I'm not an expert on Windows, but try

downloadm3u8 https://example.com/123-456-abc/video.m3u8 -o E:\"Test Url"\Test.mp4 --tempdir E:\"Test Url"\

Does that work?

ChatGPT suggests this:

Try escaping the spaces in your file path using the caret symbol ^ in Windows command line. Your command would look like this:

downloadm3u8 https://example.com/123-456-abc/video.m3u8 -o E:\Test^ Url\Test.mp4 --tempdir E:\Test^ Url\

Alternatively, replace the spaces with %20, which is the URL encoding for a space character:

downloadm3u8 https://example.com/123-456-abc/video.m3u8 -o E:\Test%20Url\Test.mp4 --tempdir E:\Test%20Url\

the ^ do not work,
but the %20 working,
i just need add .replace(" ","%20") in the path,
thank you mate

additional result :
the result folder from E:\Test%20Url\Test.mp4,
literally E:\Test%20Url\Test.mp4
not equal to E:\Test Url\Test.mp4

after i do some reserach, turn out, the problem in my side,
at --tempdir "E:\Test Url\", the Url\", or more correctly \" count as escape character,
so to make it work, you must type path without \" at the end line,
so it became like this --tempdir "E:\Test Url"
at this point, i am really sorry

No worries at all, glad you got it figured out!
