These are m3u8 links, which are essentially "playlist" files straight from Twitch's servers used to stream vod content.
To play the VOD, follow these steps:
- Right-click the link and copy it.
- Open VLC media player.
- Go to Media > Open Network Stream (or press Ctrl + N).
- Paste the link into the input field.
- Click Play.
To download the VOD:
- You can either use any widely available m3u8 downloader or follow the ffmpeg instructions someone shared earlier (I’m not sure where that went). Here's the ffmpeg command:
Bash:
ffmpeg -i "URL_of_m3u8" -c copy output.mp4
Just replace "URL_of_m3u8" with the actual m3u8 link you copied.
I didn’t mirror the VODs because, in my opinion, nothing noteworthy seemed to happen in them. However, if anyone feels differently, feel free to upload a mirror. The links will work as long as the VODs are still available on Twitch.
