Downloading and playing .TS files -- MPEG-2 Transport Streams (MPEG-2 TS)

• They are MPEG-2 files !!
  - with extra metadata
  https://w3c.github.io/media-source/mp2t-byte-stream-format.html#mpeg2ts-general

• Just concat and store with .MPEG extension and play !!

• You can start playing the file on VLC and most good players while it being downloaded :) if it is getting downloaded fast enough 

Some other useful material that I found but did not use directly:
