Description
So there are a bunch of these Chinese video streaming sites, the only way for me to download videos from these sites is to use https://weibomiaopai.com/ atm, while some sites will give you MP4s straight up some of them give you m3u8 playlist files linking to a bunch of TS files which would then need to be spliced together using FFMPEG or something. The connection is also often extremely unstable when dealing with sites that only provide TS files so you'll need to run the downloads in parallel for those or it will take forever.
