Re: New feature we plan to add: Stream capturing
Well, what I woudl love to see woudl be an extension/feature that allows for the automated (or as automated as possible) capturing of MPEG DASH (or similar formats that use m3u or m3u8 files to handle singlepart streams) videos/streams, as there seems to be a massive surge in hosteing services that use them.

Re: New feature we plan to add: Stream capturing
Fully automatic download is impossible for most sites, I'm afraid. There are too many ways to obfuscate web code.
For the start it would be good enough to work as follows:
- Manually dig in the webpage code or in the browser cache to find URL of m3u8 list, mpd manifest, etc.
- Copy the URL to the clipboard.
- Open FDM window and click "+" button or press Ctrl+N to add a new download.
- Now FDM should read URL from the clipboard, download needed list/manitest, parse it and display dialog window to select preferred video quality.
- Other actions should be automatic: download needed lists of video/audio streams, download (and decrypt if needed) the streams, merge (mux) them into a single file and change timestamp of the file using timestap form list/manifest file.

Capture HLS and DASH streams. And also dig the different video and audio quality.

Internet Downloads Manager (IDM) has this option since decades

Great, helpful comment.
Can we stop with the XYZ product has had this for weeks / months / years / decades / centuries already?
Not germaine to the question being asked by the developer directly to support a proposed new feature.

Did stream capture of HLS or DASH end up getting added to 6.x?
Re: New feature we plan to add: Stream capturing
HLS stream capture would be nice.
Re: New feature we plan to add: Stream capturing
i don't know about streaming hls, hds and dash type. but i really wish to see FDM 6.x to capture video files with extension *.ts and *.m3u8 and convert it to *.mp4 before downloading and when a user start download then the files should be saved in *.mp4 format not in other format.
xvideos.com and xhamster.com have *.ts file but there is no *.mp4 support. kindly start adding this first.

Convert it?
OK, let's take a look, since that pr0n is so important....
1) what is an .m3u8 file? well, according to https://www.lifewire.com/m3u8-file-2621956 (and my own experience with music all around), that's just a special case of an .m3u file - which is nothing but a playlist of audio files https://www.lifewire.com/m3u-file-2621955 encoded in UTF8.
What Is an M3U8 File?
A file with the M3U8 file extension is a UTF-8 Encoded Audio Playlist file. They are plain text files that can be used by both audio and video players to describe where media files are located.
2) What is a .ts file? According to https://www.lifewire.com/ts-file-4151262 it's a (Video) Transport Stream file.
How to Open a TS File
Video Transport Stream files stored on a DVD will play in a DVD player without needing any extra software. If you have a TS file on your computer, you can open it with a number of media players.
VLC should be your first choice since it's completely free and can open these files on Mac, Windows, and Linux. MPEG Streamclip is another option, and the Movies & TV Windows app might work too.
Another option for opening the TS file is to rename it to something that your existing media player will support, like .MPEG. Most multimedia players already support .MPEG files, and since TS files are MPEG files, the same program should also play your TS file.
So, not sure why you would want a conversion in FDM for these files.

Re: New feature we plan to add: Stream capturing
Great plan Alex to add stream capture but i would rather happy to see a download panel over the web player.
Can you design a small software where it generate data of websites where fdm will not capture web players, stream services, that would be easy for you to detect error because what you need already is in the log file the small software is generated.
