Clearly, he based it on the open-source code from GitHub, which simply concatenates the MPEG-TS segments and adds an .mp4 file extension at the end. You can check out my previous work on a download site for the Bluesky platform at https://blueskyvideodownload.com, which runs smoothly and returns the correct video.

Fascinating, your site looks so similar I wouldn't be surprised if one was a clone of the other.

But, I checked yours out and can confirm that it returns a correctly muxed MP4.

Maybe if you both open-sourced your codebases we could've avoided this duplication ;)

Haha, I appreciate the observation! As a backend developer, I’m definitely more comfortable with the backend processes. But I also used Claude for the frontend, and while AI helps maintain a consistent aesthetic, it does lead to similar responses for everyone. That’s one of the downsides of relying on AI!
