What is Live Stream Downloader?

  • Downloads HLS streams to the local drive
  • Offers choosing between different stream qualities
  • Uses multiple threads to get all segments
  • Writes directly to the disk (version > 0.2.0)
  • Retries when the network is unstable
  • Supports encrypted HLS streams

The "Live Stream Downloader" extension lets users download live streams from websites that use HLS format by identifying and parsing M3U8 manifest requests. Users can select between different stream qualities, and the extension uses multiple threads to improve stability and speed while downloading large files directly to the user's disk, minimizing memory usage. This extension can also be used as a general-purpose, high-speed download manager for all types of files and allows users to start playing the media while the file is being downloaded.
