With N_m3u8DL-RE it starts, but when I stop i find several little files, instead of a big one.
Maybe i need the shaka-packager?
Windows 10

Thanks for any suggestion.

You may need a fresh mpd URL. The command downloads at least 2 minutes from the present point. N_m3u8DL-RE has quite a few bugs when it comes to livestreams, so make sure to manually delete the temp folder and also mux manually if it failed, the ts file to mkv (using mkvmerge/mkvtoolnix).

It runs, but when finish the two minutes i find as before
two folders, video and audio, with one file -init-mp4 of 1kb
and severals m4s files of approximately 300 kb each.
Why it doesn't merge?

I downloades shaka-packager and copyed the exe file in the main directory

As I told, N_m3u8DL-RE is buggy. Delete the temp folder main_2025. And your final video file is already merged as ts in main_2025.ts
Remux that to mkv manually and you have your video.

[timetunnel]

my error, as you see in the image the file TS has been merged correctly.
Only one question: but is it possible insert a time limit for example of 4 hours?
Or there is a limit i cannot superate?

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

If you managed to set a time limit of 2 minutes, what would stop you from setting it to 4 hours? Replace 00:02:00 with 04:00:00

[timetunnel]

Fantastic.
You were really very kind, thank you so much

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

You're welcome. Keep in mind when dealing with n_m3u8dl-re and livestreams. If at worst case the command somehow crashes and you have the temp files but not the final merged one, then do not delete the temp files since you can recover the lost livestream.

Unless of course, the livestream turns into a vod, so you can download it fully like a normal video at once.

[timetunnel]

Yes thanks.
However, it is not clear to me how to rebuild the complete file with temporary files only.
I imagine I need a specific procedure.
For now, fortunately, I haven't needed it.

No, there are no video on demand on warner italy, only the live free. But that's enough for me.

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Usually when I rebuild one, I concat all video fragments, concat all audio fragments, then mux them together and it usually works.

[timetunnel]

For two days everything worked fine.
Today, however, with the same procedure, with the keys taken at the moment with N3, the file recorded is completely grey, the audio can be heard perfectly but the screen is totally grey. Do you have any idea what could be happened?

[timetunnel]

Usually when I rebuild one, I concat all video fragments, concat all audio fragments, then mux them together and it usually works.

would you be so kind as to explain the concatting procedure to me?
From today as I said, the live is no more running with widevine proxy2, the video are encrypted only the audio is good.
I don't know why and nobody knows too.
I tried with the allhell gui but obviously since there is no possibility to give a time limit I don't know if it works since I can't see the individual m4s fragments.
