Where is the video link?!

January 3, 2020 4:08 PM

I can't find any links to the videos at this site: www.aftonbladet.se – either by right--clicking or viewing page source – which would allow me to save the videos. Here is an example: News page with video but no video link Anyone know where I can find the video link, or, if not, how I can save/download the video?

I haven't 100% figured it out, but it looks like the videos are using JWPlayer. Here is a page that has a bunch of suggestions of how to dowload the videos.

Best answer: Video DownloadHelper on Firefox does the trick.

Response by poster: Thanks, nsillik, for that page of suggestions. I DLed and installed flash video downloader, and its companion app, via the link given there, but in looking into why it would not download, discovered there is a malware risk associated with: FVD issues @ github

After uninstalling that, I tried zengargoyle's suggestion, Video DownloadHelper (again, along with its companion app), and I have now successfully downloaded from aftonbladet.se.

Many thanks, zengargoyle!
