This problem can cause issues when you try to play the video using a native media player.

The M3U8 file may be missing some of the first bytes of the stream, known as metadata segments. I downloaded a media file with the extension, and it appears to be downloaded correctly, but my media player cannot play it. This download dialog must remain open until the job is completed. By clicking the toolbar button, a popup appears for the user to select video quality, and the downloading will begin. The user needs to refresh a tab that plays in HLS once after installation for the extension to detect the streams, and the toolbar button's badge counter displays the number of detected media links. This extension writes segments directly to the user disk to minimize memory usage (in the older versions, the segments were stored in the internal IndexedDB storage and combined once the download was complete.). The extension uses multiple threads if the server supports range downloading in bytes format. It downloads with up to 5 threads simultaneously to increase speed and stability. The "Live Stream Downloader" extension allows users to download live streams from websites that use HLS format by capturing the manifest file and offering the user to choose quality from the options provided by the server. What is the "Live Stream Downloader" extension and how does it work?
