## What it is
MediaGo is a cross-platform video downloader that automatically sniffs m3u8/HLS streams and other video resources from web pages, supporting YouTube, Bilibili, and 1000+ sites via yt-dlp. It ships as an Electron desktop app, a Docker-deployable web server, and a Chrome/Edge browser extension, with an OpenClaw skill for AI-assisted downloads.

## Use cases
- download m3u8 hls streams from a webpage
- download youtube videos
- download bilibili videos
- sniff videos from any site with a browser extension
- batch download videos
- self-host a video downloader with docker
- convert downloaded videos to audio
- download videos via natural language with an AI assistant

## When to choose
- you want a GUI video downloader for m3u8/HLS streams without command-line tools
- you need to grab videos from YouTube, Bilibili, or many other sites
- you want a self-hosted web-based downloader via Docker
- you prefer browser-extension-based video sniffing

## When to avoid
- you need only a lightweight CLI downloader (yt-dlp alone may suffice)
- you need DRM-protected or paid streaming content
- your use case is not permitted for learning/personal use under the project's terms
