Today I learned that firefox doesn’t like to play certain types of mp4 files. I also learned that you can copy a video link and paste it into VLC media player and it will play!
Watching these books being archived is amazing, I would love to do this!

You can also use this trick to download YouTube videos without the need of a 3rd party website!
Copy the URL of the YouTube video you wanna download
VLC / Media / Open network stream… And paste your URL
Once the video has opened, Tools / Media Information
Copy the URL in the “Location” field and paste it into your web browser, you should have the option to save the video
It’s a couple of steps but once you memorize what you need to do it’s a million times faster (and I’d wager equally times as private) than finding one of those websites to give you a link.
I tried googling and came up with nothing other than articles suggesting I delete my cookies and update firefox. If you know what dll’s I should check please let me know! :)
Depends on your OS and the alignment of Venus with the moon. For Linux, there’s Archwiki, sacrifice a lamb few bytes for good measure.
It’s usually something with media acceleration not set up yet. I believe i had to install the amdgpu-32bit driver first, before it worked? (oc only if you have amdgpu)

or just use youtube-dl
edit: here’s an electron gui wrapper: youtube-dl-gui
Yes! Though yt-dlp has been the preferred fork for a good while now. yt-dlg is a nice GUI that supports downloading with the fork.
Neat! I figured out accidentally that you don’t have to do step 2, you can just open VLC and ctrl+v!
I am downloading a test video now, thanks that’s very cool!
Nice, step 3 can also be accomplished with CTRL-I, at least on the windows version of VLC
Amazing! I showed my husband last night, he was equally amazed. :)
Probably missing a few dll’s or something, works fine for me.
