I discovered that yt-dlp can download the stupid HLS videos from nitter like it aint no thang, and not just from nitter.net but any instance. I was very interested as to how it knows which extractor to use, it must be scraping the page and looking for something right?

well....

@sampo Now look at Peertube

@matrix it's doing the same isn't it

@sampo Yep, but there's a lot more Peertube instances

@matrix uhh
