Does not work
by Filip Cermak, 2022-09-13

Its works for me. Thanks!
by Jasper Yeung, 2022-04-24

Does not work always, but one workaround is to use ffmpeg: Find the 'fragmented.mp4' URL via Right Click > "Inspect" > "Fragmented.mp4" and then copy the URL ending in "fragmented.mp4" and you can see that it is actually just streaming from that particular source. Use that as the input... example commnad... `ffmpeg -i https://*/fragmented.mp4 -c copy output.mp4` Wait for a bit and you are good; might need to keep the browser open if it is using some kind of credentials or something, who knows.
