New video format - not downloadable?
Looks like OF has been more widely switching to streaming videos (similar to YouTube*) instead of easily downloadable mpegs. These seem to get skipped by the scraper.
Is anyone else encountering this issue?
(YouTube "streaming" downloads are solved by yt-dlp.)
Not the only one. I checked. Scrapper stops at a certain point and the newer vids cannot be downloaded. Twas fun while it lasted.
I assume the new format you're talking about is "blob:"? It's on videos as well -- it's the DRM content. It is possible to download them, but you need tools like ffmpeg and the DRM keys to stream and decrypt them. I haven't tried it yet, but I know other projects claim they can download the DRM content, such as https://github.com/sim0n00ps/OF-DL (though, that particular project doesn't support the streaming tab yet -- just videos)
Indeed, the blob. (Just for videos, not the streaming tab.)
Fansly does it - some of the other Fansly scrapers seem to download those videos now. And yt-dlp has been downloading the YouTube blobs just fine for a while, so I know it's doable. yt-dlp is usable for non-YT video blobs, as well, so I'm presuming it can be integrated somehow?
Heads up to @DIGITALCRIMINALS (and thank you for everything you and the contributors do.)
Anyone else seeing this issue?
Yes. I was wondering why I was suddenly not getting the videos from 1 of the subs - luckily only one sub right now is affected. I couldn't figure out a way to grab the video outside of the scraper.
