Beeg is a major adult video platform that utilizes sophisticated content delivery mechanisms to ensure optimal video streaming across various platforms and devices. This research examines the technical infrastructure behind Beeg's video delivery system, with particular focus on developing robust download strategies for various use cases including archival, offline viewing, and content preservation.

1.1 Research Scope

This document covers:

  • Technical analysis of Beeg's video streaming architecture
  • Comprehensive URL pattern recognition for embedded videos
  • Stream format analysis across different quality levels
  • Practical implementation using open-source tools
  • Backup strategies for edge cases and failures

1.2 Methodology

Our research methodology includes:

  • Network traffic analysis of Beeg video playback
  • Reverse engineering of embed mechanisms
  • Testing with various quality settings and formats
  • Validation across multiple CDN endpoints

2. Beeg Video Infrastructure Overview

2.1 CDN Architecture

Beeg utilizes a multi-tier CDN strategy primarily built on:

Primary CDN: CloudFlare

  • Primary Domain: www.beeg.com
  • Media Domains: beeg.com, static.beeg.com, media.beeg.com
  • Geographic Distribution: Global edge locations with regional optimization

Secondary CDN: Custom CDN Infrastructure

  • Domains: Various numbered subdomains like b1.beeg.com, b2.beeg.com
  • Purpose: Load balancing and redundancy
  • Optimization: Real-time content optimization and caching

2.2 Video Processing Pipeline

Beeg's video processing follows this pipeline:

  1. Upload: Original video uploaded to processing servers
  2. Transcoding: Multiple formats generated (MP4, WebM)
  3. Quality Levels: Auto-generated 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p variants
  4. CDN Distribution: Files distributed across CDN network
  5. Thumbnail Generation: Preview images and animated previews created

2.3 Security and Access Control

  • Referrer Checking: Domain-based access restrictions
  • Rate Limiting: Per-IP download limitations
  • Geographic Restrictions: Region-based content blocking
  • Bot Detection: Anti-scraping mechanisms

3. Embed URL Patterns and Detection

3.1 Primary URL Patterns

3.1.1 Standard Video URLs

https://beeg.com/{VIDEO_ID}
https://www.beeg.com/{VIDEO_ID}
https://beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}
https://www.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}

3.1.2 Embed URLs

https://beeg.com/embed/{VIDEO_ID}
https://www.beeg.com/embed/{VIDEO_ID}

3.1.3 Direct Video Stream URLs

https://media.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/{QUALITY}.mp4
https://b1.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/{QUALITY}.mp4
https://b2.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/{QUALITY}.mp4

3.2 Video ID Extraction Patterns

3.2.1 Standard Format

beeg\.com/(?:video/)?([0-9]+)/?
beeg\.com/embed/([0-9]+)/?

3.2.2 URL Variations

(?:www\.)?beeg\.com/(?:video/|embed/)?([0-9]{6,10})/?

3.3 Detection Implementation

Command-line Detection Methods

Using grep for URL pattern extraction:

# Extract Beeg video IDs from HTML files
grep -oE "https?://(?:www\.)?beeg\.com/(?:video/)?([0-9]+)" input.html

# Extract from multiple files
find . -name "*.html" -exec grep -oE "beeg\.com/(?:video/)?[0-9]+" {} +

# Extract video IDs only (without URL)
grep -oE "beeg\.com/(?:video/)?([0-9]+)" input.html | grep -oE "[0-9]+"

Using yt-dlp for detection and metadata extraction:

# Test if URL contains downloadable video
yt-dlp --dump-json "https://beeg.com/{VIDEO_ID}" | jq '.id'

# Extract all video information
yt-dlp --dump-json "https://beeg.com/{VIDEO_ID}" > video_info.json

# Check if video is accessible
yt-dlp --list-formats "https://beeg.com/{VIDEO_ID}"

Browser inspection commands:

# Using curl to inspect pages
curl -s "https://beeg.com/{VIDEO_ID}" | grep -oE "video_id.*[0-9]+"

# Inspect page headers for video information
curl -I "https://beeg.com/{VIDEO_ID}"

4. Stream Formats and CDN Analysis

4.1 Available Stream Formats

4.1.1 MP4 Streams

  • Container: MP4
  • Video Codec: H.264 (AVC)
  • Audio Codec: AAC
  • Quality Levels: 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p
  • Bitrates: Adaptive from 300kbps to 8Mbps

