How to grab URL of a video hidden in code with python - python-3.x

I have a website that is playing videos.
But the videos are not visible from the web, but I can see them using Firefox develop tool, at the network tab.
Is there a way to grab the videos or the URL in order to download them??
The web is: https://acloud.guru/
We don't need an account to watch the promo video,
https://acloud.guru/learn/lpic-1
And how to scrap the video with python.
I can only see it with the developer tools, network tab in Firefox

Looked through the network tab on their website. I found that it loads a JSON list of videos at query?x.... I'd start there. Simply open up network tab, refresh the page, then click on the 'response tab.' From there CTRL+A, CTRL+C. And now you've scraped all the video urls. It should start with {"hits":[{"allowDownload":true....

Microsoft Stream video Embed code is not working in IE 10, 11

I have created simple SharePoint Online classic page and embedded a video uploaded in Microsoft Stream using it's Embed code (iframe). This is working properly in Chrome, Edge and FireFox. But when it comes about IE, the embed code wont work and it says "The video could not be found":
However, when i open Microsoft Stream app in IE and play video from there, it gets played successfully:
I have tried almost all solutions that are described e.g. adding stream url in trusted sites etc but no success. Any suggestions for this?
I tried to upload a video using Microsoft Stream and try to embed it in the SharePoint site using an Iframe in IE 11 browser.
Based on my testing result, It is working fine.
Here is the testing result.
I suggest you make a test with any other video to see the result. If the issue persists then try to reset the IE. For testing purposes, try to lower down the security settings and check the issue.
For testing purposes, you can try to add that embed code to HTML page to see if video works in IE or not.

Is it possible to auto paste and click a button in the website by chrome extension?

I would like to make a two steps operation on a video URL by using chrome extension. First, paste the URL to another website's textbox.(For example, https://www.urlgot.com/). And then click the "search" button. Could I do it automatically by chrome extension? Is this operation allowed by chrome? I got a list of URLs of video and corresponding captions to download. So I want to do it automatically by calling related websites. I just wonder these could be done by chrome extension.
Thank you for any advice.

Is there a way to click through GDPR privacy policies on webpages when web scraping in Python?

I am trying to scrape the the article text from articles like the following:
http://fortune.com/2017/05/05/chemchina-syngenta-deal-acquisition/
However, some websites, such as Fortune, will present a screen on your first visit on which you must consent to them using your data in certain ways.
I need my webscraping tool to move through this page and access and download the article html.
If you're required to perform actions on the page, you should look into using Selenium (https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/).
Selenium is a webdriver which is exactly what it sounds like. It allows you to open a headless browser session which you drive via python code. You'll be able to parse through the HTML of the GDPR page, find the specific button/link/whatever you need to continue, send a keypress, then parse the following page to get the article text.
A webdriver is a great tool to use when you need to interact with a webserver via Javascript. Like triggering a server to send you more HTML by scrolling to the bottom of a page (to account for sites that implement lazy loading). This could come in handy for websites that require you to scroll to the bottom of an agreement before the "Agree" button is activated.

how can I play a game when I click the play button instead of download

I am developing sample web application(Game portal) for smart phones. In that application I have header, content and footer.
In content I have thumbnails with title, description and play button.
I have download a game(bubble game in the format of .exe. When I download any game for smart phone, that download in that format of .exe) through Google and save. After save I have copied and past in specific location in my application like layout/games/bubble.exe.
In play link just put that location in href. So the problem is when I click that link its goes to download.
Please any one say, how can I directly play without download when I click the play button.

Unable to link directly to WMV video file

I have a wmv video hosted in SharePoint. I've created a Content Editor web part with a bit of custom content and I've placed a simple link to the video Click to view.
There is really nothing special going on here. Some users can click on the link and the video opens in their default video player. Other users see a range of different errors/prompts. Some users are prompted for their network credentials and others receive a generic "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
The same problems occur if I create a generic HTML web page (outside of SharePoint) and have users try to launch the video.
I am trying to avoid embedding the video in the HTML and just have users link directly to the video itself.
Has anyone encountered this issue and do you have any suggestions for making this work?
This appears to be a combination of browser issues and file security.
People are being asked for their network credentials because the file itself is not "public"; it requires authentication to be read, or appears to do so from your description. Different browsers will display different messages when attempting to authenticate for the file.
Additionally, the default player for a browser may not be set or the browser may not allow passoff to third party programs, both of which will generate different messages for different browsers. This will always be an issue for hot-linked videos, and there's nothing you can do about it except use some guaranteed playback platform that all consuming browsers must have installed, such as Flash or Silverlight. That comes with issues all on its own, but such is the nature of the online world.
