M3U8Downloader

Constructors

• M3U8Downloader(input_file_path: str, output_file_path: str, skip_space_check: Optional[bool] = False, debug: Optional[bool] = False, debug_file_path: Optional[str] = 'debug.log', max_threads: Optional[int] = 10, verify_ssl: Optional[bool] = True): Initializes the M3U8Downloader object with the specified parameters.

Methods

• download_playlist(merge: bool = True): Downloads video files from an M3U8 playlist. The optional merge parameter determines the handling of the downloaded segments. When merge is set to True, the method downloads and concatenates all video segments into a single output file. If merge is False, it only downloads the segments without concatenating them, keeping each segment as an individual file.
• download_master_playlist(name: Optional[str] = None, bandwidth: Optional[str] = None, resolution: Optional[str] = None, merge: bool = True): Downloads video files from an M3U8 master playlist, with the specific variant selected based on optional parameters such as name, bandwidth, and resolution. The optional merge parameter determines the handling of the downloaded segments. When merge is set to True, the method downloads and concatenates all video segments into a single output file. If merge is False, it only downloads the segments without concatenating them, keeping each segment as an individual file.

Properties

• input_file_path: Getter/setter property for the input file path.
• output_file_path: Getter/setter property for the output file path.
• skip_space_check: Getter/setter property for the skip space check flag.
• debug: Getter/setter property for the debug flag.
• debug_file_path: Getter/setter property for the debug file path.
• max_threads: Getter/setter property for the maximum number of threads that can be executed in parallel.
• is_download_complete: Getter property for the download completion status.
• verify_ssl: Getter/setter property for the verify SSL flag. This helps skip SSL warnings for HTTPS-based URLs. Defaults to True.
