This site has JAV asian VR videos which others do not and their streaming is limited due to zero site vr video controls so the best option is to download and use a vr video player etc.

Usually becoming a member allows a download or VideoDownloadHelper works OR a 3rd party website will do the heavy lifting via a link and download
BUT this is one for the few site ive come across where none of that works for me....:(
When you do try to download the best i can get is a 5mb preview.

Id love to know what the site is actually doing to prevent downloads as well but the priority is to circumvent the block...

Any suggestions pls ?

Are the full videos playable for you on the website?

tried... hitting F12 and looking at the network tab... it gets downloaded in 5MB chunks.
the URL is a playlist that points to the chunks. have not figured out how to extract a list of those chunks, yet

yt-dlp does get the playlist , sort of.

try yt-dlp -e https://astalavr.com/videos/7QlRA/
yt-dlp even lists all the available formats yt-dlp -F https://astalavr.com/videos/7QlRA/

when we try yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox --autonumber-start 1 -f 0 -o "VR_test-%(autonumber)02d" https://astalavr.com/videos/7QlRA/ it falls apart. the chunks download,but small eight second low res clips. -f 1 & -f 2 does nothing but https 401s

Because it seems to work using yt-dlp , open a ticket on

describing this issue and someone way smarter than me will eventually figure out the hows and whys then write an extractor.

curl "https://cdn3.astalavr.com/7MnDY/1440P.mp4?token=3426315238-G1FcoiWenz6pnnHQdzvEoETUPlVDuiXWEBXtYE2bwdI%%3D" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0" -H "Accept: video/webm,video/ogg,video/*;q=0.9,application/ogg;q=0.7,audio/*;q=0.6,*/*;q=0.5" -H "Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5" -H "Referer: https://astalavr.com/" -H "Range: bytes=0-" -H "Origin: https://astalavr.com" -H "Connection: keep-alive" -H "TE: Trailers" -o "video.mp4"
All the clips/segments/chunks just have different range:bytes request headers. The first 'segment' has a request header for range/bytes 0-, the second has 5242880-, the third has 10485760- and so on. Their server doesn't seem to be responding anything to the end range. So to get the next segment, just increment your start by 5242880 after every request.

All you need to do is request each segment in order. These files can be downloaded individually into a folder and then concatenated directly into a single mp4, or you can just directly append each output fro curl (like: curl command >> video.mp4) to the end of a single file and build the mp4 that way.

Other values to modify:
7MnDY is the video id, you can see it in your browser address bar.
Token value you can find in network tab, look for the requests that appear ocne you begin video playback.
1440p is the quality, it seems there is 720, 1440, and 2048 for most videos.

Quick program for downloading all the video segments into a single video. Has worked fine for the 20 or so videos I've tested. Instructions are in the readme.txt, read them first.

even though I have not tested it , ( too poor for a windows license ) . am interested in understanding what autoitscript is actually doing to stich the chunks togther.

The curl command in download.bat is just downloading the video file ' & $video_id[0] & '.mp4'
then in line 54 of astalavr.au3 it waits till the last irregular ( am guessing the chunk that is less than 5MB. which would be the last chunk ) part downloads ;stop when the last irregular sized segment is downloaded

its just dumping the chunks in to VideoID.mp4 $video_id[0] & '.mp4'' and that works

This method is amazingly simple, thank you.

Kinda offtopic but you can install legitimate windows for free, you just have a watermark on the bottom-right of screen telling you to activate. You don't have to activate it ever though, games work, you get updates... I have the watermark right now, I'm used to it, although there are simple methods for removing it.

It seems some videos have a problem and with the current script it will stop downloading. I found a better way to download it all, but even so there is still a problem with those videos. I'm looking into it but I don't have a solution yet.
