A browser extension for saving supported HLS/M3U8 video streams for offline viewing. Open a page with an M3U8 playlist, let the extension detect available media, then export an MP4 locally — with support for common playlist workflows, encrypted streams when available, and no manual network inspection or command-line utilities.
Hey Product Hunt! I built M3U8 Downloader for people who want a simpler way to keep supported M3U8 content available offline. The workflow stays in the browser: open a page or embed, let the extension detect available media, choose the source/quality when available, and save locally. It is useful for offline viewing, testing streams, backups, travel, research, and personal archives. Would love feedback from anyone who works with a lot of M3U8 content.
