I tried to download a video from reddit (https://v.redd.it/uag4uw003od51/HLSPlaylist.m3u8) but the download stops at about 400 bytes

const fs = require('fs')
const m3u8stream = require('m3u8stream')

const res = m3u8stream('https://v.redd.it/uag4uw003od51/HLSPlaylist.m3u8').pipe(
    fs.createWriteStream('videofile.mp4'),
)

res.on('progress', console.log)
res.on('end', () => console.log('end'))

This is what gets downloaded:

dupe of #28

the url given is a master m3u8 playlist. to download the videos listed in that playlist, you'll have to pick one and give it to m3u8stream directly.

changing the url to the following will download the first listed stream

const fs = require('fs')
const m3u8stream = require('m3u8stream')

const res = m3u8stream('https://v.redd.it/uag4uw003od51/HLS_224.m3u8').pipe(
    fs.createWriteStream('videofile.mp4'),
)

I agree that this is unintuitive. there are plans to have m3u8stream pick the first option for you from master playlists if none is given.
