They asked I try to save the video from the church website.

The url is: https://www.stmaryswatchung.org/video and I searched Leo to find the specific video.

The video says it's from Boxcast. Googling how to save a boxcast video, I find a chrome extension

https://webextension.org/listing/hls-downloader.html?version=0.5.6&type=install

and I install it. It finds the video url and I download the 1080 version.

It's a 1+ hour video. I'd rather not watch it to make sure it's OK. Maybe download another way and see at least if the files are identical? I find this page:

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/407380-Download-video-from-Boxcast

and get yt-dlp and have it download the file, using the URL from the chrome extension.

While that's running, I look at the church webpage. Then based on that videohelp comments, look at inspect / element. Neither have that long URL for the video.

And when yt-dlp ends, the last line says: WARNING: 1080p-byteranges: Possible MPEG-TS in MP4 container or malformed AAC timestamps. Install ffmpeg to fix this automatically

Any advice on how do you manually find the URL of videos in general? ]]> Video Streaming Downloading feetsdr https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420680-Noob-Thought-process-on-downloading-boxcast-video I have cracked a way to download netflix content https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420679-I-have-cracked-a-way-to-download-netflix-content?goto=newpost Tue, 09 Jun 2026 07:21:46 GMT Hi everyone, i just want some suggestions: I have cracked a way to download movies/series from NF.

Until yesterday, I was able to successfully extract and play the 1080p live streams for Italian national TV (RaiPlay). I was relying on their relinker API to grab the tokenized Akamai links, which typically look like this:

HTML Code:

https://raiuno1-live.akamaized.net/hls/live/598308/raiuno1/raiuno1/playlist_ma_1800-5000.m3u8

Since this morning, this has completely stopped working on my end. Playing the bare link obviously results in a 403 Forbidden from Akamai.

When trying to get a fresh token via their API (https://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relinkerServlet.htm?cont=2606803), it seems they have drastically updated their WAF/Bot Manager:

If I use the standard web parameter (&output=45), I can successfully get a token, but the stream is now strictly capped at 720p (~2.7 Mbps max).

If I try to request the Smart TV or Apple HLS streams (&output=54 or &output=14) to get the native 1080p feed (~5 Mbps), the server instantly drops the connection or returns an error, even when spoofing Android TV/iPad headers and using TLS fingerprint impersonation.

Is anyone else experiencing this sudden block, or is it just something wrong on my end?
Did RaiPlay just lock the 1080p live streams behind an App-bound HMAC token, or has anyone already found a workaround/new API parameter to restore the 1080p streams in cleartext?

Thanks in advance for any insights! ]]> Video Streaming Downloading pedrothelion https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420676-%5BRaiPlay-Italy%5D-1080p-Akamai-Live-Streams-%28M3U8%29-returning-403-Forbidden Trouble wiith boutique.arte.tv https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420674-Trouble-wiith-boutique-arte-tv?goto=newpost Mon, 08 Jun 2026 08:15:12 GMT Hi, Usually I download DRM encrypted content with N_m3u8DL-RE thanks to the HellYes script.
