How to Download Soap2day Movies & Shows [Full Guide]

Key Takeaways:

• To smoothly download a Soap2day video, it’s better to install an extension to grab the m3u8 link, and then use a full-fledged video processing app to save the video to any popular format via the link.
• For convenience, you can just try video downloader extensions. It's just that they are unstable and sometimes don’t stay at 1080p.

Soap2Day is a hot spot for users to watch the latest movies, TV shows and episodes online without paying. But it's hard to download videos from Soap2Day. Although the web version offers a "Download in HD" button for each video, clicking it does nothing. Also, you can't find the full MP4 file directly from DevTools because Soap2Day splits the video into encrypted streaming segments. Now what? Read the article to learn 3 proven and effective methods to download Soap2Day movies or shows.

Guide to help you download videos from Soap2day with the software:

Step 1. Copy Soap2day video link.

1. Go to https://chromewebstore.google.com/, search for The Stream Detector and install it on Chrome or Firefox.
2. Find the "Extensions" icon at the top right of your browser and pin The Stream Detector.
3. Play a Soap2day movie or show, and the tool will immediately get the m3u8 link.
4. Click on the extension tool icon, right-click on the file name, and select “Copy Link Address”. Note: The link named master.m3u8 contains all video resolution options.

Step 2. Launch Cisdem Video Converter. Click on the third icon at the top of the interface to enter the module for downloading videos.

Step 3. Paste the copied m3u8 URL into the bottom input box. Press Enter to analyze the URL and wait for the video to load.

Tip: To batch parse, e.g. parse all episodes of a TV show at once, click on the “+” icon at the bottom left. Then, paste multiple links in the popup text box.

Step 4. Select the desired resolution in the "Format" list (Best is selected by default), then click "Start" to batch download all added Soap2day videos as MP4 (encoded with H264).

Want to re-encode Soap2day video or extract audio from it?

2. Click on the first icon to navigate to the conversion interface.

4. Choose any video/audio format, or re-encode H264 MP4 to HEVC MP4. Finally, do a batch conversion.

Use Soap2day Video Downloader Extension on Chrome/Edge

Since Chrome and Edge are both Chromium-based and popular browsers, they share many of the same Soap2day downloader extensions, such as MPMux, Cococut, and FetchV.

However, Chrome Web Store’s review process is stricter than Edge’s, Soap2day movie downloaders often behave erratically in Chrome, showing “Access has been blocked”, “Fetch Error”, etc.

Whereas Edge allows extensions to gain higher permissions. It can generally save a Soap2day video without a hitch. The downside is that a few 1080p videos may max out at 720p on Edge.

Here is an example of downloading from Soap2day using MPMux:

1. Open https://mpmux.com/ in Chrome or Edge.
2. Add the extension to your browser and fix it to the toolbar.
3. Play your favorite Soap2day movie until MPMux detects the video and displays the numbers.
4. Hit the extension icon, then click the "Download HLS" button next to master.m3u8. The video will be downloaded in a new tab at the highest resolution.

Get Soap2day Movies and Series with Firefox Add-on

There aren't many plugins that can download Soap2day videos on Firefox. But I was pleasantly surprised to find Live Stream Downloader, powered by chandler.stimson, which can download 1080p MKV movies from Soap2day. Chrome version allows TS clip download, and Edge compatibility is broken. If you don't mind the final format not being MP4, give it a shot.

Steps:

1. Visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/live-stream-downloader/ in Firefox browser and install it.
2. Find Live Stream Downloader in the "Extensions" list on the toolbar, click the gear > "Pin to Toolbar".
3. Play any free movie and TV show from Soap2day website. Wait for extension to grab it.
4. Click on the Live Stream Downloader icon. In the pop-up window, select to download master option.
5. Select one stream based on quality. You can now sit tight while the download completes.

Additional Info Regarding Soap2day Download

Can VLC play and download Soap2day movies?

VLC can play Soap2day videos. After opening the program, click “File” > “Open Network Stream” (Windows) or “Open Network” (Mac) in the menu bar, then paste the m3u8 link obtained in Step 1 into it and start playing. But when I used it to download and convert a Soap2day movie, I waited for a long time and only got the first 9 seconds of the video.

Any online Soap2day video downloader that really works?

I haven't found any tools for downloading video from soap2day online. Sites like Y2Mate can occasionally detect trailers for soap2day movies, but can't actually download them.

Can users download subtitles from Soap2day videos?

Soap2day's video subtitles are rarely in .srt format, but mostly in .vtt format. Before downloading, switch the playback subtitles to your desired language.

Way one: Use The Stream Detector and Live Stream Downloader extension mentioned above. They can also detect subtitle links. Copy the link, open it in a new tab, and hold Ctrl + S to save it.

Way two: Use DevTools. But when I tried to view the Soap2day video source, the page automatically triggered the “Debugger Paused“. I recommend using Firefox, which usually has weak anti-debugging detection.

1. On the video page, press F12 to bring up Firefox Inspect.
2. Click the “Debugger” tab. Find “Breakpoints” on the right, then uncheck all boxes.
3. Refresh the page, reopen Inspect, search for srt or vtt in "Network", and double-click to download the file.

Final Words

The original Soap2day domain has been blocked. What you found are its mirror sites. Alternatives include YTS, Popcornflix, 123Movies, EZTV, RARBG, etc., but they are also involved in copyright infringement. To be safe, do not distribute downloaded movies and TV shows. Or go to streaming platforms such as Netflix, Crackle, and Pluto TV to watch latest movies for a fee.
