HLS videos have to be pieced together. It's best to use a program like youtube-dl to download them.

what i mean is download online HLS videos from browser using extensions HTTP Downloader.

erickutcher commented 2 years ago

It's not possible to download HLS videos with the extension.

That's indeed a job for yt-dlp. HLS is complex, for example it has alternative resolutions to select from, or subtitle tracks. Not a simple HTTP download.
