Apply Mr Momo's rare technique to download some complex hydrax videos #105

Hi, to download some complex difficult undetectable videos, the solution is either record, a feature offered by some extensions but it can use intensive cpu resources, or, and after my research, it seems the most efficient method, but I don't know if this rare method will be able to download the complicated hydrax videos found on the kissanime site, or this hydrax video demo from big bunny on this hydrax platform :

this exceptional method is made by Mr Momo707577045 ::

the problem, the online tool is no longer accessible currently, at least for me who is outside China:

http://blog.luckly-mjw.cn/tool-show/m3u8-downloader/index-en.html

so this method is rare beacause it does not require installing any softwares.....

to apply this download method, Mr Momo707577045 explains the steps and what to do precisely, but average users who are not experts may not discover or understand what to do exactly ....

hence my idea that Live Stream Downloader take inspiration or apply this technique of Mr Momo to simplify this whole process in certain cases of complicated videos that are difficult to download...

there is even a greasyfork script that could simplify the process even more but unfortunately the greasyfork link refers to deleted content:

from what I remember when I discovered this method, for some videos, this method allows us to playback the entire video until the end and so this method can download the video, I find it is better than the "record" feature which can use a lot of resources .....

so to simplify everything make it easier to access all this and realize the ultimate dream of downloading hydrax video that many famous and powerful extensions and download managers fail to detect and download, maybe it may be a good idea that our beloved Live Stream Downloader integrates as a possible option this technique in the case the video is impossible to download by traditional classic means, thanks !
