HLS / M3U8 Stream Downloader

Download HLS streams (.m3u8 links) directly in your browser. Segments are downloaded and combined without quality loss.

How HLS Downloader Works

HLS streams serve video sliced into hundreds of tiny binary segments (`.ts` files) indexed by a playlist manifest (`.m3u8`).

This downloader parses that manifest index, fetches those individual segments in parallel directly, and concatenates them sequentially into a single file in memory.

Note: The source host must allow CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) requests, otherwise files cannot be fetched directly in the browser.
