How to download streamed videos like on voot.com?



On Voot, songs are streamed only when you are on the active tab & I couldn't find anyway to do it

Example to download👇

www.voot.com/shows/rising-sta…

Have you tried it with youtube-dl?

Yep doesn't work. Added more explanation above 👆

rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supp… voot its supported by youtube-dl check it! i visit the url voot had restriction by country. You will need a proxy if is restricted

I had to update youtube-dl but it worked. Took too long though 20 mins for a 4 mins song 😂 but then I realised I downloaded the whole 400MB video. Now have to learn how to download just the audio :)

´´´

youtube-dl -x <url>

-x, --extract-audio Convert video files to audio-only files (requires ffmpeg or avconv and ffprobe or avprobe)

or with avconv

avconv -i <file> -an -y solovideo.mp4

´´´

avconv -i <file> -vn -y soloaudio.mp3

Thanks I use youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 <url> :)
