If you are on Firefox, you can just <kbd>Shift</kbd>+right click to force the context menu, then just click “Save Video As…” as usual. For Chromium browsers, I guess you could use some “enable right click” extensions, which should be less sketchy than the above option ^^

Have the same issue. The validate_passwd endpoint now seems to use some weird signature in the headers. Unlocking the video in browser and passing cookies does work around the issue.

I can provide a video URL and password if anyone wants to work on this (expired)
