Until recently HLS support was not great without a custom player. https://caniuse.com/http-live-streaming

I wrote a program to record videos from HLS, including the option to avoid downloading commercial breaks. However, some things are still missing and/or might not work properly. (Some things, such as converting it to the DVD video format and then recording it onto a DVD, are done with separate programs and is out of scope of this one.)
Why not DASH?
Isn’t DASH mostly used for DRM content? I’m not so interested in such formats personally.
