Question Downloading from Gumroad / JW Player ?

[Hinnom]

I've noticed that some content creators on Gumroad do not have direct downloads available and your can only view their videos via on-site streaming. I've tried usual basic inspect element tricks but I can't find how to extract the mp4 files from it. Anyone have tips or recommendations?

Try using some browser extensions that detects videos/allows you to download vids?

Downloading the video really depends on what format the video is streaming at.

I've found a way to download these DASH streams. Use Chrome, hit F12 to open the Developer Tools, switch to the Network tab and start playing the video, you should see the media start streaming. To obtain a copy, right click the media > Copy > Copy as PowerShell. Open a PowerShell window, paste the code into it and add to the end
-outfile c:\any\folder\location\filename.mp4
The file will be saved to the specified location with the specified name. It still won't work on encrypted media like Netflix but otherwise works around a lot of annoying players like JWPLAYER.

This is damn near working for me. Currently what's going on for me is It will grab maybe 5 seconds or so of stream before the stream switches to a new .ts object and the session/parsing/whateverisgoingoninpowershell ends. I suspect this is due to my low quality internet reloading the stream over and over. If I get any results I'll let you know.
