FetchV - Video Downloader for m3u8 & hls
The video downloader for saving web videos and live streams. Features: 1. Supports HLS video (streaming video indexed by m3u8 file), integrating all media fragments into a single MP4 file. 2. Supports HLS live streaming. 3. Supports videos or live streams with a 'blob' prefix in the player's src address. For such media, when the actual media address cannot be detected, the "recording mode" can be used to convert the buffered data into an MP4 file. 4. Supports various static videos or audios that can be played on web pages, such as MP4, WEBM, etc. 5. Supports streaming MP4 (HLS v7, may add support for "MPEG-DASH" in the future). 6. Uses multi-thread downloading, which can significantly increase the download speed in good network conditions, very useful for downloading large files. 7. Supports switching resolutions, available when the HLS video's m3u8 file provides multiple resolutions. 8. Provides media preview, if multiple media are captured on a page, you can confirm your target through the preview. 9. Provides a feature-rich download interface, where you can know the download speed, progress, and perform operations like switching download threads, switching resolutions, and modifying file names. 10. All the work of this tool is done in your browser, without using any third-party servers to transmit or convert media data. Notes: 1. This tool is only applicable to videos that comply with technical standards, and it does not work for videos using non-standard playback technologies. It does not have special adaptations for specific websites. 2. It does not support encrypted videos, and we are not responsible for any media you download. It is recommended to check the copyright of the media before downloading. 3. Although this tool has been adapted to popular web videos, it cannot guarantee absolute success in the adapted scope.

Live Stream Downloader
Detect and Download M3U8 HLS Streams (HTTP Live Stream) in multiple threads to your local disk This extension detects M3U8 streaming formats on the active tab and offers to download these segmented streams as a single file to the user's local disk. This extension detects all possible video qualities and uses direct disk writing to store segments. So there is no need to have a recovery plan from a possible crash. Your data is written instantly to the local file and is ready to use. It also merges all segments automatically when the file is fetched. To improve download capability, the extension also sets the referrer header of the original page. This extension uses multiple threads to download the HLS stream to increase the downloading speed and stability. Also, it supports resuming the download process when there is a network failure (Thanks to the TDM.JS engine). How to use it: 1. Go to a streaming website like https://videojs.com/ 2. Wait until the toolbar color changes 3. Click on the toolbar button once to select a quality 4. Wait until the download is over. You can see the progress as a badge text. Features: 1. Download HSL Streams 2. Detect any audio, video, or media streams on the active tab 3. Uses multi-threading to increase download speed 4. Write directly to the disk 5. Supports detecting many audio and video formats 6. Retries several times to fetch each segment even if downloading is broken or you get disconnected from the internet for a short period. 7. Keep awake while downloading a file (this feature is optional; use Ctrl + P or Command + P when the interface is open to enable it) 8. Download any arbitrary file with multiple threads and network failure protection (copy the link and use Ctrl + V or Command + V to add it as a new job to the interface) 9. Unlimited retires. The extension uses multiple threads to fetch the data as fast as possible. If a thread breaks, the extension retries several times to reconnect to the server. Even after multiple tries, the extension pauses the downloading process and displays a prompt to resume when the network issue is fixed. 10. Suitable to download very large files for two reasons: 1) It is the fastest downloader because of multiple thread fetching. 2) it writes directly to the disk, so there is no need to move the file from the internal storage to the local disk later. Use Cases: 1. You want to store a multi-segmented stream to your local disk for later use. 2. On an unstable network, you can use this extension to fetch a video file and start watching it with your media player even when it is not yet fully downloaded. Extra Features: 1. You can download any file with this tool. Just drag and drop the link to the interface. Since it uses multiple simultaneous threads to fetch data, you can get the file a lot faster. Also, the downloader is protecting you against network failures and resumes interrupted downloads. 2. This downloader writes directly to the disk and can handle a download speed of about 300 MBytes / seconds. This is the best you can get even with native download managers.

I read reports daily and often ship fixes or new website support the next day, when reports include enough details. If something does not work, send a report from the extension instead of leaving a bad review. Reports help me fix real problems, and we both benefit from it; bad reviews help you relieve frustration but usually do not include enough data to debug anything... Use MAX responsibly and only download content you have the right to save.
