How do I download the streaming media off of the site/or the media files' server?

Is there a client you guys know about that I can start using? Or is there a process to it?

Help is very appreciated! Thanks

Try this extension

I just tried it and this does work but you need to install their CoApp, which seems to basically just an ffmpeg wrapper.

It was a great experience until they started charging $19.99 for every additional item you download.

Yeah, just stumbled across that.
Video DownloadHelper a blast from the past. Haven't used that for more than a decade (I discovered youtube-dl and never looked back). I didn't look further in my testing, only promted me for a license when a wanted to download only audio, which seemed kinda scummy since there isn't even a pure audio source on the website as far as I can tell.

Does YouTube-dl works on all websites or just YouTube?

yt-dlp (the most up-to-date version of youtube-dl) has hundreds of supported websites. The generic downloader can download from unsupported websites most of the time and if that doesn't work you just paste in the m3u8 file as seen in my answer.

It should allow you to copy the media URL in the free version of the extension, then just paste into yt-dlp, if that all works for your needs.

That sometimes works, but you might need to add some arguments like here --add-header "Referer: https://vidmoly.to/"

That's what I found and am struggling with RIGHT NOW! It seems that If I had Firefox it would work straight away. But I run Waterfox, and it doesn't work. Trying to figure out where to move the install files into Waterfox... Hmmm...
