service name & description

This is a very general request, but I wanted to know if downloading videos longer than 180 minutes will be possible in the near future.

additional context

If it's not possible with this program, can anyone suggest a good program that can do it?

It's already possible, you just need to run your own instance and set the DURATION_LIMIT variable to a bigger number than 10800.

Do you know if any of the other publicly available cobalt instances support this already?

Anyone know of any cobalt instance that allows downloading videos longer than 180 minutes? (Running my own instance is not within my range of experience 😔).

no one will handle streaming 3+ hour videos for you, it’s resource intensive and will hurt experience for everyone else. you gotta host your own api instance.
