[Feature] Microsoft Stream Compatibility ( Extension )Β #1734

Description

Describe the feature

Hiya, I know that the app itself can download a 'Stream' video if given the right URL, I just think that the extension is perhaps either looking at the wrong one, or if there is some basic logic as to what URL to choose, it is perhaps not sending the correct one. πŸ™‚

Cite: Here is a working ffmpeg method

I cited that purely to provide a working example of where someone has used the appropriate URL to grab it.

Without wanting to betray any privacy, I can see that it appears to always have this host(etc)+path, for me:
https://westeurope1-mediap.svc.ms/transform/videomanifest

Weird Aside

One thing I've noted in the otherwise identical (at least perceptively) downloads was that there were slight bit rate differences between using the ffmpeg copy method and the parabolic/ytdl one (using "best" & "best" for quality settings):

SectionKeyValue ParabolicValue ffmpeg
VideoMaximum bit rate1010 kb/s126 kb/s
AudioBit rate1467 kb/s62.4 kb/s
Details taken from mediainfo

EDIT To be completely clear, I actually used the command in this subsequent comment for my ffmpeg attempt.

ffmpeg -i "{{URL}}" -codec copy output.mp4
