Adownloader working? It stops for me after 10% and does not download. There is no problem with my connection because the same video is getting downloaded easily by livestreamer. But i want to download mp4 from adownloader because i can play mp4 videos in my phone and tab also but livestreamer downloads ts video and converting from ts to mp4 takes a lot of time.

Help required please. Also Can i specify .mp4 extension instead of .ts in livestreamer? will it work?

hi
you can use ffmpeg instead of livetreamer
example

http://www.hotstar.com/#!/ye-hai-mohabbatein-3/ishita-s-secret-1000000001-e

ffmpeg -i "https://staragvod-vh.akamaihd.net/i/videos/plus/yhm/1/1000000001_,180,400,800,1300,2000,_STAR.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8?hdnea=st=1433580971~exp=1433581571~acl=/*~hmac=240b294b34a5fecd04d1bec115cda0968956149a5dd441c3570f0cb5ba3c3cf4&g=PCVTVKYPIDKW&hdcore=3.7.0&plugin=aasp-3.7.0.39.44" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc Ishita-s-secret.mp4

[sscomp32]

@denobis, Help needed. Adownloader is not working. It only detects the audio stream not video streams

[japjis]

Is it possible to play videos from hotstar on Vic player without downloading it? Just like startv.in I was asking that because startv.in stopped uploading shows and I hate downloading shows from hotstar every single day it takes a long time. Any help? Thx

what is your problem exactly with ffmpeg?
if you want select you can use

-map 0:p:3

with in red the number of the Program (playlist)
so


in my previous example
5 Program (playlist)

  Program 0 
    Metadata:
      variant_bitrate : 241000
