For desktop web browsers, there is the HSL Downloader extension that allows downloading videos from streaming services. Is there a FOSS Android app that does the same thing as HSL Downloader?

The stream is available, at least for me. And there is no offline option or download options but you still having problems you try downloading the stream with hls-downloader https://github.com/puemos/hls-downloader This probably violates the TOS and you should also not share that download. But this might the only option for people you have a bad Internet connection or bad connectivity to their streaming server. Better wait 4-5h to download than watching a choppy 360p stream.

Unable to decrypt HLS streaming

First of all, I used hlsdl which makes the process much simpler. You can use the also ffmpeg, but I'm not sure. The issue is quite simple, the key used to decrypt the ts files is not correct.
