| Scenario | Why a downloader is needed | |----------|----------------------------| | | Capture footage for forensic review, machine‑learning pipelines, or compliance audits. | | Edge‑to‑cloud backup | Pull archived video from a stream that was only temporarily stored in the cloud. | | Custom playback | Bypass the standard KVS Player SDK (WebRTC or HLS) to embed video in non‑browser environments (e.g., desktop apps, embedded devices). | | Integration with third‑party tools | Feed raw fragments into FFmpeg, GStreamer, or video‑analytics frameworks. | kvs player downloader
