I have 272 segments of Mp4 files that I cannot open. How do I get the app to stich them all together?

chandler-stimson commented 5 months ago

Generate an M3U8 playlist containing all the links and ask the extension to download the file.

Hello , maybe to fix this problem, this is a solution :

", i discover this issue of many segments and the obligation to wait for the assembly of these many segments therefore impossible to preview the video before the end of the download affect several download managers and a possible solution proposed seems to be according to a developer :

" For streaming media, the use of a single thread or multiple threads for downloading makes no difference. During the download process, the downloader creates independent files for each segment locally, which are then merged into a single file after downloading. This is why the file cannot be played. To resolve this, the solution is to add an option to enable sequential downloading using only one connection and creating a single file, allowing the player to function properly. However, the player's fast-forward and rewind functions may not be available. While many players support direct playback of m3u8 files, they may not bypass certain download restrictions or decrypt content like download manager do, unless making a new video player....."
