Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about downloading M3U8 videos
Get answers to common questions and troubleshooting tips.
M3U8 is a playlist format used by streaming services that splits videos into hundreds of small segments. Regular downloaders can't handle this format because they don't know how to fetch, decrypt, and merge all the pieces. Our tool automatically handles this complex process for you.
Open your browser's developer tools (F12), go to the Network tab, play the video, and look for files ending in .m3u8. You can also right-click on the video player and select 'Inspect Element' to find the source URL. Copy the full M3U8 link and paste it into our downloader.
Yes! Our downloader automatically detects and handles AES-128 encrypted streams. It downloads the decryption keys, processes each video segment, and merges them into a playable file. This works for most encrypted M3U8 streams without any additional setup.
TS (Transport Stream) is the original format - it downloads faster but may not play on all devices. MP4 is converted for universal compatibility with phones, tablets, and media players. Choose TS if you want speed and have a compatible player, or MP4 for maximum device compatibility.
Long downloads usually mean the video has many segments or your internet is slow. Our tool downloads up to 5 segments simultaneously to speed things up. If downloads fail, check if the original stream is still live, try a different quality, or refresh the page and try again.
Our tool automatically detects all available qualities from the M3U8 stream. Higher numbers (like 1080p) mean better quality but larger file sizes. Choose based on your device's screen and storage space. Mobile users often prefer 720p for the best balance of quality and file size.
You can download segments from live streams, but you'll only get the portions that have already been broadcast. For ongoing live streams, you'd need to capture them while they're happening. Our tool works best with Video-on-Demand (VOD) content that has a complete playlist.
Yes, completely free! No registration, no credit card, no hidden fees. All processing happens in your browser, so we don't have server costs to pass on to you. We believe everyone should have access to download their legitimately accessed content for offline viewing.
No! Everything happens locally in your browser. We never see your video URLs, don't store your downloads, and don't track your activity. The M3U8 link you paste goes directly from your browser to the video server - we're just providing the tool to process it.
This usually means the M3U8 link is expired, the stream is geo-blocked, or you need to be logged in to access it. Try refreshing the original page, logging into the streaming service, or using a VPN if the content is region-restricted. Some streams also expire after a certain time.
Currently, downloads run continuously once started. If interrupted, you'll need to restart the download. However, our multi-threaded approach makes most downloads complete quickly enough that interruptions are rare. We're working on adding pause/resume functionality in future updates.
Yes! Our downloader works on phones and tablets through your web browser. On mobile, downloaded files typically save to your Downloads folder. Note that MP4 conversion (using FFmpeg) requires more processing power, so it may be slower on older mobile devices.
