Yes it is confirmed and proven, it is technically possible by using downloder extension to playback video while downloading in chromium kernel 129

Hello, thank you again for this great amazing extension :) 💯 🥇

So, even by increasing the vlc network cache to 60 seconds, and by activating time shift of potplayer to 30 minute, ,and by activating the 3DYD Youtube option Source: "download media date independently from playback" because my connection becomes weak when my sister uses HDMI, I note with sadness that in dozens of streaming videos, there are jumps in the streaming videos and parts of the streaming video are skipped when I use ptoplayer or vlc with Open in vlc or prevewi feature of Cat-catch surely because my connection is weak, it is not the fault of the open in vlc or cat catch extensions but apparently it is the fault of the media players which when the bandwidth is low, media players like otplayer or vlc skip parts of the streaming video .....

my hope remains to download, FDM was the only download manager that offered sequential download i.e. we could watch the hls video while it was downloading without having to wait for the end of download, but FDM can no longer download vidmoy videos and other platforms, I tried other famous download managers and unfortunately, we had to wait until the end of the download to be able to watch the video which penalizes me because the download can take a long time or weak internet and it is painful to wait for the end of the download .....

so I recently discovered the integrated downloader of Coc coc browser which allowed me the sequential download and I could watch the streaming video while it was downloaded, unfortunately my laptop broke down and I went back to using my eee pc windows 7 from the year 2012, I installed coc coc browser but the chromium version used by coc coc browser is chromium 109 because google stopped supporting windows 7 and therefore coc coc bowser is no longer updated, yeah I managed to download video with coc coc browser for windws 7 but I would like to avoid to use outdated web browsers....

For exemple some donwloader extensions like Live Stream Downloader was allowing us to preview and playback the video during download but it was only for chromium 124 kernel, now that supermium, catsxp....migrating to chromium 126, chromium 129, it is unfortunately no longer possible to play the video during its download with our Live Stream Downloader.....

same for Cat-catch extension and our beloved Hls-loader, so disappointed sad broken, I went to manipulate and experiment with the Cat-catch settings because the ffmpeg online of cat catch sometimes has connection problems and I do experiments to avoid using ffmpeg online and I went to cat cat settings/M3U8 Parser/ I deactivate ffmppeg transcod and I activate the Stream download box, and I was finally able to watch the video during its download cat catch, cat catch offers me a ts file to download and I can watch with potplayer or vlc the video while it is downloading !!

I thought it was impossible for chromium 129 but the proof is possible we can playback the video while it is downloading using cat catch and catsxp browser which uses chromium kernel 129? , in addition I no longer need to use ffmpeg online from cat catch which sometimes had connection problems !!

So our dream please is Hls(loader will allow sequential download in order to playback the video while it is downloading !

so our dream please is to be able to playback the video while it is downloading without having to wait for the end of the video download because our internet connection is weak, just like cat catch extension can do, thank you very much!

Note : lest's note that to be able to playback the video while it is downloading, we must leave a sufficient amount of download time, otherwise the preview playback stops after a few minutes, but if we leave 1 minutes of downloading, then the preview playback of the video being downloaded ends until the end of the video....

Thank you :)
