link to the content?
EDIT: have you tried to select the 64kbps audio track instead the 128kbps one?

In N_m3u8DL-RE I don't have the option to select which audio, only the video unless I am mistaken?

[Asdfgf]

that link is under subscription, at least for me

Just to update this, I didn't realise if you scrolled down you could select different bitrate audio, which I tried and it still posted the same error.

Need access.

Ok, I have been trying with a free video on DAZN. Just add --use-shaka-packager --append-url-params to the command provided by WidevineProxy2. Dont use -M format=mkv. Like this:

Obviously, the token is now expired for sure, so try just to get the new one with widevine proxy and try to do in that way. You now should have two files: one for the video (mp4) and the other one for the audio (m4a). You have only to join it. I use mkvtoolnix gui, but there are many software to do that.
