Your question

Tried several different videos at UKcolumn.org all come back with the same result:
Download failed
Sadly we failed at downloading that specific media.

If I click on details, I get this (first frame shown only)

Using webdeveloper network tools, (XHR tab) it is clear the video is sent in small chunks.
One video segment is shown as:

When this is opened in a new tab, a "403 Forbidden"message appears.

This may be a partial answer, but the script hasn't been updated since last year. I searched for the URL of the video: b-cdn-net, which is Bunny CDN.
Note: I haven't tried this yet.

Another possible option. I just don't know how to get the start of the video.

For Bunny CDN it appears they have a downloader.

Hi,
ukcolumn seems to be working with beta 9.5, I would recommend to try: https://www.downloadhelper.net/w/Beta-versions

[wirelessether]

OK. Thanks I'll try that.

[wirelessether]

Yup. Seems to work!
Thank you.
