**[The Stream Detector](https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector/)** will help you get video streams on an open page and get a direct download link to them. Links can be copied directly or as ready-made commands for FFmpeg or yt-dlp programs.

After installing the extension, its icon will appear on the main browser toolbar. When you click on it, a list of available streams and interaction options will appear.

From here, you can easily copy the link to the desired stream. In addition, you can get a link in M3U8 / F4M / ISM / MPD format or TTML / TTML-2 / VTT / SRT / DFXP subtitles, which are used in AdobeHDS, AppleHLS, MSS and MPEG-DASH streams.
