HLS isn't designed to prevent saving, it's just optimised for streaming.
- danachow 5y agoThe GP stated that hls makes it harder to download and store videos which is mostly a dubious claim, but even if it were true, in most cases where it’s used this is (if only hypothetically) a benefit since major stream providers generally don’t want their streams stored. The reply sounds appropriate.
