I discover new reliable alternative to ffmpeg online #362

Open trimechee opened 3 weeks ago

Hello, I have already spoken and posted an issue talking about my discoveries of online tools like yt-dlp online that can help the extension to download or solve some bugs with some rare specific complex videos, and now I notice that this site ::

https://m3u8.dev/

https://m3u8play.dev/

has a powerful online service to gather and download m3u8, mpd streams.....

this site had also extensions to detect and download m3u8, mpd, hls streams.....but recently, chrome store banned this extension and I sent an email to the developer who explained to me that his extensions have suffered a dmca complaint from the rights holders....and that he is currently on vacation and that he plans to add an independent crx version.....

so this is a suggestion and maybe it is good idea to add an option a link to this site or sometimes send the streams and small hls m3u8 fragments to an external online service like https://m3u8.dev/ could solve some transcod problems and bugs if ffmpeg online used by Cat-catch extension don't work : (it seems there is sometimes some connectivity problems with ffmeg online outsode China) :

Thanks a lot!
