Help Downloading Encrypted Live Stream

[seraphzero]

I'm trying to download a stream off this platform and found that it's using DRM of some sorts, so the typical usage of yt-dlp on the m3u8 URL isn't working. I did some reading on the guides here, but having trouble understanding the process of grabbing the stream, decrypting, etc. The platform provides a test video page that's using the same DRM.

I'm trying to use N_m3u8DL-RE to download the test video so I can learn/figure out the general process for this sort of thing, but it seems to get stuck in an endless loop of downloading something even though there's only three segments to actually download.

I'm kind of at a loss on this whole process, so any guidance would be much appreciated.

[shellcmd]

yes, because the test video will auto replay, so N_m3u8DL-RE will circle record this test video until you press "Ctrl+C" to force stop.

If this is a one off video downloading, try StreamFab DRM MPD module. You have 3 free trials. Don't waste a trial on the test. The actual videos might be harder to decrypt.
Let us know if it worked for you.

the command to record 2 minutes of your stream

N_m3u8DL-RE --key 98fe2cc47352f0170a03d2eeb41d0488:9b35588ce16dc0894af4fdd5a01abcb5 "https://bcovlive-a.akamaihd.net/17789746e9e8477dbcdf8ceb96926d3b/ap-northeast-1/6160987587001/playlist_wv.m3u8" --live-record-limit 00:02:00 --live-real-time-merge -M format=mp4

OK, I figured out the process on the actual stream VOD with N_m3u8DL-RE and shaka-packager. Thanks for the input on the test video behavior.
