Download from cat3movie.org not possible?

Your question

Hi there,
on most websites VDH works well. But on this one cat3movie.org it just loads a few seconds and then it breaks up.
Any Idea how to get these things downloaded?

I do not work for VDH. I'm just another user.

One idea I have is for you to post at least one URL of a movie that you are having trouble downloading. Don't say it's all of them. I'm not going to investigate all of them. I'm going to investigate any particular movies you tell me about, maybe 2 or 3, but at least one. I'm not scrounging around on the site to find one. Tell me about at least one & we'll take it from there.

What are the settings then to download with yt-dlp? If I add just the url it´s saying that it´s not possible to download...

[Mattmjs]

yt-dlp -o "name of the file.mp4" "url.m3u8"

[Dynamix69]

So, this url.m3u8 is generated by renaming the video.txt file? If I try then this command I retrieve a lot of errors but no files...

[Mattmjs]

It's getting late maybe another time.

[Dynamix69]

No issue. Thanks a lot!

[Mattmjs]

I just thought I'd try out some other ideas, I changed the user agent to Firefox on android and it came up as m3u8 as opposed to txt.
It still doesn't work though. I tried in VLC with the m3u8 url, but VLC comes up empty handed as well.
How does it stream video in an image format which is the big mystery, probably this method is why ffmpeg is stumped.
The other thing is that the site has a devtools dectector which if you open the devtools while trying to play the video,
the video will stop straight away thereby not show the stream information. Unless you have that setting enabled in Ublock Origin.

So it seem that the point for this round goes to cat3movie. ;-)
However I did not manage to download via yt-dlp either. So I am still wondering how you did manage this (even it was slow).

[Mattmjs]

@Dynamix69 ,
My simple command I already posted is how it's done, you have to run the command prompt in the directory yt-dlp is in.
Then you input what I shown. I don't know what your doing wrong if you don't want the help. I've offered it more than
once but you don't respond. So maybe show some screenshots if interested otherwise I can't be bothered on it anymore.
