Download fragmented media files with HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) downloader.
HLS Downloader lets you easily download fragmented media files (with .ts file extension) from the internet.
HLS or HTTP Live Steam is a new media format developed by Apple Inc. It contains a master playlist with the ".m3u8" file extension. First, the extension downloads the master playlist, and then within the master, it finds playlist content. Each playlist has several fragmented items. All items are displayed in the UI with a download and a remove button. When you press the download button the extension downloads all fragmented media and merges them all to generate a single media file.
Note 1: the interface for the extension can be opened in a new tab or a separate window. Please right-click on the toolbar button to choose the appropriate context. Within the UI, there is a toggle button to turn the addon ON or OFF. Moreover, to switch the interface theme to dark, please press the moon icon in the bottom toolbar.
Note 2: HLS Downloader is NOT responsible for media content that you download with this add-on. We strongly recommend that you verify the related media copyright permissions on each website before downloading any media file(s).
Note 3: to download the HLS stream you gave 3 options. (1) To add a stream URL manually, please enter the desired URL with the ".m3u8" file extension in the UI. (2) As you browse the internet, this extension monitors the webpages and captures all HLS media files, and if anything is found, automatically downloads the playlist and updates the badge number accordingly (only when the addon is turned ON). The 3rd option for downloading the HLS stream is via the context-menu item. Please right-click on ".m3u8" streams and then select - Download with HLS Downloader - from the context menu.
If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill out the bug report form on the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/hls-downloader.html).

- Confusing UI and it took me some fidgeting to get it working. But HEY! it works!
- Ashoka Bhat

- working with one website I tried.
- Oliver Gransee
- Until recently, everything worked perfectly. You could record up to three tabs in a browser simultaneously, and I was completely thrilled and satisfied; it did everything I wanted. For some time now, nothing has worked at all. I'm very disappointed and considered uninstalling it. I hope for improvements and browser adaptations.

- DOES NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

- My god, This saved me. It works well. I wonder why there are a lot of negative comments here
- Mike G
- Just installed and did my first HLS download. It worked . My only criticism is the interface was a bit confusing. I had to study it to do the download / save. I'm a tech nerd but I can see a non tech user getting confused. Otherwise I'm pinning this to my extension panel and will use it frequently. Still, there are a lot of negative reviews and failures here. I wonder what the issue is people are having?
- Cheng Chong
- terrible interface and files are corrupt.
- Андрей Кузнецов
- Great extension, finds and downloads everything. Very light (only 100kb) compared to its analogs. The only small disadvantage is that it doesn't know how to assign a tab name to a downloaded video file.
- Aran Rezaie Harzandi
- Great for downloading from non-downloadable websites!!! Thank you god bless who made this 💐💐🌹
- Red Scorpion
- After many hours of stream, it shows "Network Error" and can not download the video it recorded. Very rare will download a rescued video but it is rare as Haley's Comet. This happens very often the last months. In the past it work great. Now it disappoints.

- The Tess-Shocker
- Not sure if its the video or the extension but sometimes when i download something its choppy at places, like for a minute it would be a smooth video, then it will get choppy for a few seconds and continue normally, but then the whole process would repeat itself :/
- nerdError
- Definitely not a universal thing, but worked for me for a few times and it is already much better than most chrome extensions lol. And in general, nice UI, nice progress display, pleasure to use

- ! T H e 1 o N e ! Exactly as 'Ryan Michael' described... This is the ONLY extension I got to work downloading the m3u8 file I needed. When nothing else worked, and let me tell you - I tried everything... I downloaded this extension in desperation. I copied my m3u8 link into the extension, hit download, the .ts chunks were downloaded, and I was delivered with a full file that worked and opened perfectly in my media player. ! T H N X !

- это не чистый плагин а мини браузер . Нихрена он не может с редтубэ и подобных сайтов...

- Unclear what it was doing, ended up with 6 copies testing this extension before it became clear to me that it's just dropping things in the default download dir without any sort of notification. The file naming once more is a mess and we get this weird .ts file extension slapped onto the downloads. No option for changing the file name before it's dropped in the default download dir. Still not found a better alternative for Stream Downloader in fact this may be the worse so far checking out the related extensions.
