Does'nt download the video but another m3u8 file

[Tazeg]

Try this :

const fs = require('fs');
const m3u8stream = require('m3u8stream')

m3u8stream('https://prod-fastly-eu-central-1.video.periscope.tv/Transcoding/v1/hls/rR3sEEtIYIXRbEx5ThxVpftu1BX4T8UN_x8ObMCkkhMy4Bg9F0bnU5nzMQVSfrmqMk0-_tGWcx3niQ9R5-0yxA/non_transcode/eu-central-1/periscope-replay-direct-prod-eu-central-1-public/master_dynamic_16889594913756400541.m3u8?type=replay').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('videofile.mp4'));

It downloads another m3u8 file but not the video. As i understand that's because the given url contains several type of videos :

Can you set by default to get for example the first one ?

This module only works on media m3u8 playlists, not master playlists. There is a note about this in the readme

https://github.com/fent/node-m3u8stream#limitations

In this case could you fire an event or an error so that i can manage with another way ?
