FAQ
What are HLS and M3U8?
HLS stands for HTTP Live Streaming, and M3U8 is an index file that contains information about the segments of a streaming video. Currently, most online videos are HLS streaming videos. This M3U8 Downloader works by downloading video segments through the M3U8 file and then merging them into an MP4 file.
Can this M3U8 Downloader download any M3U8 videos?
No! This downloader is only suitable for M3U8 videos that use standard video playback technology. It may not work for M3U8 videos that use unconventional playback technology, encryption, or live streaming. If you encounter a situation where direct downloading is not possible, you can try using Record Mode to save the video.
Why is my download speed slow?
In most cases, the download speed ranges from 200KB/s to 20MB/s, depending on your network condition and the target video. If you are unable to smoothly play the target video before downloading, it indicates a poor network connection between you and the target video. Additionally, try to avoid playing the target video while downloading to reduce bandwidth usage.
Why does the download task pause automatically?
The task will automatically pause when there are more than 30 error requests. Continuous error requests are usually caused by your network being disconnected or the requests being rejected. You can wait for a moment and then click the "Continue" button to try again.
Why are the downloaded video frames corrupted?
If the video can be played after downloading but the frames only display scrambled colors, it means that the video data cannot be parsed correctly. Please try using "Record Mode".
Can I download multiple videos simultaneously?
If you are downloading large videos, it is advisable to avoid doing so unless your computer has sufficient power and bandwidth. During downloading, the extension caches data in this tab, using your memory (which is released when you close the tab or save the file to disk). The larger the video you download, the more memory it occupies. If your computer's memory is insufficient, it may cause the tab to crash.
Where are the downloaded videos saved?
When you click the "Save" button, the file is saved by default in the download directory of your browser. Normally, when saving a file, the browser will display a pop-up window for you to choose the download folder. If this window does not appear, you can find the downloaded video file in your browser's download history.
Does this application collect my video information or save copies of the videos I download?
No! All work is done within your browser, and it will not upload your video information or video copies to anywhere. Your personal privacy will be protected, and you can use it with confidence!
