There's how to use the container:
Pull the latest image from dockerhub
docker pull d1l3mm4/destreamer_unina
Or else, build it from the local dockerfile
Then, create a directory in which you will download the videos and run the container with:
docker run -it --rm -e STREAMPASSWD=[your Unina/MSTeams Password] \
-v [path of the download directory]:/destreamer/videos \
d1l3mm4/destreamer_unina \
-u [your Unina/MSTeams email] \
[other destreamer options (eg. -i for video URLs)]
The -it option is used to spawn an interactive pseudo-tty (used by destreamer to show the preview of the video and the progress bar); --rm is used to destroy the container at the end (so that you won't have multiple containers stopped waiting to be deleted afterwards).
Since the browser is gonna work in headless mode, you have to set the user password as a parameter (ic. as an Environment Variable) so that puppetteer can log-in without needing user interaction.
destreamer v3.0 is just around the corner. Download speed improvement is astonishing and we have a never before seen photo from the design sessions:

This release would not have been possible without the code and time contributed by two distinguished developers: @lukaarma and @kylon. Thank you!
- Politecnico di Milano: fork over at https://github.com/SamanFekri/destreamer
- Università di Pisa: fork over at https://github.com/Guray00/destreamer-unipi
- Università della Calabria: fork over at https://github.com/peppelongo96/UnicalDown
- Università degli Studi di Parma: fork over at https://github.com/vRuslan/destreamer-unipr
- Added title template
- Major code refactoring (all credits to @lukaarma)
- Destreamer is now able to refresh the session's access token. Use this with
-k
(keep cookies) and tick "Remember Me" on login. - We added support for closed captions (see
--closedCaptions
below)
Hopefully this doesn't break the end user agreement for Microsoft Stream. Since we're simply saving the HLS stream to disk as if we were a browser, this does not abuse the streaming endpoints. However i take no responsibility if either Microsoft or your Office 365 admins request a chat with you in a small white room.
- Node.js: You'll need Node.js version 8.0 or higher. A GitHub Action runs tests on all major Node versions on every commit. One caveat for Node 8, if you get a
Parse Error
withcode: HPE_HEADER_OVERFLOW
you're out of luck and you'll need to upgrade to Node 10+. - npm: usually comes with Node.js, type
npm
in your terminal to check for its presence - ffmpeg: a recent version (year 2019 or above), in
$PATH
or in the same directory as this README file (project root). - git: one or more npm dependencies require git.
Destreamer takes a honeybadger approach towards the OS it's running on. We've successfully tested it on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Make sure you use the right script (.sh
, .ps1
or .cmd
) and escape char (if using line breaks) for your shell.
PowerShell uses a backtick [ ` ] and cmd.exe uses a caret [ ^ ].
Note that destreamer won't run in an elevated (Administrator/root) shell. Running inside Cygwin/MinGW/MSYS may also fail, please use cmd.exe or PowerShell if you're on Windows.
WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is not supported as it can't easily pop up a browser window. It may work by installing an X Window server (like Xming) and exporting the default display to it (export DISPLAY=:0
) before running destreamer. See this issue for more on WSL v1 and v2.
Yes, yes you can. This may be useful if your main browser has some authentication plugins that are required for you to logon to your Microsoft Stream tenant.
To use your own browser for the authentication part, locate the following snippet in src/destreamer.ts
:
const browser: puppeteer.Browser = await puppeteer.launch({
executablePath: getPuppeteerChromiumPath(),
headless: false,
userDataDir: (argv.keepLoginCookies) ? chromeCacheFolder : undefined,
args: [
'--disable-dev-shm-usage',
'--fast-start',
'--no-sandbox'
]
});
Now, change executablePath
to reflect the path to your browser and profile (i.e. to use Microsoft Edge on Windows):
executablePath: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe',
Note that for Mac/Linux the path will look a little different but no other changes are necessary.
You need to rebuild (npm run build
) every time you change this configuration.
To build destreamer clone this repository, install dependencies and run the build script -
$ git clone https://github.com/snobu/destreamer
$ cd destreamer
$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ ./destreamer.sh
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
--username, -u The username used to log into Microsoft Stream (enabling this will fill in the email field for
you). [string]
--videoUrls, -i List of urls to videos or Microsoft Stream groups. [array]
--inputFile, -f Path to text file containing URLs and optionally outDirs. See the README for more on outDirs.
