How is this any different then opening a YouTube stream in vlc, looking at the Metadata and getting the file url and then saving that file?

I was looking for ways to save a YouTube vid without having to install anything and it turns out vlc could do it. Open the stream as a new stream then check the file info in vlc, copy paste the link into a browser and save as. I think most people who use vlc have no idea this is a thing, I definitely didn't

repiv posted:I just tried that with a 4K video and the URL it gave me is only 720p Yeah looks like they changed something since the last time I grabbed it through vlc. I guess it's good I know in advance but bummer. Wonder how long the 720p fallback will still work

Not only is it still mirrored on their own site and still available but it got me to learn about newpipe and now I'm using that. Great job riaa.
