Using aria2c with M3U8 is relatively straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:
I tested a 2-hour 1080p stream (500 .ts chunks, ~50 MB total): aria2c m3u8
curl -s "$m3u8_url" | grep ".ts" | while read ts; do echo "$base_url/$ts" done | aria2c -i - -j 16 -d ./video Using aria2c with M3U8 is relatively straightforward
The simplest way to download an entire HLS stream: aria2c m3u8
If you don't need parallel downloading for speed, the FFmpeg command is simpler because it handles the download and the merging in one step. ffmpeg -i "https://example.com" -c copy video.mp4 Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard
