Daum Tvpot (다음 TV팟) is a South Korean video website owned by Kakao Corporation, which has (effectively) acquired a Daum portal site which originally had the video website. It consists of multiple sections, of which a major portion is a public video hosting at http://tvpot.daum.net/v/<videoid>.

On December 19, 2016, Kakao announced that Tvpot will merge into Kakao TV (Korean), and the public video hosting will cease by June 30, 2017. The corporation itself will only allow the backup of videos you have uploaded; if you don't or can't request the backup for some reason, it's gone forever. As it was one of the major video hosting website in Korea this represents a major blunder for users, and we hereby want to collect everything public before it goes to limbo.

Technical Information

  • Sequential ID assigned to both public and non-public videos (it is also used for hosting videos for the portal)
  • Max video ID is somewhere around 82,000,000
    • In the initial sampling by User:lifthrasiir public videos takes about 10--20% of all video IDs, which translates to 10--15M public videos
  • The links to available videos per resolution are located at http://kakaotv.daum.net/api/v1/ft/cliplinks/<videoid>/raw, but it would require the session ID from the video page
  • The actual video is located at tvpot.cdn.videofarm.daum.net
