Saving from Upornia without screen recording

Upornia gives viewers no way to keep a video, so watching it again means streaming it again. Upornia Video Downloader adds that missing step. Open a video page, start playback, hit the button the extension puts on the player, choose a quality, and an MP4 is written to your computer. You don't need to screen-record or dig through network traffic yourself.

Why generic tools miss Upornia videos

The extension is written for this one site, so it looks in the places Upornia actually keeps its sources:

• the media format list inside Upornia's player settings
• HTML5 video tags on the page
• URLs embedded in page scripts
• the page's network requests
• Performance API entries

It copes with plain MP4 files as well as HLS adaptive streams. HLS is turned into MP4 inside your browser, and when the same video exists as both MP4 and HLS, MP4 is preferred.

Starting a save from the player, toolbar or menu

• The button inside supported Upornia player containers.
• The toolbar popup.
• The right-click entry "Download Upornia Video".

Each opens a quality list ordered by resolution, best option first. A built-in download manager then shows progress, speed, retry state and completion, and desktop notifications report the result even when the popup is closed.

Where files go

Direct MP4 downloads save on their own into a Downloads/Upornia folder, so the archive stays sorted. HLS downloads are converted first and may then ask where to save them through a save-as dialog.

Before you rely on it

• Press play first: the active stream can't be detected until playback starts.
• Leave the source tab open while a longer HLS video is processed.
• The available qualities are whatever the Upornia player offers for that video.
• Saves happen per video, on a page you navigated to yourself. Bulk export of profiles, playlists or categories isn't part of it.
• Live streams can't be captured, and DRM-protected or inaccessible videos are out of scope.
• Only download videos you legitimately have access to.
• Covers Upornia.com plus supported subdomains, as long as the page uses a player format it recognizes.

Browsers, systems and region

Upornia Video Downloader has a desktop build for each of these browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Whale and Yandex, each on Windows, macOS or Linux. Safari and mobile browsers can't run it. It is available worldwide.

Privacy and permissions

Detection, conversion and saving all take place on your device, and no video data is uploaded. The only remote calls are for activation (a one-time code sent by email), update checks and the activation API.

• downloads: saves finished MP4 files and keeps the download manager up to date.
• storage: remembers your activation, preferred quality and the downloader's own state across browser restarts.
• activeTab: confines detection and controls to the Upornia tab in front of you.
• notifications: pops up a desktop message on success or failure, which is why the popup can be closed mid-download.
• contextMenus: adds the "Download Upornia Video" right-click entry on supported pages.
• tabs: ties progress tracking to the right video tab while you keep browsing.
• offscreen: runs the HLS-to-MP4 conversion in a background context.

FAQ

Upornia video open, play pressed: which button saves it?

Open the video page and press play so the stream loads. Then click the player button, open the toolbar popup or choose "Download Upornia Video" from the right-click menu, pick a quality, and the MP4 is saved.

Where does the list of Upornia qualities come from?

The extension gathers renditions from the player settings, HTML5 media tags, script URLs and live stream requests, keeps the ones that work, and lists them by resolution with the top one first.

If Upornia serves HLS instead of a plain file, what format do I end up with?

Every download ends up as MP4. Direct MP4 sources are saved straight away, while HLS streams are converted inside the browser before the file is written.

After saving, where on my disk should I look for the Upornia files?

Look in the browser's usual Downloads location; the extension creates an Upornia subfolder there for them.

Are Upornia subdomains covered?

Yes, Upornia.com and its supported subdomains are included in the host permissions, provided the page uses a player format the extension recognizes.

Could I export a full Upornia category or profile at once?

No. You save videos individually, each from a page you opened; there's no bulk export for profiles, playlists or categories.

Will it install on Whale or Yandex Browser?

Yes. Desktop builds cover Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Whale and Yandex on Windows, macOS and Linux. It won't run in Safari or in any mobile browser.

The popup says no video was found. What should I try?

Start the video playing so the player exposes the active stream, then open the popup again or click the player button. If it still comes up empty, reload the page and give the player time to finish initializing.

What are the tab, offscreen and download permissions actually used for?

Together they let the extension inspect the player, place its button inside the page, keep the download manager in step across tabs, convert HLS to MP4 in a background context and write the file to disk.

Does Upornia Video Downloader collect my viewing data?

No. Finding and converting streams happens locally, and no video data leaves your computer. The only outbound calls it makes are for activation, the activation API and checking for updates.

Is there a sign-in step before Upornia downloads work?

Activation uses a secure sign-in: you enter your email and confirm it with a one-time password sent there.
