## What it is
A Go-based m3u8 (HLS) video downloader with a Windows/macOS Qt GUI and a cross-platform CLI, including Linux ARM/386/MIPSLE builds. It downloads TS segments (with multi-threading, AES decryption, and curl-header support) and automatically merges and converts them to MP4 without requiring ffmpeg.

## Use cases
- download m3u8 hls streams as mp4
- batch download videos from a list of m3u8 urls
- download videos requiring cookies or custom headers via curl mode
- merge downloaded ts segments into a single mp4
- download aes-encrypted m3u8 streams
- run a video downloader on openwrt routers or arm devices

## When to choose
- you need a self-contained m3u8 downloader with no ffmpeg dependency
- you want a GUI on Windows/macOS plus a CLI for Linux/embedded devices
- you need to replay browser curl requests with custom headers to download protected streams
- you want automatic ts merging and mp4 conversion after download

## When to avoid
- you need to download DASH or non-HLS video formats
- you need a general-purpose video downloader for sites like YouTube
- you need ffmpeg-level control over transcoding or encoding options
