Error message

cole a URL de um .m3u8 ou .mpd

What it means

manifest_dl::download validates that the provided URL looks like an HLS (.m3u8) or DASH (.mpd) manifest before invoking ffmpeg. The check requires the URL to contain '.m3u8' or '.mpd' OR start with 'http'; anything else is rejected as invalid input.

Solutions

1. Paste the direct .m3u8 or .mpd manifest URL (from the network tab of devtools), not the page URL
2. Ensure opts.url starts with http(s) and points at the manifest, not an HTML page
3. Trim whitespace/control characters from the pasted URL before calling
4. If the manifest is behind an auth flow, copy the exact manifest request URL from the browser network panel

Example fix

// before
let opts = ManifestOptions { url: "https://example.com/player/watch/123".into(), .. };
// after
let opts = ManifestOptions { url: "https://example.com/hls/stream/index.m3u8".into(), .. };

let url = opts.url.trim();
if !(url.starts_with("http") && (url.contains(".m3u8") || url.contains(".mpd"))) {
    return Err("URL must be a direct .m3u8 or .mpd manifest");
}

fn is_manifest_url(u: &str) -> bool {
    let u = u.trim();
    u.starts_with("http") && (u.contains(".m3u8") || u.contains(".mpd"))
}

if !is_manifest_url(&opts.url) {
    // ask user for the direct manifest URL (devtools -> network -> .m3u8/.mpd)
    return;
}
download(&opts, &progress).await?;

When it happens

Trigger: Calling download with opts.url empty, a bare filename, a local path, or an http(s) URL lacking .m3u8/.mpd — note the logic: any URL starting with 'http' passes even without an extension, so the error fires mainly for non-http inputs or empty strings.

Common situations: User pasted a webpage URL instead of the manifest URL (e.g. a player page); frontend passed an empty string; user pasted a blob: or file: URL; copied a base-only stream link without the manifest path.

Understand the failure class

Background: "Invalid URL" / "URL cannot be empty": fix the malformed or missing URL behind request-construction failures — this error's family across 50 libraries.
