Can't download m3u8 for backup

[ng.newbie]

I am unable to download certain video files for backup from this link:

https://cdnvideos.org/hls/live_zoom_89944892260_1616333738.m3u8

These are recorded Zoom calls that I was a part of, I am not trying to download copyrighted content.

I keep getting a 403 error when I use ffmpeg:

There are some key files requested during playback like:

https://cdnvideos.org/hls/live_zoom_89944892260_1616333738.key

Which has a content of :

I tried TubeDigger , but I have to login through Google to access the videos. This is not allowed in TubeDigger's browser.

Can anyone help me ?

download key file then try N_m3u8DL-CLI
it can use external key file when downloading m3u8

Can you please clarify what you mean by the key file ?

Is it this?

https://cdnvideos.org/hls/live_zoom_89944892260_1616333738.key

Or are you referring to the m3u8 file ?

https://cdnvideos.org/hls/live_zoom_89944892260_1616333738.m3u8

The m3u8 contains this: (shortened)

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:4
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1

That .key file is the key file I meant, but it seems your problem is not the key.

ffmpeg can't even download the m3u8.
You probably need to provide cookies or referer info for the request headers.

Try this:

youtube-dl --referer "https://cdnvideos.geeksforgeeks.org/" -f best "https://cdnvideos.geeksforgeeks.org/hls/live_zoom_89944892260_1616333738_gfg.m3u8"
