I downloaded a movie with livestreamer for 720p. But am not able to download after that... the download either does not start or stops half way through. The quality I tried were 900p and 1080p

Sorry... Kampachi100.. you are right even 720p is not downloading fully. It disconnects at some point... and there seems to be no resume

When you download using hotstarlivestreamer app or livestreamer ....The video is saved in .ts format...Is there a way to download it in MP4 or is the only option to download in .ts and then convert it?

Or is there someway to download and convert it while it's being downloaded?

This is not working anymore... guess Hotstar blocked it...

The software provided by beizom is working fine for me.

You need to install ffmpeg and once its installed follow the steps.

first you have to navigate to the directory in which the videos are using command prompt

Suppose the videos are in D:\download and its name is 01.ts
Use this command next

ffmpeg -i 01.ts -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc 01.mp4

@chessdunk

This looks like a connection problem. You can try to increase the HLS segment connect and read timeout (--hls-segment-timeout). Default is: 10.0.

Other options that may help:

--hls-timeout
--hls-segment-attempts

Your problem has nothing to do with the Livestreamer application itself. It is a connection problem!
