Overview

Grabs m3u8 webRequests from visited web pages and provides options for using them.

Important Note: This extension will NOT help you access videos from sites like YouTube or Netflix. The extension does not provide any video streaming content of its own, it only makes it easier to find and use links for video streams that are already publicly available. The extension intercepts visited web page's network requests and identifies all m3u8 video stream URLs. When a m3u8 URL request is found, it is displayed in a box that overlays the visited web page (see images above) from which you can copy the m3u8 URL or play the video stream. Also, you can open the extension's popup window to view the first and last m3u8 URLs found for each site, as well as to set a variety of extension options. This extension does NOT provide functionality to download the actual video streams. There are already quite a few other extensions and programs for that. For example, I use this extension mostly to identify video streams from live TV news streaming pages. If they use m3u8 files for the stream, I can play them with the extension's integrated video player, or copy the links to the clipboard to use with other video playing and recording programs like VLC, Kodi, or Jaksta Media Recorder.

Hi Shane, thanks for the feedback. I just checked Twitch and you are right that it is not seeing the m3u8 requests for it. I noticed something similar on another site and found that if the site is requesting the video from a service worker process it doesn't properly convey which browser tab the request is coming from, and that is why it is not showing in the extension. Update: A fix for this issue has now been released (v2.0.3) and the m3u8 requests from “unknown” tabs are handled by the “active” tab. Possible (rare) downsides of this approach will be detailed in the documentation of the next full release.

I can go onto a website and separate the embedded m3u8 into it's own extension link. However, I can't download it. That's kind of an important. I read the comment saying that wasn't the purpose for this extension and that there are other programs that do that, but I can find literally zero extensions or downloadable programs capable of recognizing videos on streaming sites. This is literally the only one. So it's really unfortunate that you can't download videos with it. Finding programs and ... Show more

Hi, thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you saw the comment to clarify. I'll need to update the extension's description to avoid this confusion. I may add the recording functionality in the future, but that is not my focus at the moment. I can suggest the following chrome extension for recording video streams: it is just called "Stream Recorder" and you can get it from the chrome web store at: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stream-recorder/iogidnfllpdhagebkblkgbfijkbkjdmm or you can use the standalone VLC program, it can do just about anything you want with videos, including recording the stream.
