Download from a direct link

If the extension doesn't automatically detect a playlist, you can add one manually.

  1. Click the HLS Downloader icon and switch to the Direct tab.

  2. Paste the HLS playlist URL (ending in .m3u8) into the input and press Add.

  3. Select the playlist from the list and choose the video and audio streams you want.

  4. Hit Download to fetch the segments and merge them into a single MP4.

This workflow mirrors a captured stream, letting you save videos even when sniffing fails.
