How to download an M3U/M3U8 playlist (stream) without a special software
I love the tech conferences that share the recordings of the sessions without hiding behind the registration or a pay wall. Luckily the trend to share the knowledge with a community openly is growing, yet you still can find a nice talk hidden behind the above mentioned walls.
Sometimes an easy registration is all it takes, but then, how do you watch it offline? For example, I do love to catch up with with the recent trends and experiences while being on a plane, meaning that I just cant afford to be hooked up to the Internet.
If a talk is published on the YouTube, you are good to go and download it with any web service that pops up in the google search by the term "Youtube download". But what do we do when the video is hosted somewhere in the CDN and is served as a dynamic playlist of *.ts
files?
Here I share with you an easy way to download the videos from an m3u/m3u8 playlist.
