I'm trying to download a video from vzaar, but unable to download it.
Video: https://view.vzaar.com/16861921/player
Password: 569972
I tried using Livestreamer & ffmpeg.. but they're not working for me. I'm getting an error : 'Failed to create decryptor'.
So how do i download this video? Please help!
As Nevermore says the m3u8 file is just an index and I am not aware of any tools which will follow the links in the file and concatenate all the downloaded video segments into a single video file.
You could write a script to do this yourself but you would need to be aware that there might be multiple bit rates so you probably want to only download segments with a given bitrate.
Your question mentions encryption also - if the video is encrypted then you will not be able to view it even after all the above effort, unless you have the correct decryption key.
Sorry to break it to you, but you can't download an m3u8 file, because that is actually a playlist file listing HLS streaming. This format is for streaming (and as such you cannot "download" it)
