FetchV is a powerful Chrome extension designed to download streaming videos indexed by m3u8 files, including HLS live streams. It merges all media fragments into a unified MP4 file and supports multi-thread downloading for faster speeds, ideal for large files. Users can preview media, switch resolutions when available, and manage downloads with progress and speed indicators directly in the browser. This extension handles various web-playable video formats such as MP4 and WEBM and offers a unique "recording mode" to capture 'blob' prefixed streams when direct media addresses aren't detected. Security and privacy are prioritized by processing all downloads locally without third-party servers. Note that FetchV supports only technically standard videos and does not work with encrypted content or non-standard playback methods.
