to convert from hls (m3u8 streams) to mp4, you can also use ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i https://y.com/path/to/stream.m3u8 -c copy output.mp4
-i <input>
specifies the input file-c copy
specifies that the contents should not be re-encoded (which would take a lot of time and computing power)output.mp4
is the output fileNow this I can use.
Vlc can be a bit... Tedious.
Thanks.
