Feature request: save URL to file #21

Sometimes, some sites split up videos to multiple segments and opening them one by one would be a hassle. Here's an example of a video split to multiple segments.

It would be awesome if it's possible to save the list into a m3u8 (or text) file and open it via VLC instead of opening a new URL every 3/5 seconds.

This extension suggests the "M3U8" link if it is available. For instance, for the example page take a look at the panel:

Also note that if you send multiple links to the player, the extension creates a temporary M3U8 metadata file, and then passes it to the player.

Ok, I see it. I'll close this issue then.
