Download a DRM-free HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) playlist and save it as a single MP4 file - handy for archiving a stream you have permission to keep.

-i https://example.com/stream.m3u8 - the m3u8 playlist URL of the stream (a master or media playlist both work).

-c copy - copies the video and audio streams without re-encoding, so the save is fast and lossless.

ffmpeg -i https://example.com/stream.m3u8 -c copy output.mp4
