Usage

var m3u8ToMp4 = require("m3u8-to-mp4");
var converter = new m3u8ToMp4();

Functions

converter.setHeaders(headers) - optional

• headers: An object containing the headers to be used in the request to the M3U8 file.

converter.setInputFile(filename)

• filename: M3U8 file path. You can use remote URL

converter.setOutputFile(filename)

• filename: Output file path. Has to be local :)

converter.start()

var m3u8ToMp4 = require("m3u8-to-mp4");
var converter = new m3u8ToMp4();

(async function() {
  await converter
    .setInputFile("https://<URL_OF_THE_WEBSITE>/<PATH_TO_THE_M3U8_FILE>")
    .setOutputFile("dummy.mp4")
    .start();

  console.log("File converted");
})();

if you want to use headers, you can use setHeaders function.

var m3u8ToMp4 = require("m3u8-to-mp4");
var converter = new m3u8ToMp4();
 (async function() {
  await converter
    .setInputFile("https://<URL_OF_THE_WEBSITE>/<PATH_TO_THE_M3U8_FILE>")
    .setOutputFile("dummy.mp4")
    .setHeaders({
      "Authorization": "Bearer XXXXXX",
      "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.142 Safari/537.36",
})
    .start();

  console.log("File converted");

 )()

or if you want to use it with .then() instead of async/await:

var m3u8ToMp4 = require("m3u8-to-mp4");
var converter = new m3u8ToMp4();

converter
  .setInputFile("https://<URL_OF_THE_WEBSITE>/<PATH_TO_THE_M3U8_FILE>")
  .setOutputFile("dummy.mp4")
  .start()
  .then(() => {
    console.log("File converted");
  });
