An Electron-based desktop application for downloading and playing HLS (M3U8) video streams, with support for multi-threaded downloads, resumable transfers, and AES-encrypted stream decryption. It converts downloaded streams losslessly to MP4 files.

Use cases

  • download m3u8 hls videos to mp4
  • download encrypted aes-128 hls streams
  • resume interrupted video downloads
  • capture m3u8 url from browser network tab and download
  • record hls live stream
  • download local m3u8 playlist file with custom headers

When to choose

  • you need a GUI desktop app to download HLS/M3U8 video streams
  • you need to decrypt AES-128/192/256-CBC encrypted streams with custom keys and IVs
  • you want multi-threaded, resumable downloads of segmented video
  • you need cross-platform support on Windows, macOS, and Linux

When to avoid

  • you need a command-line tool for scripted or automated downloads
  • you need non-standard AES-CBC encryption support out of the box
  • you require a project with an explicit open-source license for commercial use
  • you need DASH or non-HLS streaming protocol support
