WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Detects HLS / M3U8 playlists, fragmented MP4, and direct MP4/WEBM/MOV
• Downloads all segments in parallel and stitches them into one MP4
• Decrypts AES-128 protected HLS streams on the fly
• Plays back on any device — VLC, Windows Movies & TV, iOS, macOS
• Shows the actively-playing video at the top — no guessing which stream
• Quality selector for multi-bitrate streams (1080p / 720p / 480p / etc.)
• Progress bar with cancel support
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY STREAM SAVER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most "video downloader" extensions re-encode your video — meaning quality
loss, hours of waiting, and a fan-noisy CPU. Stream Saver uses a zero-
re-encode transmux pipeline: the original H.264/AAC bytes move straight
into an MP4 container, so a 1-hour stream finishes in seconds and looks
identical to the source.
