REDGIFS HLS streaming not saving

[Dean Sauer]

Redgifs.com seems to have changed to some sort of HLS streaming, and the "Save Video" option is no longer available.

Example:
https://www.redgifs.com/watch/overcookedwoodenborer

OLDER videos from BEFORE 3/28. seem to have the right click option


THIS SITE WILL DL the file from the URL
https://pastedownload.com/redgifs-video-downloader/


Video Download Helper doesn't seem to work either...Gives the option to DL but get this error:

Any input or ideas?

Try searching this forum using "mp2t" as your search key.  This is an issue that has been discussed here many times before.

As for sites changing the way they present their content, that happens all the time.  We may not like it but that's how the world operates.  We just have to roll with the punches.  The sites aren't going to go back to their old way of doing things.
