[ oh, NSFW, btw ]

From what I recall (without looking) they use "fragments", -frag1, -frag2, ... (which FlashGot does not deal with).

Yes.

You can get the .f4m (manifest.f4m) URL & use ffmpeg to download the file.
I'd download as a .ts & convert it to .mp4 after the fact.

Yes.

The .f4m URL you can find in the page's source (or with Adblock Plus), something like:

Code: Select all

http%3A%2F%2Fvs3-480.us.playvid.com%2Fw%2FK2O19xiQ72L8c7LEgNUqKw%2F1404850014%2F304%2F199%2Fmanifest.f4m
Making it "readable":

Code: Select all

http://vs3-480.us.playvid.com/w/K2O19xiQ72L8c7LEgNUqKw/1404850014/304/199/manifest.f4m
And then pass it on to ffmpeg.

Code: Select all

ffmepg  -i   http://vs3-480.us.playvid.com/w/K2O19xiQ72L8c7LEgNUqKw/1404850014/304/199/manifest.f4m   outfile.ts
(though that is an actual .f4m URL, i'm sure its stale at this point)

A decent player should be able to play a .ts, but a .ts format isn't particularly "playable" (in a featured sense), but you can convert it to .mp4.

You can also save the file directly to .mp4 using ffmpeg, but the command line would need some adjusting & most likely encoding of the audio, on the fly. That works, but for me it's easier to change the container after the fact.

From what I recall
Heh. That about says it all ;-).
Seems I was thinking about some other site, where what I described does work, but not on playvid.

Playvid does show both an .mp4 & .f4m URLs, but both return a 403 Forbidden ... so ... not sure?
