About The Project

N_m3u8DL-RE GUI provides a graphical interface for the N_m3u8DL-RE command-line tool, making it easier to download DASH, HLS, and MSS streams without memorizing complex command-line arguments.

Here's why you should use this GUI:

• No command-line memorization — All options are available through intuitive UI controls
• Batch processing — Download multiple streams from text files or folders with one click
• Configuration persistence — Your settings are automatically saved between sessions
