Product summary

Important Note: This extension will NOT help you access videos from sites like YouTube or Netflix. The extension does not provide any video streaming content of its own, it only makes it easier to find and use links for video streams that are already publicly available.
The extension intercepts visited web page's network requests and identifies all m3u8 video stream URLs. When a m3u8 URL request is found, it is displayed in a box that overlays the visited web page (see images above) from which you can copy the m3u8 URL or play the video stream. Also, you can open the extension's popup window to view the first and last m3u8 URLs found for each site, as well as to set a variety of extension options.
This extension does NOT provide functionality to download the actual video streams. There are already quite a few other extensions and programs for that.
For example, I use this extension mostly to identify video streams from live TV news streaming pages. If they use m3u8 files for the stream, I can play them with the extension's integrated video player, or copy the links to the clipboard to use with other video playing and recording programs like VLC, Kodi, or Jaksta Media Recorder.
Please visit the extension's companion web site for the complete documentation at: https://sniffertv.com/docs/

Thank you for the perfect app. This is *the only* app brought me the link. 有難う御座いました。
Fantastic, this resolved the issue I was having with a site blocking debugging. :D thanks for this ma dude! :)
This extension was perfect for me. It automagically shows the video's URL that I can easily copy and paste into VLC to either play directly and/or record HLS to mp4. Thank you!
it worked, i got the links. now i can use ffmpeg or online tool to download the whole video
Great extension. Only thing I wish it had is a log feature on refresh that would make is perfect.
Does NOT do what it says it does. It does NOT give me a m3u8 link, just a huge block of text. I need a link that ends in m3u8.
This is the only working extension that does what it says. It works really well and you don't even need to start the stream to capture the URL! Thank you! *** FEATURE REQUEST *** Allow for setting of a default resolution. Most videos have multiple options and I only care to capture a single one, but it requires that I first change the resolution for the stream URL to be 'seen'
Works perfectly! Amazing for getting the raw link when you need it.
Ah man, what a lifesaver! Doing a presentation and having to stop and take screenshots all the time for the summary with a streaming feed is such a mission, then you press play and it's buffering again. Then there's overlays, gah. This extension saved my sanity!! Thank you.
esse negocio o pra VLC um app de video ok!
