I want to download a video from a website that uses the JWPlayer, but the video is downloaded in chunks. Video Download Helper can detect each chunk, but it can't download all of them and join them. On top of that, when I open the developer panel it gets stuck on a debugger breakpoint and there are an infinite number of them (probably some DRM thing). Can anyone help?

Also, I couldn't post this on Reddit because even after selecting a post flair it still refuses to post it saying I need to select a flair.

Can't you download each chunk, decompress it and merge it with ffmpeg?

The problem is that I would need to play the video in order to download all the chunks, and this video lasts like two hours. I want to download all the chunks without playing the video.

Chinese website, right? They can be assholish like that. Either try using youtube-dl as F_x suggested, so it could download all chunks simultaneously. Otherwise, it's the long and windy road.

Youtube-dl says the website is not supported. Probably because the URL has Japanese characters

Looks like you will have to do what you don't want to do.
