Hello, the tool downloads all .ts files except a key.php.key at the start, which prevents me from merging the downloaded files. Is there a way to delete it?

  2. Go to the website of the video you want to download

Just learn the basic function or search on YouTube, Object Oriented Programming in python or C# or VB.net which this tool was written.
Then the rest is your own exploration. But still you can maybe find tutorial on YT.
All what I've done is just self exploration/learning

We could also use the "Youtube-dl" command line using the command prompt, it downloads the ".m3u8" extension video file

Hello,

I'm trying to download a concert replay, but I can't find how to get the 1080p file. I managed to download the default 480p version, but I don't get another "index.m3u8" file when I manually change the quality, and I don't understand how to do it through your software. Any idea ?

I made a python script to automate this. All you need to do is provide an m3u8 file.

VLC lets you do it. Just open up VLC Media Player and do this path:

Media -> Open Network Stream -> enter URL -> arrow next to Play -> Stream -> paste link again -> next -> add -> browse -> choose file location and a file name (.mp4) -> next -> Profile: Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4) -> Next -> Stream
