You can download Twitch Recover from here: https://github.com/TwitchRecover/TwitchRecover
This window pops up after you open up Twitch recover:
From there you can choose what you want it to do - for this example, we are trying to get the m3u8 link for a VOD, as this is what I mostly use Twitch Recover for myself.
To do so we choose option 5:
After that, we need to choose if we want to input values manually or if we want to use a Twitch analytics link. In this example, we use an analytics link, so we choose option 1:
After that, it asks us to input the stream analytics link from either Twitch Tracker or Twitch Charts, in this example we use Twitch Tracker (https://twitchtracker.com). Go to the stream page of the channel that you want to recover the m3u8 from (I'm using Nyanners for this example) and go to the "streams" tab, then you click on the stream for which you want to recover the m3u8 link:
After that, you copy and paste the link from the page:
After that, you copy and paste this link into Twitch Recover and wait for a while if it works (sometimes it just crashes, meaning you can't recover the m3u8 anymore this way - most of the time, this means the Vod is dead)
If it does work, the following window pops up:
From here, you can choose the desired quality or if you want the audio only link for it. In this example, we are choosing "Source" quality:
Here, you will get the m3u8 link. Now, if you just want to watch the stream you can do so with VLC media player (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.en.html) by going to media ---> Network streams:
and clicking play. Video example of this: https://files.catbox.moe/49ujpr.mp4
You can also download m3u8 links that way by choosing "convert":
But that way is pretty slow, as it downloads the video 1:1 per second - meaning a 6 hour VOD will take 6 hours to download.
I would recommend youtube-dl (https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) or yt-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) for this instead. To download a VOD, simply use the following command in a command line window/Terminal (This obviously only works after you installed youtube-dl or yt-dlp):
youtube-dl https://Insert_M3u8_Link_Here.m3u8 -o "G:/Insertvodnamehere.mp4"
yt-dlp https://Insert_M3u8_Link_Here.m3u8 -o "G:/Insertvodnamehere.mp4"
You can change G:/ to whichever directory you want the final VOD to be saved in, and change the VOD name to whatever you want it to be named.
