What shall I do when the download is completed?
I have downloaded a file from a livestream, using the Chrome extension of the HLS downloader. The problem is, the app didn't move the downloaded file anywhere and I couldn't find the folder that stored the downloaded file. The interface of the extension has been like this for an hour:

So how can I get the downloaded file?
I can't view the image because it's hosted on an unsecured website, however, I suggest going into the settings from the extension icon and changing "Enable save dialog?" to ON .. then when the download is ready you will have the choice to save the file wherever you like. I had to manually add the .mp4 extension to my downloaded file, not sure if that is the case for everyone. I did install it from the source here at GitHub instead of from the Chrome Web Store. Not sure if that makes a difference. Good luck.

You cannot. This is (at least on my system) what happens when there is not enough free disk space on the temp/working drive.
More specifically, you had enough space to complete the download, but not enough to then process that data (you need the same amount of free space a second time for that. ). So, for example, if your file is going to be 10 GiB in the end, you need 20 GiB free on the temp drive. I'm not 100% sure at which point in time the temporary data is removed, so it may even be that you need a total of 30 GiB to save the .ts file at the very end. This could be handled better, especially since the addon does not have any way to resume old downloads. But the main issue here is that the user does not get any error message or anything when they run out of space.
In short, the bug here is that the addon does not give any feedback when there is not enough free disk space to process the data.
