Tech-savvy people of Mastodon: I have a need to screengrab episodes of Clarkson's Farm
(I'm doing a "person reviews X show on YouTube" & just need to get short clips)
Clarkson's Farm is available only on Amazon Streaming, which does not allow screens (just gives you a black screen when you try)
....does anyone have recommendations
I'd be shocked if streaming from the Firefox browser in a linux computer didn't let you screengrab it ...
Update: yep. I have just tried in Ubuntu 24.04 with control+alt+shift+R, and I can capture video just fine. I used Chromium instead of Firefox, because I didn't have DRM enabled in Firefox.
If you don't want to install Ubuntu, there is a live image that runs from a USB pen, and can access your local hard drive to save the videos. Plug the USB pen, reboot into the live image, screengrab, then exit and return to your regular operating system.
@7leaguebootdisk listen if that's how people want to spend their time I'm not gonna tell y'all no
the phone thing might be fine tho
ma'am i say this with as much love as i can for my linux brethren, who are out here fighting the good fight
start with the phone pic
@albertcardona fascinating
I do not have a Linux computer nor the expertise to set Linux up on my existing computer without exploding something
if anyone who does Linux wanted to take a few clips & send them my way, that would be most appreciated (I can send timestamps)
otherwise it's probably the Point A Phone At It kludge for me lol
If budget allows it or there's one sitting around, linux runs on just about any old laptop, even 10+ years old. Can become handy for things like this. Welcome to freedom from corporate nonsense.
