I use Librewolf, alternatively, Floorp, so I wonder if there’s anything I can use on them to download videos with.

And I plan on using them on sites similar to hianime, but I’m tired of like, finding one stream and it dies, then having to go find another .etc

I want to save my favorite series so I can have something to watch reliably than something that is operating on uncertainty.

Any ideas?

    How does one use this yt-dlp I’ve heard about?

    Because my assumption immediately was it was for YouTube, but I quickly searched it to find it can support ‘thousands’ of websites.

      There are GUI tools, but I use the CLI.

      https://www.ytdlp.org/ will give you the full docs, but the simplest and easiest command is just to download at the highest quality with:

      yt-dlp "https://whateveryouwanttodownload.com/streamingurl"
      

      Whether it works with whatever streaming site you’re using I couldnt say, but its a great tool.

          Sorry but I don’t know what requirements may exist for each site, if it can work with a specific config, or even what those sites are, I just don’t do streaming.

          I mainly use yt-dlp for the odd video I want to archive thats only on YouTube or a random video I come across elsewhere. For anime, the only approach I use is sonarr + qbittorrent (connected to a VPN) + bazaar (subtitles) + prowlarr (indexer management), to mention the stack. Then Jellyfin to watch it.

      As others said, there are some good GUI if the command line is a bit too hard for you as it was for me. I use Parabolic and so far it’s working like a charm (i only do officials video sites though, don’t know for streaming services)
