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.
@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.
