Field notes
The homepage describes a queue that can take pasted m3u8 or mpd addresses or detect streams from the current page, then fetches segments concurrently and writes them as they arrive. It says TS can be remuxed to MP4 without ffmpeg and independent audio tracks can be merged; for DRM-protected material it disclaims cracking, while some sites are handled through recording during playback. The page reports 16 concurrent connections and a test involving files over 10 GB; these are site claims.
