Download HLS ( HTTP ) Stream video using python
<p>I need to download a streaming video(from a URL) using python the command line argument would be:</p>

<pre><code>ffmpeg -i URL stream.mp4
</code></pre>

<p>I know I can use the subprocess command </p>

<pre><code>subprocess.call('ffmpeg -i '+ URL +' stream.mp4', shell=True)
</code></pre>

<p>Is there any alternative like a API that I can use instead of using subprocess command</p>
