Some CLI tools used in videodl.
-
N_m3u8DL-RE is a specialized m3u8 downloader that adds extensive logic for handling encryption, anti-leech headers, redirects, and malformed playlists, so it can capture many "protected" or non-standard videos that FFmpeg fails on. In many cases it’s also faster, because N_m3u8DL-RE can download HLS segments in parallel with optimized retries/merging, while FFmpeg typically pulls segments sequentially by default. ❗ Therefore, we recommend that all videodl users install N_m3u8DL-RE to ensure videodl delivers the best possible performance. ❗
-
Bento4 is an open-source C++ toolkit and command-line suite for working with MP4-based media, including packaging, inspecting, fragmenting, encrypting, and converting content for DASH, HLS, and CMAF workflows. It is commonly used in streaming pipelines to prepare and manipulate video assets for adaptive delivery.
-
Aria2 is a lightweight, high-performance command-line download utility, and videodl now also supports manually integrating aria2c to accelerate downloads (e.g., MP4 files) and to enable resuming interrupted video downloads, etc.
-
Node.js is a fast, cross-platform JavaScript runtime for running server-side and command-line tools, and it is mainly used when videodl downloads videos from CCTV, YouTube, and Tencent Video.
