I know this is not the right way to approach the problem I am going to solve. I am watching a movie from Hotstar and now I want to download the movie to my desktop. O inspected the page and came to know that it is segmented file that is being loaded.
So I decided to download all the segmented parts of the video and then join them and make a complete video file.
I captured the URL of a segmented part at random and paste it in browser URL, that part is downloaded, and can be played on its own with VLC media player. But when I download the particular segment of the file using Python scripy, it gets downloaded but not VLC can't play the downloaded file.
What's wrong with it? Can anyone help?
