I’m not a programmer so I’m probably not using the right words but when I’m in Firefox and press F12 to get to the console (?) where can I find the address of the video that’s currently displayed on the page (to download with wget or yt-dlp)? I tried element picker but nothing that looks like an address appeared.

TIA!

    @fort_burp Check the network panel, not elements. There you should be able to filter for media.

    Make sure to have it open befote loading the page.

    Also note that some pages might use video files like mp4, some might use playlists, others might use DRM which is not supported by yt-dlp anyway.

    Also yt-dlp might work just by using the website URL, it will auto fetch the video from the page.
