Using FFmpeg

[timonndpumbaa]

I have been searching for weeks to find a software to download a video that I wanted. Recently I found FFmpeg and tried to download the video and it worked like a charm! But the only problem was that the audio was not downloaded along with it. I would be very grateful to you if you could help me.

**Code used in FFmpeg :**ffmpeg -i "https://mydownloadlink.m3u8" -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -vcodec copy -c copy -crf 50 "output.mp4"

The link of the video that I wanted to download :https://edge.pureflix-static-hls.top.comcast.net/eSalt_Media/666/791/-urlsig=O0U9MTYzNjQ3NTAwMTtBPTE7Sz0xO1A9MDExMDtTPTR kYzk2MjBlMzBlYzA1YmM3NjRkNTJiYmE0YmY4ZDExZDQ0MzE5Z jQ/layer_7_xa15629db0e1a4a6bacc881b120066adb/1568912743897-M_the-beverlys-trailer-pure-flix_preview_1605834307533_mp4_video_1920x1080_800 0000_primary_audio_eng_8_xa15629db0e1a4a6bacc881b1 20066adb_7.m3u8

Use 'Streamlink'.

Can you be a little more specific please, like the codes that I have to use?
I am very new to the coding field. I can only just follow the commands.
Thank you

[timonndpumbaa]

It says "error: No plugin can handle"
Do i have to add a plugin to Streamlink?
If yes, is there any guide on how to doing so?

Ohhhhhh...... I didn't try that. I used IDM and grabbed the link that was shown there which happens to just a segment.

[lomero]

IDM does not always work well...
better see network tab. we have multiple m3u8.
