    I've been using a combination of jDownloader 2 and IDM for everything and they've always worked great. That is until very recently on any site using hotmart (Teachable uses this for instance) as the back end video player. Nothing can decrypt the stream after their updates. Even yt-dlp.

    But I did discover...

    @h1ghm1nd
    Is it possible to add a line in the py file where you can enter the name of the video file to be saved, similar to video and referer? I'm not a programmer, but is it possible like with video = input...? Would that be possible? Otherwise every file is called video.mp4

    Otherwise it works perfectly. Thank you for that.
