Hi, I post here because it is the same philosophy as Quark player me, and certainly many, have weak laptops old windows 7 os 32 bits, streaming videos may lag buffer jerks, even preview with potplayer with cat catch extension lag sometimes because my internet connection can become very weak....
the solution is to download, some hls video require to merge audio and video and cat catch extension to a site: ffmpeg online for merge audio and video but my old cpu does not support some ffmpeg online instructions, cat catch recommends to use an external parser m3u8 mpd parser: the great N_m3u8DL-RE, N_m3u8DL-RE is compatible only with windows 10 and 11 but the developer of N_m3u8DL-RE the great Mr Nilaoda accepts following my request to make N_m3u8DL-RE compatible with my windows 7 os 32 bits! the little problem N_m3u8DL-RE is still in beta phase and I would like to use it right now to be able to download videos and avoid network buffer lag but I can't find the beta executable version for my windows 7 os 32 bits, I'm not an expert so I don't know what to do and we hope the great Mr @Alex313031 will compile the beta .exe version of N_m3u8DL-RE for windows 7 os 32 bits please, thank you!
