m3u8_download.md

Docker Downloading

Download it from Docker (Isn't it obvious?)

Locate m3u8 file url

You want to downlad something right?

Run below snipper

docker run -v $PWD:/tmp/workdir --rm  jrottenberg/ffmpeg -user_agent "<UserAgent string>" -i <M3U8_URI> -c copy <FILENAME>.mkv

Command explain

  • docker run - execute container
  • -v $PWD/:/tmp/workdir - Mount current directory in container workdir
  • --rm - remove container after exit
  • jrottenberg/ffmpeg - ffmpeg container
  • -user_agent "long user agent string" - how ffmpeg should introduce itself to webserver. You can get most actual user agents from WhatIsMyBrowser most common agents list
  • -i <M3U8_URI> - Input URL
  • -c copy <FILENAME>.mkv - this one says that we want to concacenate all files from m3u8 playlist and save them as filename.
