Dear Sir/Madam,

Sorry if I am sending this to an inappropriate newsgroup, in which case=20
please direct me to an appropriate resource.

I emailed ShareX and Video-DownloadHelper persons like shown below. So far=

I got an answer only from a Video-DownloadHelper person.

I also considered contacting yt-dlp persons but GitHub shows an open issue=

about these unsupported websites in question since years ago. An example=20

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. All I can say is that we are working on a new appr=
oach for downloads that might impact a lot of sites. But it will still take
weeks.

Alas ShareX and Video DownloadHelper and yt-dlp fail to save videos from=C2=
=A0
those websites

How can RT=C3=89-Player videos and TG4 videos be archived well?

Many programs are not able to archive videos from=C2=A0
HTTPS://WWW.RTE.Ie/player
and
HTTPS://WWW.TG4.Ie/ga/player/catagoir/nuacht

Such ineffective programs include PrtSc (=C2=A0
HTTPS://WWW.Microsoft.com/en-us/windows/learning-center/how-to-screenshot-w=
indows-11=C2=A0
); Snipping Tool (=C2=A0
HTTPS://WWW.Microsoft.com/en-us/windows/tips/snipping-tool
); ShareX (=C2=A0
HTTPS://getShareX.org
); Video DownloadHelper (=C2=A0
HTTPS://WWW.DownloadHelper.net
); and yt-dlp (=C2=A0
HTTPS://GitHub.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
).

(However ShareX does record subtitles and audio. E.g.=C2=A0
HTTP://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/Seamus_o_Ceallachain/Seamus_o_Ceallachain_=
ag_caint_faoi_dhunmharu_amhain_ar_an_16-02-2025.mp4=C2=A0

from=C2=A0
HTTPS://WWW.TG4.Ie/ga/player/catagoir/nuacht/?series=3DNuacht%20TG4&genre=
=3DCursai%20Reatha
)

(These programs do not fail to record
HTTPS://WWW.RTE.Ie/news
)

I made an inefficient recording from=C2=A0
HTTPS://WWW.RTE.Ie/player/series/rt%C3%A9-news-nine-o-clock/SI0000001468?ep=
guid=3DIH10008756-25-0046=C2=A0
using a different program, but do you have notions of better alternatives?=
=C2=A0
Such an inefficient recording is at=C2=A0
HTTP://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/Gillian_Toole/police_arresting_6_alleged_t=
orturers_Good_night_and_take_care__20250216_105532.webm

(That RT=C3=89 webpage expired afterwards, so you can test a different news=
=C2=A0
report hyperlined to from
HTTPS://WWW.RTE.Ie/player/all-programmes/latest=C2=A0
or=C2=A0
HTTPS://WWW.TG4.Ie/ga/player/catagoir/nuacht/?series=3DNuacht%20TG4&genre=

Thanks!

Is mise le meas,
