...or a playlist by keyword:

https://www.techsnips.io/en/powershell1

[oznotes]

They have media folder on cloud front and player keys and location is generated after it is clicked and gets expired after player running ..

[stinkteeth]

Use the "player" url, as opposed to the "playing" url, with youtube-dl, and it will work.

@stinkteeth Thank you! That works, great!
But, unfortunately, it only downloads the 360p version... even with -f 720p param... Do you know a solution for that?

[stinkteeth]

All of the qualities in the page source have the 360p url, regardless of the labeling. The higher qualities are requested via a separate call.
