Learn how segmented streaming works and how VidGetter detects and combines media parts.
What is m3u8?
An m3u8 file is usually an HLS playlist pointing to many short media segments instead of one video file.
How VidGetter handles it
After detecting the playlist, VidGetter downloads segments in order and combines them locally.
A note about live streams
Live sources keep creating segments, so results depend on start time, end time, and source permissions.
