An Elbows-Up Sergal 🔪

yt-dlp works on nasa plus streams to rip them to your drive, i've grabbed what i can before it disappears, would appreciate some redundancy, please help archive this

yt-dlp can be found here:
github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

🔭 🚀 ⭐

plus.nasa.gov/video/the-color-

If you want to grab the stream, play a video and right-click it -> Inspect. It will bring up a developer pane with source code for the page with the video element already highlighted. Expand by clicking triangle, the URL you want ends in .m3u8, copy it out and use that with yt-dlp

This is in firefox, I don't use chrome but it also has an equivalent developer feature, so adjust as needed

@Adorable_Sergal Please also consider uploading a copy to the Internet Archive. It's not perfect (they are US-based, after all) but it makes getting the material off the Internet a little more involved.

@mkj Aye, I'm working to set aside some time to push it to IA when I can, but priority was just ripping it

@Adorable_Sergal Oh, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Having captured the material is surely more important than sharing it, because you certainly can't share it without having captured it.

@Adorable_Sergal often you can just throw the website url at yt-dlp and its "generic extractor" will find the m3u8! so no need for devtools/inspector here, just `yt-dlp plus.nasa.gov/video/the-color- hth!
