Use tools to parse that m3u8 file. Otherwise, ask for feature in aria2/aria2

BTW, m3u8 is not necessarily one file. It can combine audio and video from different files, include subtitle track, streaming, so on. Even TV channel (which lasts infinitely long) can be provided with m3u8.

To download m3u8 movie files I use ffmpeg. This is the code: ffmpeg -i "url.m3u8" -c copy output.mp4 It could ask you to do something else but it is very easy anyway.
