I'd previously used -ss and ffmpeg would go through the entire playlist before saving what I wanted, and by that time the link expired. Editing m3u8 is the way to go with really long videos.

Thanks again!

Hi , I also just registered. I've been figuring out this ffmpeg and how to downloading video in the last days. I got 3 videos downloaded but I still can't figure how you can download the m3u8 file and edit it. Could you help. With long videos, I really feel it could help me a lot. I am using FF webdeveloper to spot the file and then I do copy. I dont know (my tech skills are very very below average) how to download it. Thanks in advance...
