## Description

HLS is a powerful Chrome extension designed to extract video links such as MP4, m3u8, and FLV from any webpage. It simplifies the process of locating streaming video URLs for easy downloading. Users can then utilize a Java-based application to efficiently download these videos locally. The setup requires installing Java JDK and ffmpeg to handle video processing.

With HLS, video enthusiasts and developers can seamlessly capture video streams directly from their browser and manage downloads with a dedicated Java program found on GitHub. This streamlined workflow empowers users looking to archive or analyze streaming video content.
