Is it possible to create an mp4 file from a given playlist url?

Not with this gem alone, you would also need something like FFmpeg. You can use this library to parse each media playlist and get the URI of each MPEG-2 transport stream file that makes up each segment of the playlist. You'd then use FFmpeg to concatenate all the individual transport stream files from a single media playlist and remux it into a MP4 (assuming you want to preserve codecs).

Thanks, I was able to use FFmpeg to create an mp4 directly from a m3u8 playlist URL.
