open source and I can't see any browser extension code in their repository!

[ZorinFoss]

This is the chrome extension link

[amir1376]

@ZorinFoss this is obfuscated and minified!

[ZorinFoss]

unminify

[amir1376]

@ZorinFoss Thanks but we are here to create and maintain an open source project based on community (and maybe other open source projects) reverse engineering/unminifyng someones source code without their permission is not a good idea for this goal

I'll do my best to find a solution for this ❤️

[ZorinFoss]

To be honest the best implementation of this feature exists in Ant Download Manager

ADM chrome extension antCH.crx.zip

I just try to help you to got ideas how this tools works and of course i will never suggest take someone work without his permmision. ❤️

[amir1376]

@ZorinFoss I understand, That's very kind of you ❤️

There is also this project. Good For example. I use this for sites that tell idm with a small code that you should not download.

To make this better, use a HLS detector like the above extension to find download URL and use a project like this - https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE to download inside the app.

@ZorinFoss Thanks,sure I have this idea but:...

Maybe XDM Download Manager?

I like this project, but being able to download videos like with XDM would be nice.

[Samillion]

This would be amazing if implemented. Nevertheless, great work on the project.

yt-dlp is enough for most of the streaming sites, like YouTube etc.

For a static supported stream/services list, yes.

However, detecting embeds and videos to download like IDM's extension offers the option anywhere, not just specific domains/services. (ie: a random blog post with a video, edu portals with videos...etc)
