Download m3u8 video

m3u8

a simple tool for downloading and merging video fragments, which may be encrypted, listed in m3u8 file

environment

• Linux, Windows 10, macOS
• python3 with pip

install

git clone https://github.com/eagleoflqj/m3u8
cd m3u8
# read requirements.txt, then it's up to you whether use a virtual environment or not
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

usage

In the directory that contains scrapy.cfg.

scrapy crawl m3u8 -a m3u8='m3u8 file url' [-a merge=...] [-a referer=...]

or

scrapy crawl m3u8 -a page='html page url' [-a merge=...]

• Assign anything to merge to prevent the spider from merging fragments. This is useful when some head or tail fragments contain ads. Once you remove these .ts files, you can merge video fragments manually:

python3 m3u8/merge_ts.py 'directory that contains all video fragments'

• Only assign STATIC html page that contains m3u8 file URL to page. Note that this is not always the case, so you may F12 first to get the m3u8 URL, then set m3u8 (and referer if needed).
