But can it help me download videos from Microsoft Stream which is now in Sharepoint? Has been driving me nuts trying to get a new workable method for this.
If it’s via browser I would look into the Firefox plugin VideoDiwnloadHelper. I’m able to rip most browser streamed videos with it no problem.
This + yt-dlp is what I'm using to fill my german Jellyfin library. Haven't found one site which blocks my downloads succesfully
JDownloader is also awesome. Should be in everyone’s toolkit.
I personally prefer uGet-gtk with aria2 backend. But yeah, having a good download manager is really nice
Make sure you have Octa set up right so you can log in with your organization's team space in Jira using two factor. That way when you set permissions to users and groups with the local Steam lobby your leaderboard doesn't get mixed up and you end up back in Confluence's Bronze league. Diamond subscribers can set their own epics with access to special story point loot boxes, but you have to watch for them on the Steam sale page. It's pretty simple, just read the process docs in Fandom.
Wut. Is this because I misspelled ‘Stream’ as ‘Steam’? 🤔 fixed… 😅
Haaaaha, I thought you were goofin' so I joined in 🙃
Haha 😂 Nooo. Microsoft has Stream used for videos. Often business has this. Someone kept trying to send the video for me to edit but it kept routing me to the Stream Sharepoint page. They weren’t as technically adept.. so I was investigating how to just pull a copy as a download to edit and send it back to them. Eventually I had them copy it to OneDrive and just share it there. I was surprised at how complicated it was to find the stream source and went down a rabbit hole of stuff to try, but, it’s not easy. So I wondered if Cobalt had such potential.
Have u tried yt-dlp?
Yes thanks. It was my first option actually. After that started digging around in the html.
