Note that searching for a .m3u8 file does not show anything.
The video in question is on snapchat web. I don’t have a (smart) phone on me right now, so I can’t download it the official way.
Record your screen while you watch it, then download your recording
I just searched for the original video on tiktok, where it came from.
I would do this as a last resort though.
For social media videos I always just search for <service> video downloader, paste the link to the post and get the video. I do this for Facebook, instagram, and Reddit. I don’t want some plugin I’ll use rarely and the web downloaders seem to work fine.
Stacher.io can download from nearly any source.
yeah, its on snapchat, a chat app, so its not too likely to have a video downloader made, especially since the app supports video downloading (just not web).
Don’t use snap anymore, but I used to be able to turn my data off after loading the video, save it to gallery, then reset the app to prevent sending a message
I’m stuck on web rn, don’t have a working (smart) phone.
Its only a video of a guinea pig anyway.
You just said web though, right? Not the app. There’s downloaders for everything if you have a link to a public post.
“Snapchat video downloader” search gives me an entire page of downloaders. I don’t use Snapchat so I can’t comment on what works or doesn’t, but this is how I download any other social media video.
Its not a public post.
Hm, still might be worth a shot. There are ways to grab private posts when you’re logged in by using a browser console and finding the line for the video but I’m kinda too dumb for that. I’d probably just use a screen recorder at that point. I don’t need a Snapchat web-dl.
Its not a post at all, its a video someone sent me in a message.
I did try that, but it uses blob: urls so I can’t grab a direct linl.deleted by creator
ytdlp can handle a lot of these services.
I’ve been able to get SoundCloud shit that’s exposed by playlist but not downloadable without paying.
I have no idea what a “blob: video” is but JDownloader is my go to for the vast majority of things I download. Now get off my lawn.
A blob is generally media content expressed in text form, usually base64 encoded
Oh. That sounds like it is I who should get off OP’s lawn then. Thank you :)
As a fan of jdownloader myself, it unfortunately does not work.
Have you tried stacher.io ?
That bastard. Well, good luck on your search then.