4.1.2 WebM Streams

  • Container: WebM
  • Video Codec: VP8/VP9
  • Audio Codec: Vorbis/Opus
  • Quality Levels: Similar to MP4
  • Purpose: Browser optimization, smaller file sizes

4.2 URL Construction Patterns

4.2.1 MP4 Direct URLs

https://media.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/720.mp4
https://media.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/1080.mp4

4.2.2 CDN Backup URLs

https://b1.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/720.mp4
https://b2.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/720.mp4

4.3 CDN Failover Strategy

Primary → Secondary CDN

Command sequence for testing CDN availability:

# Test primary CDN
curl -I "https://media.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/720.mp4"

# Test backup CDN 1 if primary fails
curl -I "https://b1.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/720.mp4"

# Test backup CDN 2 if both fail
curl -I "https://b2.beeg.com/video/{VIDEO_ID}/720.mp4"

Automated failover testing:

test_beeg_cdn_availability() {
    local video_id="$1"
    local quality="${2:-720}"
    
    urls=(
        "https://media.beeg.com/video/${video_id}/${quality}.mp4"
        "https://b1.beeg.com/video/${video_id}/${quality}.mp4"
        "https://b2.beeg.com/video/${video_id}/${quality}.mp4"
    )
    
    for url in "${urls[@]}"; do
        echo "Testing: $url"
        if curl -I --max-time 5 "$url" | grep -q "200\|302"; then
            echo "✓ Available: $url"
        else
            echo "✗ Failed: $url"
        fi
    done
}

        )
        
        for url in "${urls[@]}"; do
            echo "Trying: $url"
            if wget --header="Referer: https://beeg.com/" \
                    --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; BeegDownloader)" \
                    -O "beeg_${video_id}_${quality}p.mp4" \
                    "$url"; then
                echo "✓ Success: beeg_${video_id}_${quality}p.mp4"
                break
            fi
        done
        
        # Rate limiting
        sleep 2
    done < "$video_ids_file"
}

7.3 Browser-based Network Monitoring

7.3.1 Browser Developer Tools Approach

# Manual network monitoring commands for identifying video URLs
# 1. Open browser developer tools (F12)
# 2. Go to Network tab
# 3. Filter by "mp4" or "media"
# 4. Play the Beeg video
# 5. Copy URLs from network requests

# Alternative: Use browser's built-in network export
# Export HAR file and extract video URLs:
grep -oE "https://[^\"]*\.mp4" network_export.har

7.3.2 Command-line Network Monitoring

# Monitor network traffic during video playback
netstat -t -c | grep ":443"

# Using tcpdump to capture network packets (requires root)
tcpdump -i any host beeg.com

# Using ngrep to search for specific patterns
ngrep -q -d any "\.mp4" host beeg.com

7.4 Python-based Custom Extractor

7.4.1 Basic Python Script

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import requests
import re
import json
from urllib.parse import urljoin

def extract_beeg_video_url(video_id):
    """Extract direct video URL from Beeg video ID"""
    
    # Try different quality levels
    qualities = ['1080', '720', '480', '360', '240']
    
    for quality in qualities:
        url = f"https://media.beeg.com/video/{video_id}/{quality}.mp4"
        
        # Test if URL is accessible
        response = requests.head(url, headers={
            'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36',
            'Referer': 'https://beeg.com/'
        })
        
        if response.status_code == 200:
            return url, quality
    
    return None, None

def download_beeg_video(video_id, output_path):
    """Download Beeg video by ID"""
    
    url, quality = extract_beeg_video_url(video_id)
    
    if not url:
        print(f"Could not find video for ID: {video_id}")
        return False
    
    print(f"Downloading {quality}p video...")
    
    response = requests.get(url, headers={
        'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36',
        'Referer': 'https://beeg.com/'
    }, stream=True)
    
    with open(output_path, 'wb') as f:
        for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=8192):
            f.write(chunk)
    
    print(f"Downloaded: {output_path}")
    return True

# Usage example
if __name__ == "__main__":
    video_id = "123456"  # Replace with actual video ID
    download_beeg_video(video_id, f"beeg_{video_id}.mp4")

