<p dir="auto">I just bought a week's membership of Xarabcam, and was planning to share the videos here. But I can't figure out how to download them.</p>
<p dir="auto">The videos seem to stream in small chunks. Tools like Video Download Helper and XDM identify small video files, but these won't even open in VLC. Does anyone know what I can do?</p>
<p dir="auto">The videos seem to be hosted at either <code> videodelivery.net</code> or <code> cloudflarestream.com</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Here's an example:</p>
<p dir="auto">![alt text](<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1672911262773-sk%C3%A4rmbild-2023-01-05-101854.png" alt="Skärmbild 2023-01-05 101854.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /> image url)</p>
<p dir="auto">When I use inspect source, I get this:<br />
<code>https://iframe.videodelivery.net/1430002749f4e7a7c1dc7f8ca37e0552?poster=https%3A%2F%2Fcloudflarestream.com%2F1430002749f4e7a7c1dc7f8ca37e0552%2Fthumbnails%2Fthumbnail.jpg%2F1430002749f4e7a7c1dc7f8ca37e0552%2Fthumbnails%2Fthumbnail.jpg%3Ftime%3D%26height%3D600</code><br />
That link opens the video, but it still doesn't download properly.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've tried yt-dl, Video Download Manager and XDM so far.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks in advance for your help!</p>

<p dir="auto">All that can be done from client side is to have all pieces and merge it together into a Transport Stream file, which is a single MPEG4 file that can be played by most PCs and phones.</p>
<p dir="auto">In order to do so, you need a manifest file containing all video information. For HLS streams it usually is a m3u8 file. For DASH streams it's usually a MPD file.</p>
<p dir="auto">With that file in hand, you'll need an application capable of dealing with either M3U8 or MPD. You can use VOVSOFT M3U8 Downloader as it is free.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'll assist you on obtaining the MPD files but first I must inform you that it's a slow process that will definitely limit how many videos you'll be able to download in a week. Not only that, but the download speed of the video files is not the fastest possible either. You'll need to follow this process for each video:</p>
<p dir="auto">1 - First off, go to the page where the video is playing and open the Developer Tools (CTRL+Shift+I)</p>
<p dir="auto">2 - Go to the Network tab, toggle "Fetch/XHR" on and make sure you end up with something like this:<br />
<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1672920953596-885aa13a-8d4e-4633-afca-fa7ab38d485c-image.png" alt="885aa13a-8d4e-4633-afca-fa7ab38d485c-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">3 - Press F5. Both the DevTools and the webpage will reload. After it's finished loading you'll see a list of files fetched by the browser:<br />
<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1672921239730-b5de4c17-14c0-42cc-9a5c-d06801204b02-image.png" alt="b5de4c17-14c0-42cc-9a5c-d06801204b02-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">4 - Right click "video.mpd" and go to Copy &gt; Copy Link Address</p>
<p dir="auto">5 - Go to M3U8 Downloader and click "Add M38U" and paste the copied URL, then just click "Add"</p>
<p dir="auto">6 - Click "Download"</p>
<p dir="auto">It'll immediately start downloading to your desktop. You can change the download folder by clicking the folder icon right next to the white bar.</p>
<p dir="auto">Every file will start to download named as "output" so rename them before or after downloading so that you don't end up overwriting them.</p>
