How to convert m3u8 URL to mp4 downloadable file in browser?

I am writing an extension to download videos from a website. That web site has mp4 files and m3u8 files. I have already implemented the part to download direct mp4 files. I stuck at converting the m3u8 file to mp4. I tried lot of js packages but there are a lot of dependencies and failed even after using browserfy.

Current popup.js file

unction loadvideoList(callback){
    chrome.storage.sync.get(['courseID'], function(result) {
        if(result.courseID != 'undefined'){
            $.ajax({
                type: 'GET',
                url: "http://localhost:80/get_videos_list/"+result.courseID,
                crossDomain: true,
                success: function(response) {
                    document.getElementById("loading_icon").style.display='none';
                    document.getElementById("videos_list").style.display='block';
                    document.getElementById("videos_list").style.padding='10px';
                    for(var i = 0; i < response.video_list.length; i++){
                        if(response.video_list[i].type == 'mp4'){
                            handleDownloadButton(response.video_list[i]);
                        }else{
                            // ************ HERE ***************
                            handleDownloadButton-m3u8Tomp4(response.video_list[i].video_url)
                        }
                    }
                },
                error: function (err) {
                    alert("unexpected error occured: "+err.code);
                    console.log(err);

        }
    });

handleDownloadButton function create the button to download the direct mp4 files. I need to implement a similar function called handleDownloadButton-m3u8Tomp4(see the code sample) that should first convert the http://...file.m3u8 to a mp4 and make it also downloadable. I seek for a script in similar repos like https://github.com/puemos/hls-downloader-chrome-extension, but I was unable to do so. It would be great, If anyone could help me, Thanks in advance!
