it would be great if the downloader isnt command line based and can list all the VODs of the channel at once after typing in the channel username/ link (but not too necessary). TYSM <3

P.S - I don’t wanna watch but directly download the VOD (i am aware of the TwitchNoSub extension)

      Can you link a guide to his to use the cookie command line argument. I’m a noob when it comes to command line stuff. And are you sure this let’s you DL without subscribing to the Twitch channel?

        I’m sorry, I misread your question. --cookies requires you to be logged in

        Why not use TwitchNoSub in combination with Video DownloadHelper?

        I always use the download helper to get the Video urls and then download them via yt-dlp

          yeah i tried that but it finished downloading a 13 hour stream in like 2 mins and then it does;nt even wanna open, i even tried copying the link and dl with idm, pretty sure idm just dl a m3u8 file with index-dvr something. as for ytdlp, cmd line is too much for me but someone said ytldlp wont work for my requirements (dl sub only vod without subbing)

    I used to run a script that recorded the stream while it was live using Streamlink and then i had the vod locally saved. Wont get you access to vods of past streams but the simplest solution for fresh streams.
