Try yt-dlp.
I was surprised how much websites besides yt were supported.
I downloaded stuff from NHK (japanese broadcaster) and they listed pages lile ARD and ZDF.
Might be worth to look if they support your page :)

You can use Streamfab https://dvdfab.at/downloader.htm Use the free Version/Test Version and then crack it with A Server Emulator https://cdm-project.com/Deja/DVDFabServerEmulator
If You need more Infos or Tools, look here: https://cdm-project.com/explore/repos
(I hope everything I said here still works, the last time I did this is over 1 year ago.)
Just gonna leave this here.
Thanks a lot for that incredibly useful link!
Something tells me that this is soon gonna disappear like a Boeing whistleblower. To everybody reading this: Make sure to archive that guide, preferably locally on your device!
it's drm protected and you need keys to decrypt. I already have these two extensions and it's working.
https://github.com/FoxRefire/wvg/tree/next + https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector/ or https://github.com/DevLARLEY/WidevineProxy2
https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE (downloader and use the keys to decrypt the file)
example mpd "https://vodnowusoawsdash-cf.tvnow.de/pgrn/cves/sd/rtlplus/932203/1-1-1d-3-2-1-2.ism/v1.mpd" (the free trial video only gives me SD)
in .mpd, replace 3-2 with 1-1 to get HD (1080p)

Is the chinese one safe? Kind of weird to run something I can't read the output of
The exe is clean and it's English, but you can use the 2024 versions of yt-dlp by using --allow-u to download drm protected videos
Then use mp4decrypt to decrypt the files https://www.bento4.com/documentation/mp4decrypt/
Have you tried yt-dlp?
It's DRM protected, so it won't work
I think i wrote a short python script to do this on another site. Let me get home and see if i can help you out
Are we ever getting that script before the heat death of the universe? ^^
Oh, Im sorry. If I'm honest I completely forgot. Here it is:
You will need ffmpeg installed, and I did write it for Linux, so I'm not sure if there are differences for windows. Worst case you need to slightly modify it to work on windows.

If you guys can recommend a fair and open pastebin alternative for me I will upload it there as well and edit this with the link

No worries, and thanks a lot!

I like OpenGist, the folks over at programming.dev run an instance: https://blocks.programming.dev/
sometimes one of the requests is a m3u8 playlist, or something similar.
it may contain urls of thousands of chunks.
if you download all of them you can concat them.
that worked for me for some streams a few years ago, but there is probably an easier way 🤷🏻♂️
Open the m3u8 as a playlist in VLC Media player. If it works, save it.
