    Give it a day and someone has ripped and uploaded the full season to a torrent site, that’s how I handle these messy streaming services.

    For more niche streaming sites I use yt-dlp

      Does ytd work well? Many streaming sites I try prevent downloading via ytd.

      Especially those using HLS m3u8 to serve videos and shown as blob content. Only addon that seem to work in most of the streamers is https://github.com/puemos/hls-downloader

      Even this is a bit buggy in that it would stop working after downloading 4-6 vids and i need to restart the browser. Annoying but works when getting a direct video URL or ytd fails.
