How do one get videos from android apps like we do on web using inspect tools ? I am trying to download some videos from an app before my subscription expires.

That's 2 different questions.

I believe VLC can open m3u links (playlists). Not sure about m3u8.

As far as downloading videos from an app, good luck with that. Or if you mean using an app (say, to download from a website), you could probably do it with Firefox?

If you have access to a computer, jdownloader2 is super easy to download from most websites.

I got Macs and an iPhone and I can download stuff so I know you can with Android. (I can also send videos easily between Android and iPhone.)

Yes I want to download video from android app, its not anywhere else only available inside app.

On desktop windows, I use HLS download plugins in chrome or fireFox to download m3u8 streaming videos or manually find links in network inspect mode.

I want to do same but in the android app. This particular app dont download videos in its private folder but streams it, I tried using PCAPdroid and its mitmproxy addon to inspect but it is crashing , also this procedure is little complicated, i couldnt figure it out, maybe i am doing any mistake, or it doesnt work.

I am trying to find Any other easy method?
