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.
