[REQ] Force Downloading of .MP4 Instead of .M3U8

[OkyDooky]

Currently, some video streams will only offer .m3u8 files instead of .mp4 to download, while Twidere automatically downloads all videos (and even .gifs) as .mp4.

This prevents me from downloading certain videos from within the app and have to use some other solution. There doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern, that I can see, between which videos get downloaded as .mp4 and which ones get downloaded as .m3u8, so I do not know what needs to be addressed.

Thanks for the app, either way. It really addresses a lot of problems and allows me to browse Twitter content while using Tor (via Orbot).

Please could you supply a link to a tweet that downloads as an m3u8 file instead of an mp4? Thank you!
