How to use this repo to download m3u8 live stream URL and save to local hard drive? about flyleaf HOT 6 CLOSED

Hopefully, I will find sometime to write a documentation soon. Until then, I have some samples to help you out with the basic implementations. For the downloader, I have this one https://github.com/SuRGeoNix/Flyleaf/blob/master/Wpf%20Samples/Sample4_Downloader.xaml.cs

Did you have a look and you still need some help?

Hello:
Thank you very much for your reply.
I have some concerns: first, I don't know how to call this partical class, do you have the code sample for the caller?
second, I don't like to use WPF, which has many restrictions, can I use the class in either C# console project or C# WindForm project?
finally, I see your code:
public DemuxerBase Downloader { get; set; } = new VideoDemuxer(new Config(), 777);
I want to know what the number 777 means.
In my case, I have to download multiple M3U8 live streaming URLs at the same time. For example, I have 2 Olympic games are on going at the same time.
Can I use one client with Config() ID# 777, and another client with Config() ID# 888?
In short, I want to initalize the class instance from the caller with different Config() ID#, and different M3U8 URL.
Can this be done in C# console or WinForm project?
Finally, the download percentage can NOT decided for real live streaming URL.
I give you one of such URL, it will expire in a few hours from now.

Can you show me the code on how to reach my target?

Hey @zydjohnHotmail

To use the solution right click on Wpf Samples project and select "Set as Startup Project". Then edit App.xaml and set the StartupUri to Sample4_Downloader.xaml. That's all.

Now, the code that you ask is already inside that project, the library code can be used from any project that you reference (winforms/wpf/consoles).

Basic steps to use the library for this purpose:

1. Register FFmpeg libraries

Master.RegisterFFmpeg(@"c:\ffmpeg\x64");

2. Create the Demuxer/Downloader classes (yes for each you need a unique id until I will decide what to do with it)

DemuxerBase Downloader = new VideoDemuxer(new Config(), 1);

3. Register to event

Downloader.DownloadCompleted += Downloader_DownloadCompleted;

4. Open input url

if (Downloader.Open(url) != 0) { MessageBox.Show("Could not open url input");  return; }

5. Select the audio/video streams that you want to download (validate that they exist and what quality you want)

Downloader.EnableStream(Downloader.VideoStreams[0]);
if (Downloader.AudioStreams.Count != 0) Downloader.EnableStream(Downloader.AudioStreams[0]);

6. Start the downloader

Downloader.Download(System.IO.Path.Combine(System.IO.Path.GetTempPath(), $"testVideo{downloadCounter++}.mp4"));

7. Catch the complete event

private void Downloader_DownloadCompleted(object sender, bool success)
{
    if (success)
    {
        if (Downloader.DownloadPercentage == 100)
            MessageBox.Show("Download Completed!");
        else
            MessageBox.Show("Partial/Live Download Completed!");
    }
    else
        MessageBox.Show("Download Failed!");
}

If you have a live stream of course there is no Downloader.DownloadPercentage. You decide when to manually stop with Downloader.Stop();

You can also use Record on demand while watching (ctrl+R for the demo version if you want to tested). The advantage is that you record the streams that you have selected from the player.

Hello:
Thank you very much for your kind help.
I tried to follow your advice, and I can download fixed size video. But for the live streaming video, I see that the program download only first 30 seconds, then it stops. I don't know how to fix this.
You can try this URL:
https://video1.maxline.by:444/o1/stream30/chunks.m3u8?nimblesessionid=3027958
But it will expire in a few hours.
Thanks,

You are right, I'm looking at it.

Edit: Yes it's a bug with the new version and the new timeouts...

from flyleaf.

It should be fixed now. Have a look and let me know if not. You might also want to check the timeouts/options/flags etc. for more advanced things.. see Demuxer's Config, FFmpeg's protocols, FFmpeg's formats

eg. you might need to use this for live streams:

config.demuxer.VideoFormatOpt.Add("reconnect_at_eof", "1");
