This is a pipe compatiable tool for downloading m3u8.

since the name m3u8_dl is taken by other developer...
short it to m3_dl
pip3 install m3_dl
python version should be bigger than 3.7.1, my dev env is 3.7.1
m3_dl <m3u8_url> -o <dest>
ex:
# download to local file
m3_dl http://aaa.com/a.m3u8 -o ./a.mp4
# pipe it to mpv
m3_dl https://you.tube-kuyun.com/20200210/1144_623a1fb3/index.m3u8 | mpv -
# pipe it to mpv and save to local
m3_dl https://you.tube-kuyun.com/20200210/1144_623a1fb3/index.m3u8 | tee > ./a.mp4 | mpv -

Why still can't I download m3u8 even though I got the correct m3u8 content?
Sometimes m3u8 file is not enough for m3_dl to donwload, cause the key is protected by user credential or whatever.
You need to get the key somehow. and tell m3_dl by -e option.