[string]
--outputDirectory, -o The directory where destreamer will save your downloads. [string] [default: "videos"]
--outputTemplate, -t The template for the title. See the README for more info.
[string] [default: "{title} - {publishDate} {uniqueId}"]
--keepLoginCookies, -k Let Chromium cache identity provider cookies so you can use "Remember me" during login.
Must be used every subsequent time you launch Destreamer if you want to log in automatically.
[boolean] [default: false]
--noExperiments, -x Do not attempt to render video thumbnails in the console. [boolean] [default: false]
--simulate, -s Disable video download and print metadata information to the console.
[boolean] [default: false]
--verbose, -v Print additional information to the console (use this before opening an issue on GitHub).
[boolean] [default: false]
--closedCaptions, --cc Check if closed captions are available and let the user choose which one to download (will not
ask if only one available). [boolean] [default: false]
--noCleanup, --nc Do not delete the downloaded video file when an FFmpeg error occurs.[boolean] [default: false]
--vcodec Re-encode video track. Specify FFmpeg codec (e.g. libx265) or set to "none" to disable video.
[string] [default: "copy"]
--acodec Re-encode audio track. Specify FFmpeg codec (e.g. libopus) or set to "none" to disable audio.
[string] [default: "copy"]
--format Output container format (mkv, mp4, mov, anything that FFmpeg supports).
[string] [default: "mkv"]
--skip Skip download if file already exists. [boolean] [default: false]
-
both --videoUrls and --inputFile also accept Microsoft Teams Groups url so if your Organization placed the videos you are interested in a group you can copy the link and Destreamer will download all the videos it can inside it! A group url looks like this https://web.microsoftstream.com/group/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
-
Passing
--username
is optional. It's there to make logging in faster (the username field will be populated automatically on the login form). -
You can use an absolute path for
-o
(output directory), for example/mnt/videos
. -
We default to
.mkv
for the output container. If you prefer something else (likemp4
), pass--format mp4
.
Download a video -
$ ./destreamer.sh -i "https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/VIDEO-1"
Download a video and re-encode with HEVC (libx265) -
$ ./destreamer.sh -i "https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/VIDEO-1" --vcodec libx265
Download a video and speed up the interactive login by automagically filling in the username -
$ ./destreamer.sh -u user@example.com -i "https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/VIDEO-1"
Download a video to a custom path -
$ ./destreamer.sh -i "https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/VIDEO-1" -o /Users/hacker/Downloads
Download two or more videos -
$ ./destreamer.sh -i "https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/VIDEO-1" \
"https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/VIDEO-2"
Download many videos but read URLs from a file -
$ ./destreamer.sh -f list.txt
You can create a .txt
file containing your video URLs, one video per line. The text file can have any name, followed by the .txt
extension.
Additionally you can have destreamer download each video in the input list to a separate directory.
These optional lines must start with white space(s).
Usage -
https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/xxxxxxxx-aaaa-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
-dir=videos/lessons/week1
https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/xxxxxxxx-aaaa-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
-dir=videos/lessons/week2"
The -t
option allows users to input a template string for the output file names.
You can use one or more of the following magic sequence which will get substituted at runtime. The magic sequence must be surrounded by curly brackets like this: {title} {publishDate}
title
: Video titleduration
: Video duration in HH:MM:SS formatpublishDate
: The date when the video was published in YYYY-MM-DD formatpublishTime
: The time the video was published in HH:MM:SS formatauthor
: Name of video publisherauthorEmail
: E-mail of video publisheruniqueId
: An unique-enough ID generated from the video metadata
Example -
Input:
-t '{title} - {duration} - {publishDate} - {publishTime} - {author} - {authorEmail} - {uniqueId}'
Expected filename:
This is an example - 0:16:18 - 2020-07-30 - 10:30:13 - lukaarma - example@domain.org - #3c6ca929.mkv
Windows Terminal -
iTerm2 on a Mac -
By default, downloads are saved under project root Destreamer/videos/
( Not the system media Videos folder ), unless specified by -o
(output directory).