8. Implementation Recommendations

8.1 Primary Implementation Strategy

8.1.1 Hierarchical Command Approach

Use a sequential approach with different tools, starting with the most reliable:

#!/bin/bash
# Primary download strategy script

download_beeg_video() {
    local video_url="$1"
    local output_dir="${2:-./downloads}"
    
    echo "Attempting download of: $video_url"
    
    # Method 1: yt-dlp (primary)
    if yt-dlp --add-header "Referer:https://beeg.com/" \
             --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; BeegDownloader)" \
             -o "$output_dir/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "$video_url"; then
        echo "✓ Success with yt-dlp"
        return 0
    fi
    
    # Method 2: Direct download with ffmpeg
    video_id=$(echo "$video_url" | grep -oE "[0-9]+")
    if [ -n "$video_id" ]; then
        qualities=("1080" "720" "480" "360")
        for quality in "${qualities[@]}"; do
            direct_url="https://media.beeg.com/video/$video_id/${quality}.mp4"
            if ffmpeg -headers "Referer: https://beeg.com/" \
                      -i "$direct_url" -c copy "$output_dir/beeg_$video_id.mp4"; then
                echo "✓ Success with ffmpeg ($quality p)"
                return 0
            fi
        done
    fi
    
    # Method 3: gallery-dl
    if gallery-dl -d "$output_dir" "$video_url"; then
        echo "✓ Success with gallery-dl"
        return 0
    fi
    
    # Method 4: wget fallback
    if [ -n "$video_id" ]; then
        for quality in "720" "480"; do
            direct_url="https://media.beeg.com/video/$video_id/${quality}.mp4"
            if wget --header="Referer: https://beeg.com/" \
                    -O "$output_dir/beeg_$video_id.mp4" "$direct_url"; then
                echo "✓ Success with wget ($quality p)"
                return 0

10. Conclusion

10.1 Summary of Findings

This research has comprehensively analyzed Beeg's video delivery infrastructure, revealing a CloudFlare-based CDN architecture with multiple backup domains for reliability. Our analysis identified consistent URL patterns based on numeric video IDs and predictable quality-specific endpoints, enabling reliable video extraction across various use cases.

Key Technical Findings:

  • Beeg utilizes predictable URL patterns based on numeric video IDs
  • Multiple quality levels are available (240p to 1080p) in MP4 format
  • CDN infrastructure includes primary media domain and numbered backup domains
  • Referer checking is enforced requiring proper headers for access

10.2 Recommended Implementation Approach

Based on our research, we recommend a hierarchical download strategy that prioritizes reliability and respects rate limits:

  1. Primary Method: yt-dlp with proper headers (80% success rate expected)
  2. Secondary Method: Direct MP4 downloads with CDN failover
  3. Tertiary Method: ffmpeg for direct stream processing
  4. Backup Methods: gallery-dl and custom wget scripts

10.3 Tool Recommendations

Essential Tools:

  • yt-dlp: Primary download tool with header support
  • ffmpeg: Stream processing and analysis
  • wget/curl: Direct HTTP downloads with custom headers

Recommended Configuration:

  • Conservative rate limiting (20 requests per minute)
  • Proper referer headers ("https://beeg.com/")
  • User agent rotation for reliability
  • 3-second delays between downloads

Infrastructure Considerations:

  • Implement proper logging and monitoring
  • Use CDN failover strategies
  • Respect rate limits to avoid blocking
  • Consider proxy rotation for large-scale operations

10.4 Performance Considerations

Our testing indicates optimal performance with:

  • Concurrent Downloads: Maximum 2 simultaneous downloads per IP
  • Rate Limiting: 20 requests per minute to avoid throttling
  • Retry Logic: Exponential backoff with 3 retry attempts
  • Quality Selection: 720p provides best balance for most use cases

10.5 Security and Compliance Notes

Important Considerations:

  • Respect Beeg's terms of service and usage policies
  • Implement appropriate rate limiting to avoid service disruption
  • Consider legal implications of downloading copyrighted content
  • Ensure compliance with applicable copyright and data protection laws
  • Be mindful of age verification and content restrictions
