Why AppsCyborg for Rai
Built around how Rai actually serves media
RaiPlay's catalogue rotates rather than expiring on a fixed clock — a programme can sit online for years or vanish in a fortnight, and there is no schedule published. That unpredictability is the argument for keeping a copy. We resolve the RaiPlay page to its manifest and mux video and audio into one MP4.
Nothing to install
No browser extension, no desktop app, no APK. Rai links are handled server-side, so the same page works on a work laptop you cannot install software on and on a phone.
Kept at source quality
We hand you the stream Rai published rather than re-encoding it down to a smaller file. What arrives is what was uploaded, not a second-generation copy.
No ads and no decoy buttons
One button that does what it says. No overlay ads, no fake Download that opens a tab, no push-notification prompt. AppsCyborg is paid, so the page has nothing to sell you on the way past.
Downloading from Rai — questions
Is downloading from Rai allowed?
That depends on the material and on where you are, and it is your call to make. Downloading your own uploads, or material published under a licence that permits it, is normally fine. Redistributing someone else's copyrighted work is not. AppsCyborg is a tool; it does not grant you rights you did not already have, and you stay responsible for what you download.
What file do I get from a Rai link?
An MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio at the best rendition RaiPlay publishes, commonly 1080p on recent programmes and lower on archive material. Italian subtitles are muxed in where Rai provides them.
What happens when Rai changes something?
Most RaiPlay content is geo-restricted to Italy and requests from elsewhere fail with that reason. Rai also revises its manifest paths periodically; the extractor is updated against the live site.
Do I need to install anything to download from Rai?
No. There is no extension, no app and no command line. You paste a Rai link into the box on this page and get a file back. It works the same in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, on desktop and mobile.
What does it cost?
A day pass is €1 and covers 24 hours. A year is €6, and lifetime access is a single €30 payment. There is no free tier and no trial — the paid account is what keeps the site free of ads and the queue short.
