How to download a video from website given direct URL - java

I am currently in the process of developing a Java program that downloads/streams some anime videos:
I want to download the video from:
https://animetwist.net/a/swordartonline/25
I was able to find the direct link to the video:
https://animetwist.net/mount/swordartonline/swordartonline25.mp4
but I have no idea how I could download or stream that video from this java application I'm creating. I have no idea where to start and all the questions I find are related to YouTube videos and not other videos.
What I know/have tried:
VGet - Only for Youtube/Vimeo only...
Xuggler - I tried but don't understand how I could use it to download videos
Any help or a point in the correct direction would be much helpful. I don't exactly understand how it would work. The perfect solution would be something in pure java, but using addons are fine as well.
Sorry if my question is unclear, post a comment below and I'll try to answer it as best I can, thanks for your time.

If you just want to download a file from a URL you do it like any other file in Java. There are several good options for accomplishing this task here.

Android Studio Reading php

My android app needs to take string from this site http://oklagija.net/rss.php
I looked all over the internet, but none of solutions worked for me. I can read from .xml files and others, but it is not working on .php
If you have any piece of code that actually worked on .php, please help!
You might want to export the strings of the site using a php class SimpleXMLElement();

Java Desktop Capture

I want to continuously capture the entire desktop inside of a java application. As I'm capturing, I'd like to chunk the stream of data into small video files (mp4, WebM) for storage. From my research, it would seem that the Robot Java class and the FFmpeg tool are my best options. However, Robot seems to best-fit the use case of obtaining images, not videos. FFmpeg seems like it may support this, but I've struggled to find definitive documentation. I'm looking to emulate what can be done through Chrome's getUserMedia and desktopCapture APIs along with the MediaStreamRecorder JavaScript library. Does anyone have a suggestion for a similar and elegant solution in Java?

Java Screenshot of multiple webpages

i'm not going to post any code here because i don't know how to start doing it. Actually I need your help...
I am working with java (using netbeans, btw) and I have a database with multiple urls in a table (MySQL), and i want to get a screenshot of every url listed there, save it to my pc and then insert that screenshot (jpeg) in the url table. I was looking here on stackoverflow but i had no answer (not an automatic one, because i have to open a web browser and the aplication is supposed to be a standalone app) (The other option i found in this article -> (this) is unavailable.
In the same article i've read about the Flying Saucer Project, and maybe is the best option, but i have no idea of how to use it and i don't want to waste valious time reading every single thing that the project can do... so i'd appreciate a quick tutorial of how to use it.
Please, if u can post some code here would be great, but at least i'd like an answer of how to do this, or mambe some suggestions, that would be nice too. THANKS EVERYBODY.
You should take a look at CutyCapt:
CutyCapt is a small cross-platform command-line utility to capture WebKit's rendering of a web page into a variety of vector and bitmap formats, including SVG, PDF, PS, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, and BMP. See IECapt for a similar tool based on Internet Explorer.
Just execute the application from within your Java application. See Running Command Line in Java. The result would be something like::
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(String.format("./CutyCapt --url=%s --out=%s",
url, path));

Accessing video content from a website

I need to download lecture videos from mediasite.com. Using this guide, I have been able to do so by saving the site locally and then getting the video url from the "manifest.js" file. However, since this method is long and convoluted, I would like to just be able to script the whole thing.
What tools do I need to complete these three steps:
Go to the lecture site
Extract video url from manifest.js file
Download the video
I've been told that using cURL or the .net lib in java might do the trick but I honestly don't know where to start. Would appreciate any help. Thanks

How to get Video file summary in java

In windows, we can see the properties of the Video file such as Title , Subject , Author. I just want to get the Summary (Title , Subject , Author) in java coding. How to read these properties in java. I have searched but i didnt get clear. if any one know how to slove it. plz guide me. plz tell the which Jar to use and sample coding if possible.
see Java Media Framework [JMF] : http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/
I'm not aware of any particular library that does this, but of course you should be aware that there is no such thing as "a video file"; the choice of audio and video codecs as well as the container format will vary wildly between different video files, and hence what is supported.
However, I suspect that the Java Media Framework would be a good place to start. This would also give you a better understanding of what files are supported, and the limitations of the technology.
