nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-CLI

N\_m3u8DL-CLI is a command-line tool designed for downloading and merging M3U8 video streams. It supports various decryption methods, including AES-128-CBC and ChaCha20, to handle encrypted content from multiple streaming platforms. The system also facilitates protocol-based invocation via m3u8dl:// links and manages dependencies for network, parsing, and execution tasks.

The application now supports ChaCha20 decryption for media segments, enabled via new \EnableChaCha20\, \ChaCha20KeyBase64\, and \ChaCha20NonceBase64\ properties in the downloader. Additionally, new decryption modules have been added for specific video platforms: 51Cto, Cdeledu, Ddyun, Huke88, Imooc, and Nfmovies. These additions allow the tool to handle encrypted content from these services, expanding the range of supported streaming sources.

The repository is initialized with the N\_m3u8DL-CLI project, including the solution file, license, and documentation. The tool supports downloading m3u8 streams with features like AES-128-CBC decryption, multi-threaded downloads, and automatic merging. A key addition is support for the \m3u8dl://\ URL protocol, allowing users to invoke the CLI via web links, alongside options to register or unregister this protocol.
