Download TS files from video stream

Question

Videos on most sites make use of progressive downloading, which means that the video is downloaded to my computer, and easy to trace. There are lots of extensions out there

Answer 1

I came up with an efficient parralelized one-line that concatenate a sequence of .ts files into one .mp4 file using GNU Parallel:

 parallel -k curl https://example.com/video/seg-{}-f4-v1-a1.ts ::: {1..279} >> result.mp4

The key is to replace the variant part of your url with {} and to set {a..b} with the lower and upper bound. That's it!
