Fluent M3U8 is a cross-platform desktop GUI application for downloading streaming video from M3U8 (HLS) and MPD (DASH) URLs, built with PySide6 and QFluentWidgets. It supports multi-threaded downloads, batch task management, and watching partially downloaded videos, wrapping tools like FFmpeg and N_m3u8DL-RE.

Use cases

  • download m3u8 video streams
  • download dash mpd videos
  • batch download streaming videos from a list
  • download youtube videos with a gui
  • watch a video while it is still downloading
  • manage and monitor multiple download tasks

When to choose

  • you want a polished GUI instead of command-line tools like N_m3u8DL-RE
  • you need to download HLS m3u8 or DASH mpd streams on Windows, Linux, or macOS
  • you want batch downloads from a text file list
  • you want to preview videos mid-download

When to avoid

  • you need a headless or scriptable CLI downloader
  • you only need the free features but want YouTube support, which is gated behind paid Pro/Gold editions
  • you need DRM-protected stream decryption
  • you want a lightweight tool without installing Python, FFmpeg, and N_m3u8DL-RE
