Content Library & Media Explorer

UltimaScraper features an integrated Content Library that allows operators to browse, filter, preview, and play back preserved media assets directly within the browser interface.

Exploring Preserved Content

Navigate to Content in the primary navigation drawer to enter the media browser:

Filtering & Search Controls

  • Performer Filter: Restrict the view to one or more specific creators.
  • Media Type Toggles: Filter by Photos, Videos, Audio Clips, or Text Posts.
  • Full-Text Caption Search: Search through post bodies, message text, and image metadata.
  • Date Range Picker: Locate media captured within specific historical windows.

Content Cards & Media Lightbox

Clicking any content card reveals comprehensive metadata and opens the high-resolution lightbox:

  • Original Post Context: View the post caption, creation timestamp, like counts, and comments count.
  • File Details: Displays the local filesystem path, file size, MIME type, resolution, and SHA256 checksum.
  • Direct Actions:
  • Open Local Directory: Shows the exact storage directory on disk.
  • Re-download / Verify: Re-verifies file checksum against the database record.
  • Copy Link: Shares an internal media preview URL.

Protected Media & Widevine DRM Decryption

Certain premium platforms distribute video content encrypted with Widevine Content Decryption Modules (DRM):

  1. Automated Decryption: During scrape jobs, if a stream is encrypted (CENC / Widevine), workers extract the PSSH header, request licensing keys from the platform, and automatically decrypt video and audio streams using ffmpeg and decryption binaries.
  2. Device Registration:
  3. Navigate to Settings → DRM Devices.
  4. Upload your Widevine Content Decryption Module files (client_id.bin and private_key.pem).
  5. The backend validates the CDM version and assigns it to download workers automatically.

Filesystem Storage Layout

Media files are organized deterministically across your configured storage drives:
