Description

The website collects many Chaturbate performers' live sessions, recorded by fans; requires a payment to be able to download videos unlimitedly (otherwise you can only see the first minute of a single video), but someone has found a way to bypass the problem. However, the process is extremely cumbersome, therefore, I was wondering if it was possible to add it to the list of supported websites.
It seems that I'm not the only one to have such a request ...
If it is possible, please, can you also provide the indications of what to write in the youtube-dl command line to download any video?

Hi,
My research suggest few things:
When you go on this site first time from IP adres (cookies may be involved too, but only clearing them didn't help) you get few minutes of video and the redirect to login site. What is interesting is that if you inspect the videoplayer and easily find link for download of video in great quality. Caveat here is that it expires and stops downloading after about 20-30 min, which may be not enough to download longer videos.
You get one free video per day. If you copy link when viewing video, the link stays active for a long time, enough to download even few hours of video.
Link analysis suggest that it is impossible to fabricate as it requires among others md5 of a file and expiration token, which are provided only after verification form website. (Can't confirm it all, website is down for me right now)
During download your IP adres must stay the same.

Thanks for your suggestion, @adamsatyr.
As you've remarked, however, it's a slow and cumbersome method that allows to download only a video at a time, or a handful of videos (if I change IP address). I'm hoping that recurbate.com is added to youtube-dl suppoirted websites just to be able to circumvent these annoying limitations.

Me too!! Me too!! I also have the same support's request: downloading the vids from Recurbate one-by-one is too long, especially if the performer has many ... it would be nice if there was a fast extractor.
