Get video direct url or file using blob:https://example

rated 0 times [ 81] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 21025 / 6 Years ago, fri, october 12, 2018, 12:00:00

So I am working on a service to universally download videos, I search for the

<video src=https://example.com/image/example></video>

tag and get the src url in order to download the video. The problem rises when there is a 'blob:' in front of the url. That link points to no video source and I have no knowledge on how to retrieve the video.

Anything could be helpful, Thanks!

Most of the time, when a video as its src pointing to a blobURI (blob://..), it is not a Blob that is at the other end of the URI, but a MediaSource.

You won't be able to retrieve the source of this data from your extension from this blobURI alone.

You'd have to check where the ArrayBuffers that do populate this MediaSource are coming from, but this is a way too broad subject for here.
