Let the live stream start first, and then check whether Hams has found the resource

Complete graphic tutorial

1. 01 · Open

   First confirm that the web page itself can be accessed and played normally

   Open the landing page in Hams. The page needs to have normal access permissions under the current network, region and account status.

   1. Open Hams
   2. Enter the URL or open the corresponding link
   3. Wait for the page to load
   4. Confirm that there are no login, region or permission errors on the page

   i

   Hams does not bypass page logins, subscriptions, regional restrictions or access controls.

   
2. 02 · Play

   Click play to let the video or image actually load

   The live stream or streaming content page may first display the cover, countdown or player frame, and the real downloadable videos and images are usually loaded after the playback starts.

   • Click to play
   • The confirmation screen starts to change
   • Confirm that the player is no longer loading
   • Keep the page on for a while

   i

   Just because the page can display the player does not mean that the media has actually started loading.

   
3. 03 · Discover

   Once the press begins, give Hams a little discovery time

   Live media may consist of segments that load continuously. Once the page starts playing, Hams will try to discover compatible resources based on the actual loaded network media.

   • Keep media playing normally
   • Wait for a short time to load
   • Check if the download button is available
   • Continue playing for a while if necessary

   i

   You should not judge that the current page must not be supported when the web page has just been opened and the media has not been played. The recognition effects in the website demo are for explanation only, and there are no scanning animations in the app.

   
4. 04 · Confirm

   After discovering the resource, first confirm whether it corresponds to the current media

   Click the download button to open the download panel, and use the available media information to determine whether the resource matches the current live stream or streaming content content. Only display the fields currently provided by the app: resource type, resolution, file format, thumbnail, media description, etc.

   1. Click to download the entrance
   2. Wait for the item list to be displayed
   3. View media types and available information
   4. Exclude obviously irrelevant covers, thumbnails or creatives
   5. Select resources that may correspond to the current content

   i

   It is found that other downloadable videos and images that may co-exist with the page in the list require the user to make their own judgment and selection.

   
5. 05 · Download

   After confirming the resources, join the Download Center

   After selecting the media that can be processed, add it to the download task and go to the Download Center to check the actual status. The success prompt text is "The download task has been added."

   1. Confirm selected resources
   2. Click to download
   3. Wait for task creation
   4. Check whether the task has started
   5. Continue to wait or handle exceptions based on status
   6. After recording the required content, manually cancel the task in the Download Center

   !

   Live tasks will not stop on their own. Hams does not set an upper limit for the recording duration, nor does it have an upper limit for the file size, nor does it choose the "appropriate position" to end - the task will be recorded until the live stream ends, you manually cancel it, or until there is an interruption. Before starting, please confirm the storage space of your device and decide how long you plan to record.

   i

   Successfully creating a task does not mean that the final file has been completely saved. Actual results for live media also depend on website behavior, network conditions and media format.

   
6. 06 · Status

   Live stream tasks require more attention to the actual status

   Open the Download Center to view current tasks. The task card uses icons and colors to indicate the current status. There is no corresponding Chinese status text in the app, nor does it display the estimated remaining time; when the task fails, the original error code is given instead of the Chinese description.

   The live stream task will stay near completion for a long time during recording. This is caused by the progress estimation method and does not mean that the task is about to end - to end the recording, you need to cancel the task yourself in the Download Center.

   !

   HLS (m3u8) content is pulled, transferred and encapsulated by the app itself and is not protected by Android background downloads. When the app is terminated by the system or deleted from the background by you, the task will be interrupted and returned to the waiting state; when restarted, you can only re-record from the live stream screen at that time, and the previously recorded content will not be continued. Keep Hams running during long recording sessions.
