Efficient Downloader for M3U8 Streams
Live Stream Downloader is a Firefox extension designed for users who need to download M3U8 streaming formats directly from their browser. It automatically detects video and audio streams on the active tab, allowing for quick downloads of segmented streams as single files. The extension employs multi-threading technology to enhance download speed and stability, enabling users to store large files directly to their local disk without the risk of data loss during interruptions. It also merges all segments automatically, providing a seamless experience when fetching content from various streaming sites.
In addition to its primary function of downloading HLS streams, Live Stream Downloader supports a wide range of audio and video formats and includes features for resuming interrupted downloads due to network issues. Users can monitor download progress through a badge notification, and the optional 'keep awake' feature ensures that downloads continue uninterrupted. With its robust capabilities, including unlimited retries and support for very large files, this extension is a practical tool for anyone looking to save streaming content for offline access.
