Python downloader for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), which is m3u8 file
Project description
M3u8-dl
M3u8-dl is a simple command-line util which downloads m3u8 file.
Install
pip install m3u8-dl
Usage
Get the HLS Request infomation from web browser with Developer Tools. Such As Request URL and Referer
# HLS_URL -> Request URL
# OUTPUT -> such as example.ts
m3u8-dl HLS_URL OUTPUT
If you are failed to download the stream, try it again with the options below:
Specify the Referer with -r when you’re blocked by the website (403 forbidden)
Specify the base uri with -u when #EXTINF hls-720p0.ts has no base uri in output.m3u8
You can even make it run faster by using -t, which means how many threads you want to start
For more details, check --help
TODO
Maybe I will add a --restore option in the future to recover from the last session where the user left off so that you don’t have to redownload when the task is interrupted.
