How to download an X Live replay
Published 2026-09-22 · Updated 2026-09-23
Download ended public X Live broadcasts and replays as MP4 with SaveTheX. Currently running live streams are not supported until a public replay exists.
Quick answer
Yes. SaveTheX can download ended public X Live broadcasts and replays as MP4. Currently running live streams are not supported until the broadcast ends and a public replay is available.
What works
Public posts that link to an ended Live / broadcast replay.
Ongoing live streams may not be available until the broadcast ends and a replay exists.
How to save a replay
Paste the post URL on savethex.com or use the replace-domain shortcut (savethex.com). Choose a quality and start the download.
SaveTheX remuxes HLS segments to a finished MP4 on the server, then starts a normal download of that file. Keep the tab open while you see “Preparing full video…”.
Hour-long lives can take several minutes. Opening the file early often shows only the first few seconds.
Troubleshooting short files
If a player shows ~8 seconds of a long Live, the download was almost certainly incomplete. Wait for preparation to finish, then download again.
