Download from videos from fanwise-xl.com

[smithgpost]

Previously, it was possible download the videos from this site by using you browser (e.g. Chrome or Firefox) and a video download extension (e.g. Video DownloadHelper). However, this is not possible on this site anymore since the video does not arrive as one big file but rather little chunks.

Since I did not find a solution for this website I would like to share the trick I found to still download.

I assume you have a Windows PC for this mini tutorial, however, it works similar for Linux and Mac.

1. Download the command line application youtube-dl.exe from http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html
2. In order to join the audio and video file you need to download the software ffmpeg (https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/) in the same directory as youtube-dl.exe. You directory looks like this:
ffmpeg.exe
8,170,320 youtube-dl.exe
3. Now you click on the video on fanwise-xl.com that you would like to download. Over the video you select the option "source code of frame" from Chrome oder Firefix. Usually this can be done with the right mouse button.
4. Your source code looks somehow like this:
<stream width="100%" height="100%" src="fc123456178181723181283e1ed28e6" autoplay controls muted></stream><script data-cfasync="false" defer="" type="text/javascript" src="https://embed.videodelivery.net/embed/sdk-iframe-integration.fla9.latest.js?video=fc123456178181723181283e1ed28e6"></script>
You need the link with embed.videodelivery.net to download the video.
5. Now you download the video from the command line with the command
youtube-dl.exe -f bestvideo+bestaudio -u myuser -p mypassword https://embed.videodelivery.net/embed/sdk-iframe-integration.fla9.latest.js?video=fc123456178181723181283e1ed28e6
6. If you want to download multiple videos after each other you can put all the commands after each other in a text file that you save under "download.bat". For example:
youtube-dl.exe -f bestvideo+bestaudio -u myuser -p mypassword https://embed.videodelivery.net/embed/sdk-iframe-integration.fla9.latest.js?video=video1
youtube-dl.exe -f bestvideo+bestaudio -u myuser -p mypassword https://embed.videodelivery.net/embed/sdk-iframe-integration.fla9.latest.js?video=video2
youtube-dl.exe -f bestvideo+bestaudio -u myuser -p mypassword https://embed.videodelivery.net/embed/sdk-iframe-integration.fla9.latest.js?video=video3
etc.
Then you can just execute the script "download.bat" and all the videos will be downloaded, e.g. over night.

Hope this helps!
