m3u8 Video Downloader

HLS stands for HTTP Live Streaming, and M3U8 is an index file that contains information about the segments of a streaming video. Currently, most online videos are HLS streaming videos. 4saved M3U8 Downloader works by downloading video segments through the M3U8 file and then merging them into an MP4 file.

This downloader is only suitable for videos that comply with HLS technical standards. It is not applicable to videos that do not conform to the standards. Additionally, encrypted HLS videos cannot be downloaded using this tool.

Many similar extensions can directly download video media without opening an additional tab, as they typically support static formats like MP4 or WEBM. However, for fragmented videos like HLS, a separate tab is necessary to temporarily store and process the media segments. Although the extension's popup could also act as a temporary container for this data, it's not a dependable option because it might close unexpectedly due to user actions, resulting in data loss.

If the target video has multiple resolutions, it may result in capturing multiple HLS video URLs representing different resolutions. If multiple HLS addresses are captured due to different resolutions, you can choose any one of them, as you can switch resolutions again during the download process.
