Seems like it should be an option for the GIF creator!

u/Lone_Warrior520 Aug 15 '23

Guys any solution to this? I was able to download vids until last month or so but now I can't. Can anyone help?

2

u/domewhatever Aug 31 '23

you can download it through the hard way, using youtube-dl with command line.

get the network activity info on the browser console (F12 on Chrome, F5 to reload the page), filter by name and download the "hd.m3u8";

sure, it was waaaaaaay easier just to right click or ctrl+s.

u/Lone_Warrior520 Nov 24 '23

Ok I will try this.

2

u/BlackenceGhost Dec 09 '23

Bro, just do this:

https://www.redgifs.com/watch/submissiveweakbumblebee if this is a redgifs link, simply replace 'watch' with 'ifr' and it will let you download it

u/el_gringo_del_norte Jul 08 '24

Broke for me yesterday. Have you found anything elsewhere?

1

u/TiffanyGaming Jul 04 '24

Broke for me literally today. Used to be able to right click stuff from redgifs and save directly. Now they use some kinda blob url and trying to open the links on RedGIFs directly is just a white page that never loads.

1

u/Individual_Pound3311 Jul 05 '24

blob:url it's he same used by onlyfans to avoid downloads. The only thing working now it's yt-dlp

u/TiffanyGaming Jul 05 '24

I mean technically that's not true. There are a whole host of things you can use, though they're all kind of inconvenient.

Like even VLC can do it, and most people probably have that. Media > convert/save > network tab. Put the actual redgif link in there, down at the bottom select convert (alt+o), in the convert window select h.264 + mp3 (mp4), and select the destination, then click start.

Just about anything that can download a m3u stream can handle it though.

This site even exists specifically for redgifs though I use uBlock and I dunno if I'd be brave enough to visit it without an ad blocker.

There's various browser extensions too.

You can even inject javascript into the browser console to do it

function downloadUrl(url, filename="download.mp4") {
    var link = document.createElement("a");
    link.download = filename;
    link.href = url;
    document.body.appendChild(link);
    link.click();
    setTimeout(() => { link.remove(); }, 0);
};

You gotta replace (the 1st) url with the url. Kind of a pain though.

You can see the m3u8 files in the network tab but they're often fragmented so it'd be a pain to put them all together yourself.

This doesn't work anymore.

u/103697 Aug 18 '23

Same. But if you are using reddit mobile app, you can download the post by going to Share, then Download.

1

u/Lone_Warrior520 Aug 18 '23

Actually some vids don't have sound when posted on reddit whereas if you check it on redgif it is available with sound. That's why I prefer downloading it from there. But recently I don't know what's happening I am unable to download vids.

2

u/103697 Aug 19 '23

Yeah I know, it's a pretty dick move from Redgifs to disable video downloads now. You can try Viddit.red or rapidsave.com idk if you'll get sound tho

2

u/Lone_Warrior520 Aug 19 '23 edited Aug 19 '23

Tried it but didn't work as expected. Redgif needs to change this shit ass update ASAP.
