HLSOriginals — Episode 01

This player streams in small chunks (an .m3u8 playlist + segments) — the way most video platforms deliver video.

LESSON 2 — STREAMING PLATFORMS

HLS streams: chunks stitched into one file

Hit the big play button to start streaming.
Clipmoth detects the playlist and shows an HLS entry in the popup.
Hit Save: Clipmoth downloads every chunk and stitches them into a single file. Watch the progress bar.

Expected item: HLS Saved as: one .ts/.mp4 file Bonus: a progress bar appears
