Why can’t I play the downloaded videos?
The downloaded m3u8 file is a unique format that not all video players support. Please find the video player that supports this file format or the converter to convert the file to the format you want.
Why is there no URL when examining the video segments?
The download URL is only available for the video uploaded through HLS. If the video is added to the Bulb using other methods, there will be no download URL for the video segments.
