━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
