[FEATURE]: Downloading audio tweets

[Laurens256]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current behavior for audio tweets is kind of odd sometimes it does show a download button and sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be based on whether or not the user has interacted with the post but I couldn't figure out the exact behavior. See screenshots for audio post with & without download button


In this example I interacted with the second tweet (without a download button) by opening the tweet and playing some of the audio. Then after reloading the results page, all audio tweets had a download button except the one tweet i interacted with. The download button does work and it downloads the tweet as an mp4)

Describe the solution you'd like
A consistent option to download audio tweets, if possible as an audio file format but any video format is fine too

Describe alternatives you've considered
If you don't want to add this, maybe try to make the behavior more consistent but it's up to you obviously

Additional context
Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm on Firefox 118
Feel free to close if this is not something you plan on adding :) thanks for the extension regardless

I guess this could also be a bug since the downloading does work, the button just doesn't show up on all audio tweets

Thanks for report.

Could you share some audio tweet links with me ?
I don't have much audio-tweets in my timeline.

Most of the audio files were showed as a m3u8 file in the server, it could be converted into audio or video format easily,
but these tasks are not effficient to do in a web extension.
I might just export the m3u8 file and let users to do the convertion by theirselves.

I also recommend trying to search for "audiotweet"or something to see them in the feed form since the behavior is inconsistent in feed form vs this specific post form, i think this is weirdly handled by twitter but i'm not sure

[EltonChou]

I noticed the inconsistent problem, need some time for investigation. 👀

To add onto this, I found that if you bookmark an audio tweet, it always becomes downloadable. This is because as far as I could see, twitter turns it into an mp4 rather than using the m3u8 extension. Very odd behavior by twitter

[EltonChou]

I think audio tweets were processed into mp4 and the autio space were m3u8.
