M3U8 Downloader

M3U8 Downloader This is an Android application that's a cross-platform media downloader capable of downloading videos or audio from internal links and converting them into MP4 or MP3 files. It retrieves your playlist, downloads each segment, and saves it to your specified location for offline playback. This software downloads directly without analysis, boasting a high success rate and fast conversion speed. It's also secure enough because the files themselves are simply playlists. The software is free to use, and a full version can be unlocked for even more advanced features.

How to use

Paste a source link into Source URL.

Set the Output file name and, optionally, a Save location.

Adjust Download options (concurrency, retries, video/audio bitrate). Bitrate 0 keeps the source bitrate.

Press Download to fetch directly, or Analyze source first and then download the selected core stream.

While a download is running, edit the URL or file name and press Download again to start another independent task.

When finished, the saved file path is shown and added to History.

Highlights

M3U8 / HLS first. Master and media playlists, AES-128-CBC decryption, automatic best-variant selection, default concurrent segment download with retry/backoff, automatic single-thread fallback after a concurrent segment failure, and segment merge.

Direct download without analysis. Paste an .m3u8, direct media link, or supported page URL and press Download — no separate analyze step is required. The Rust core now auto-resolves plain YouTube and Bilibili page URLs into the best exposed candidate before it starts the actual transfer pipeline.

Optional page analysis. Inspect a web page to detect and rank candidate streams (generic pages, YouTube, Bilibili), then download the selected core stream. The extractor now routes page parsing through dedicated site-adapter modules that try multiple player JSON markers, embedded/embed-live player-response variants, short-link hosts, live-replay manifests, membership-restricted responses, Bilibili initial-state title variants, paginated bangumi episode lists, multi-page collections, multi-audio DASH tracks, MPD manifest representations, and backup URL fields before falling back.

Transcoding backends. FFmpeg on desktop (with NVENC/AMF/CPU detection) and Android MediaCodec hardware transcoding on devices without FFmpeg.

Multiple active downloads. Each Download press snapshots the current URL, file name, output directory, auth context, and transfer settings, so one video can keep downloading while you edit the form and start another.

Material 3 dynamic color. Theme profiles include dynamic Monet, true-black Amoled Monet, and Pantone-led Amoled palettes with refined surface layering, stronger container contrast, and smoother theme transitions.
