history

Project history and usage

vsd, short for Video Stream Downloader, is a Rust command-line utility and library for saving HTTP video streams, especially DASH .mpd manifests and HLS .m3u8 playlists. Its documented feature set centers on segmented stream fetching, optional DRM-related workflows, subtitle extraction, and ffmpeg-based muxing into a single output file.

Project history

The public project is maintained by clitic on GitHub and presents itself as both an end-user CLI and an embeddable Rust library. The 2025-2026 changelog shows rapid iteration around the `save` workflow, including stream selection changes in 2025 and a 0.5.0 release dated 2026-06-03 that added separate `decrypt` and `license` subcommands alongside resume and clip-section support.

How it is used

The documented main entry point is `vsd save`, which takes a DASH or HLS playlist URL and can write a muxed media file when an output path is supplied. In practice it belongs to the same niche as other stream-inspection and segmented-media download tools: useful when a user has a manifest URL and wants a reproducible CLI path from playlist to local file.

Timeline

  • 2025-06-13: Version 0.4.0 added the `capture` workflow and HLS SAMPLE-AES decryption support.
  • 2025-08-12: Version 0.4.2 simplified stream-selection flags into a unified selection option.
  • 2026-06-03: Version 0.5.0 added `decrypt` and `license` subcommands plus resume and clip-section support for `save`.
