The damn vid is not available anywhere else.

Extra bonus annoyance - it’s only available if you’re in/near Seattle. Or if you use a VPN like I did. I don’t know much but I tried everything I could think of and I got nowhere. For example - I tried to download the source src.

    • open javascript console

    • get the value of videojs.players.player_media.tech().vhs.playlists.src (hls playlist link from the video player)

    • run ffmpeg -i [hls playlist link] -c copy [filename].mp4

    this worked for me
