How is it created ?

  • The data in the source url (m3u8) is regex checked and the child m3u8 files are created and saved according to the respective rules.
  • It starts creating child m3u8 files as soon as the video starts playing
  • Each time a video is completed or the main url changes, child m3u8 files are checked and deleted.

The child m3u8 files are created as follows:
