Hello everyone, a few days ago I summarized for you the websites that can download various videos from the internet.
Today, let's get to know some plugins and scripts that can download various videos.
Most of them have been introduced before, so choose the one that suits you according to your needs. Most websites can be parsed and downloaded in just a few seconds by pasting the link, etc. The main focus is on simplicity and convenience, while plugins and scripts have more functions, which require manual installation and understanding.
media source#
Let's first get to know a script called media source that I recently discovered. If you often use IDM to sniff and download videos from the internet, you will find that it is unable to download videos from certain websites. However, this script, as its name suggests, can extract videos without discrimination. As long as the video is fully cached or played, it can automatically detect and capture these videos. Ignorant fans should have an impression, we have previously posted a similar Tampermonkey script called "Unlimited Downloads", but it has already cooled down.
However, this script is not omnipotent. It can only download videos that use the mainstream media playback technology (MES). It doesn't matter if you don't know which websites use it.
Ignorant personally tested certain live broadcasts of certain websites and third-party video sites, and they can all be downloaded. As long as you see this prompt in the upper right corner, it means it can be downloaded. If you don't want to watch, you can choose to mute and play at 16x speed, and quickly cache and download it. It will separate the video and audio for downloading, and you need to compress them yourself.
Let's briefly review the download tools we introduced before.
h5player#
This is a video enhancement script that is not limited by platforms. It has functions such as picture-in-picture, playback speed adjustment, screenshot, and color adjustment. Whether the platform has these functions or not, it supports them all. It can even speed up advertisements. Video downloading is just one of its functions. Although not powerful, this script is still very cool. Highly recommended.
Muyang Bilibili Video Batch Download Tool#
This plugin, in simple terms, allows you to log in to your account and batch download videos up to 8k resolution. If you have a big member account, you can download all videos. This feature is rarely supported by software. Those who understand it will understand.

This plugin is also a video downloader that works on all platforms. You can download the complete video without waiting for caching, and you don't need to compress it yourself. It supports multi-threaded downloading and comes with a software client that supports more video types.
Even if you can't download, it also provides a fallback function, which is direct recording. If the video recording can be detected, then give up and don't waste time looking for it.
Chrono Download Manager and Cat Claw Plugin#
These two are web sniffing tools for videos, audios, and images. As long as they can be sniffed, they can be downloaded. They mainly replace the built-in download function of the browser.
With these tools, you no longer need to rely on others for video downloads. The software section about video downloads is still being organized, so please look forward to it.
