Videos on most sites make use of progressive downloading, which means that the video is downloaded to my computer, and easy to trace. There are lots of extensions out there to do this, and even in the dev-tools this is easily done.
On certain websites videos are streamed. which means that we do no just download 1 file, we download lots of small packages. In the dev-tools these packages can be traced. The website I'm interested in is: http://www.rtlxl.nl/#!/goede-tijden-slechte-tijden-10821/c8e2bff7-5a5c-45cb-be2b-4b3b3e866ffb.
Flash movies are animations used for advertising, training and education. Flash advertisements are also popular in Google Adsense, a popular revenue resource for website publishers. The ability to download Flash movies is made possible by Source Tec Software's 'SWF Catcher' tool, available for Internet Explorer and Firefox. Apr 27, 2014 JWplayer it’s very funny. I Like this player, for me it’s the best, in this video i show you how to download video from random site. It’s very simple, in this 2 sample we have 2 different configurations, but Grab Any Media show you link to download.
-The packages have a .TS extension.
-Packages can be saved by copying the url of the request
-I can not play these files.
I must have done something wrong, or I'm missing something. I want to know what I am doing wrong. I want to create a chrome extension for personal use which captures the urls of all the packages. when I have all the urls I want to pass them on to a php scripts which downloads them and uses ffmpeg to paste them into a mp4 file.
Please help me get the packages.

Update:
Stream Video Dowloader Chrome extension allows to download m3u8 streams seamlessly. Install and press play on video it will identify the stream.
Addition to @aalhanane and @Micheal Espinola Jr
As m3u8x is only available for windows.Once you have identified the m3u8 url you can also use Jdownloader2 or VLC Media Player to download and concatenate the stream.
Jdownloader2:Just copy the m3u8 url when it the Jdownloader is open. It will recognize the stream in Linkgrabber tab.
VLC 3:
Open Network -> Paste m3u8 url -> Checkmark Streamoutput -> Select Settings.Choose output file, container , video and audio encoding. (e.g output.mp4, container: mpeg4, video: h264, audio: mp4a)Start Stream. It will not play the video, but encode it, showing the encoding progress by moving the video play back progress bar.

You would need to download all of the transport stream (.ts) files, and concatenate them into a single mpeg for playback. Transport streams such as this have associated playlist files (.m3u8) that list all of the .ts files that you need to download and concatenate. If available, there may be a secondary .m3u8 playlist that will separately list subtitle steam files (.vtt).

I needed to download HLS video and audio streams from a e-learning portal with session-protected content with
application/mp2t
MIME content type.Manually copying all authentication headers into the downloading scripts would be too cumbersome.
But the task got much easier with help of Video DownloadHelper Firefox extension and it's Companion App.It allowed to download both m3u8 playlists with TS chunks lists and actual video and audio streams into mp4 files via a click of button while correctly preserving authentication headers.
The resulting separate video and audio files can be merged with ffmpeg:
or with mp4box:
Tried Video DownloadHelper Chrome extension too, but it didn't work for me.

Copy and paste one of the .ts video files into a new tab in Chrome. Remove the identifying number of the .ts file (0,1,2,3 etc. or whatever number it is) and change the extension from '.ts' to '.mp4'. That should bring up the video file in your browser as usual.

I made some changes to dina's answer to avoid attempting to download/combine 1200 parts if there aren't that many.
I also found it helpful to sort by
waterfall
in the network tab of chrome. This will sort by the time the files are downloaded, so when you are streaming a video the most recently downloaded parts will be at the top, making it easy to find the .ts
links.CyrusCyrus
Easy youtube-dl example on macOS (in the command line Terminal; Windows supported too):
Use the browser's Developer Tools > Network to get the m3u8 (HLS manifest) URL when starting a streaming video.

There is a way that works for me. In an addition I removed
-a vod
option because it caused an error.freemanoidfreemanoid
Real player has a browser plugin that does that, (works well only in IE)Also IDM (internet download manager) does the same (again IE only) I've disable both plugins on chrome after having problems with it.http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/
Real Player is free IDM is not (other than the cracked versions on torrent ;) )
IDM allows to select what video stream to download (if you change resolution on youtube, you'll see 2 files for download, 1 for each resolution)
