Possible to download highest quality video?

Post by arthor »

Say on xvideos, when I donwload a user account, it seems to download the standard 480p video and not the 720 or 1080p. Is there any way to make EPF download the highest quality?

Looks like higher-resolution videos are available only in the form of "pieces" along with the index .m3u8 file (juts like on pornhub and many, many other video websites) that can be played in VLC media player and some others moder media players. Do you really want those pieces? You'll have to use ffmpeg or something like that to combine them into a single video file.

It seems I can use this software for downloading content from webpages that only uploads videos in one quality, which is still useful.

I have some other questions, if its not too much a bother.

I also dont understand the difference between projects and templates

Is it possible to add the URL to the metadata of the file somehow?

It depends on the website and on your ability to configure the software. Some websites require a lot of effort to make Extreme Picture Finder download only one resolution, which usually involves [ Excluded Page Parts ] and URL filters. Others require [ Custom Parsers ] to make Extreme Picture Finder download at least one resolution. For example, high-quality videos on xvideos.com simply cannot be downloaded as files because there is no access to those files from the website. But they can be downloaded as "pieces" because those "pieces" are accessible from the website pages (they are used in the player that you see on the page).
I also dont understand the difference between projects and templates
Projects contain URLs, target files, and configuration settings that allow you to download those target files from those URLs. And templates are a way to store and reuse those configuration settings. When you create a new project, you can select a template, and the configuration settings from that template will be copied into the new project. For example, when you download videos from different xvideos users, you don't have to configure every project from scratch; you can use settings from the same template for projects with different xvideos user addresses.
