MPMux
This is a browser extension for downloading online streaming videos/movies. It can download streaming videos (such as HLS, M3U8 videos), static videos (such as MP4, WebM, FLV). It also supports recording live streams in recording mode or capturing video playback cache, and saving it in MP4 format to your computer.
It can download online HLS videos (streaming videos indexed by M3U8 files) and merge all TS fragments into a single MP4 file without the need for third-party tools, making it very convenient to save the video to your computer.
It can identify and download most types of static videos on webpages, such as MP4, WebM, FLV, etc. For larger files, segmented requests are used for multi-threaded downloading to significantly increase download speed.
Supports downloading live HLS streams. If your target media is a live broadcast using the HLS technology standard, it can conveniently record the live stream for you, and save the final result in MP4 file format to your computer’s hard drive.
If the resource address of your target media cannot be captured by the extension or successfully downloaded by other means, MPMux’s “recording mode” can mux the video buffer data into an MP4 file and download it to your computer.
Using the link provided above, go to the Chrome or Edge Web Store, or search for “MPMux” in the respective web store. On the extension’s detail page, you should see an “Add to Chrome” or “Get” button. Click it, then later click “Add Extension” to confirm that you want to add this extension.
After installing the extension in your browser, open the video webpage. The extension icon in the upper-right corner of the browser will show a numeric badge representing the captured video URL from the webpage. If there is no number, please play the video or refresh the page.
If the extension captures a video URL, it will appear in the list. Click the download icon to create a new tab and start downloading. Sometimes, multiple URLs may appear in the list; you need to determine which to choose based on the file format and size.
Once the download task is created, you can pause and save the video’s cache. If you do not need the highest quality video, you can switch to the selection form to choose other resolutions. Please note not to close the tab showing the task during the video download process.
When the extension cannot detect the media address or the target video cannot be successfully downloaded, “recording mode” can assist you. It converts the media buffer data into an MP4 file, indirectly helping you download successfully!
