Hello,
Unfortunately , Extension is not working

Perplexity Response after Checking the File :

You have provided the required icon images (icon16.jpg, icon48.jpg, icon128.jpg)[5][6][7], and your folder also includes all the necessary files (manifest.json, content.js, popup.html, popup.js). However, your manifest.json is malformed and will not load as-is.

Problems in Your manifest.json

• The icons and content_scripts fields are incorrectly nested inside the "action" block.
• content_scripts is not formatted as an array of objects.
• The file is missing closing braces and has improper structure.

---

Corrected manifest.json

Copy and replace your current manifest.json content with the following:

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "SharePoint Video Downloader",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "Download videos from SharePoint and Microsoft Streams easily",
  "permissions": [
    "activeTab",
    "storage",
    "clipboardWrite"
  ],
  "host_permissions": [
    "*://*.sharepoint.com/*",
    "*://*.microsoftstream.com/*",
    "*://*.office.com/*"
  ],
  "action": {
    "default_popup": "popup.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "images/icon16.png",
      "48": "images/icon48.png",
      "128": "images/icon128.png"
    }
  },
  "icons": {
    "16": "images/icon16.png",
    "48": "images/icon48.png",
    "128": "images/icon128.png"
  },
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": [
        "*://*.sharepoint.com/*",
        "*://*.microsoftstream.com/*",
        "*://*.office.com/*"
      ],
      "js": ["content.js"]
    }
  ]
}

---

What To Do Next

1. Replace your current manifest.json with the corrected version above.
2. Move your icon files (icon16.jpg, icon48.jpg, icon128.jpg) into an images folder inside your extension directory.
   • Your folder structure should look like this:

     extension-folder/
       manifest.json
       popup.html
       popup.js
       content.js
       images/
         icon16.png (rename .jpg to .png if possible)
         icon48.png
         icon128.png
     

   • If you keep them as .jpg, update the manifest to use .jpg instead of .png in the icon paths.
3. Reload the extension in Chrome using "Load unpacked" and select your extension folder.

---

If Your Icons Are .jpg Instead of .png

If you want to keep the icons as .jpg, update the relevant lines in the manifest like this:

"default_icon": {
  "16": "images/icon16.jpg",
  "48": "images/icon48.jpg",
  "128": "images/icon128.jpg"
},
"icons": {
  "16": "images/icon16.jpg",
  "48": "images/icon48.jpg",
  "128": "images/icon128.jpg"
}

---

Summary:

• Fix your manifest.json structure as above.
• Place your icon files in the correct path and update the manifest if needed.
• Reload the extension; it should now load without errors.

Answer from Perplexity: pplx.ai/share

Works beautifully. Remove everything from the URL after and including the & at ...format=dash&...

Paste the URL into yt-dlp 'URL' -o <your-destination-file-name>.mp4 .. without the -o option yt-dlp will complain about the filename being too long.

Thanks Very Much

It's Finally Worked like a Charm

yt-dlp "The Manifest URL to ......&part=index&format=dash" -o DesiredVideoName.mp4

Note : You May Export and Get the Cookies File

And the Downloaded File Will be available at "C:\Users\Your_User_Folder"

@shebenu Yes, It can work for ms stream , just do those steps

1. Run video from SharePoint corporate account or OneDrive,
2. In Chrome open Web inspector and in Network filter by videomanifest
3. Copy this url
4. Go to notepad and paste this url
5. Delete the section starts with "&alt...." till the end of the url
6. Copy the new url
7. Go to windows powershell and run it as admin..
8. Write this command
   ffmpef -i "new url" - videoname.mp4
   AND JUST WAIT!

it still works ;-)

2. videomanifest

But didn't find any URL to copy. The "videomanifest" is just an empty search.

It is a Google Chrome extension. The current master commit is working fine for me. You can download and unzip the extension by https://github.com/MexxDirkx/SharePoint-Video-Downloader-Extension/archive/refs/heads/main.zip. Once unzipped go to chrome://extensions/ using Google Chrome and enable Developer mode on the top right corner, click Load unpacked, go to the unzipped folder and click select. You should see the extension enabled.

Go to the Sharepoint video page you would like to download and click the extension icon then Detect video and copy the generated FFMPEG command to download the video.

this still works for me, some notes:

• copy the url fully decoded/raw (no escapes)
• copy the url up to the query param &format=dash
• from that url, remove the query param cTag (the one that has quotes in its value)
• i'm on windows terminal, so i put quotes around the url; idk if i needed to remove the cTag also because of this, i tried escaping those quotes with "" but it failed anyway, so i tried to just remove cTag and it worked

Is there any way to download other files like pdf, word?

For anyone using ffmepg by default ffmpeg automatically picks the first or lowest index, stream. SharePoint has the lowest quality streams being the first index and the highest quality streams are the higher indexes.

If you'd like higher quality streams use ffprobe then ffmpeg.

ffprobe -i "VIDEO_MANIFEST_URL" -show_streams

Identify the best video and audio stream indexes

then ffmpeg -i "VIDEO_MANIFEST_URL_HERE" -map 0:3 -map 0:7 -c copy output.mp4 (Replace 3 and 7 with your desired video and audio stream indexes)

Great answer! I hope it reduces the downloaded file, since my specific situation has 3 video and 4 audio streams. Testing it right now. Thanks!

update:
Despite the error at the end, I can watch the video.

until dash work for me

@Adamus2396 @guangxuanliu @IronWill2024 @vitkolar This solution works for me for sharepoint videos, it uses yt-dlp downloader
yt-dlp "URL until dash" -o "video.mp4"

Thank u. it work!

Error: This video is DRM protected :(

Error: Error when loading first fragment of playlist

Is there a method to speed up the download

I created a desktop application in C# WPF for easy downloading.
