Description

lbry.tv is a new open-source video publishing site. The site is still a bit funky, sometimes videos load on the first try sometimes not, and sometimes they fail halfway through watching them.

Supported in the latest version(2020.11.17).

If you are on linux try:

youtube-dl $(curl $1 | grep embed | sed 's/.*embed\(.*\)">.*/\1/' | cut -d '"' -f1 | awk -v prefix="https://cdn.lbryplayer.xyz/api/v2/streams/free" '{print prefix $0}')

Where $1 is the URL of the lbry.tv video you want to download. For example:

youtube-dl $(curl https://lbry.tv/@Hackernol:7/HACKITAT---9-LAYERS-OF-POLITICAL-HACKING:5?r=ATqhndQnpGqW3Sy6LhGRDxqgEMbe8Ugv | grep embed | sed 's/.*embed\(.*\)">.*/\1/' | cut -d '"' -f1 | awk -v prefix="https://cdn.lbryplayer.xyz/api/v2/streams/free" '{print prefix $0}')

You can use it along with mpv and ydtl for streaming or put that in a bash script if you want, lets say lbry.sh. So you just do:

./lbry.sh https://lbry.tv/@Hackernol:7/HACKITAT---9-LAYERS-OF-POLITICAL-HACKING:5?r=ATqhndQnpGqW3Sy6LhGRDxqgEMbe8Ugv

Hope this may help, and please excuse my poor english, bye!
