Odd situation. Crowdcast has bugged out and the vod for a particular stream is no longer available on desktop. However, I have a link that will prompt me to open it in the app, and that works for some reason. Naturally that only works on mobile, there's no prompt when using that link on desktop, it just throws and error and says the event doesn't exist.

I should also clarify that the creator has commented that they didn't delete the vod and that their communications with Crowdcast about restoring it have gone nowhere.

All that to say, I can still watch the video on mobile, or on a mobile emulator on my desktop, but short of screen recording, I can't think of any way to capture the vod (and I'd very much like to as I don't know how long this workaround will last). I've used the old "F12 -> Network -> .m3u8" trick before to download vods, but I can't inspect element in and app on mobile.

Any ideas?

Is there some way to intercept the traffic and pull the raw video out that way? I'm a hardware guy so I'm out of my depth with this.
