## What it is
A two-part web video downloader: a browser userscript (Violentmonkey/Tampermonkey) extracts video stream URLs from supported sites, and a Python daemon downloads and merges them with FFmpeg. It supports Bilibili, iQIYI, Tencent Video, MGTV, WeTV, and iQIYI International, including a generic HLS downloader for other sites.

## Use cases
- download bilibili videos
- download iqiyi episodes
- save tencent video streams
- download mgtv shows
- download hls m3u8 streams from websites
- download videos with subtitles embedded
- batch download multi-part bilibili videos

## When to choose
- you need to download videos from Chinese streaming sites like Bilibili, iQIYI, Tencent Video, or MGTV
- you want VIP-quality downloads for content your own account can legitimately watch
- you need subtitle downloading and merging into video files
- you want a cross-platform Python-based downloader with multithreaded segment downloading

## When to avoid
- you expect to bypass VIP or paywalls - the tool only downloads what your account can watch
- you need a GUI-only tool - it requires running a Python daemon and installing browser userscripts
- you need support for sites outside the six supported ones and they don't use HLS streaming
- you need a project with an explicit license for commercial or redistribution use
