Getting Audio and Video from Steams
I'm trying to download a video from BritBox. After observing my network packets, it seems they stream the video in .m4s fragments.
I've looked into InviDownloader, but can't seem to get it to pick up all the pieces. I don't think I'm giving it the correct URL but can't find the correct one either. I've taken a look at this question but I think it requires a specific URL as well, which I can't seem to find.
Most fragments (if not all) have a .dash extension, so I tried to get it working with GPAC's dashcast but couldn't get that working either. I've also seen Handbrake being thrown around but haven't tried it.
After trying tons of browser extensions, I found one that can correctly piece together the .m4s files, at least to an extent. If you carefully refresh the extension when new packets are downloaded, you can download a result of the entire .m4s.
Then, using youtube-dl and ffmpeg you can convert it to an mp4 file. However, this has no audio.
I'm not too savvy when it comes to videos or streaming. Is there an easy way to download these videos to an mp4 format with audio?
