I'm looking for the URLs (not the keys) for CTV, CTV2, and E! https://www.ctv.ca/on-air?tab=on-air

I assume they look something like: ...9c9media.com/f/news/ctvnews/manifest.mpd

I tried this one but doesn’t work: ...9c9media.com/f/ctv/ctv/manifest.mpd

Thank you in advance.

ctv/ctv2 live stream doesn't work this, mpd is based on local station call sign not channel name

Thanks for th ecanada tips!

I remember looking into this a while ago and trying to 'reverse engineer' their system to get to the CTV/CTV2 streams. As you indicated, there are a couple of free streams but even these pass through a set of API calls and I figured that I could apply the same logic to their other streams. I got part of the way there but would always run into 403 Unauthorized responses, so it seems to me that it's not just a question of 'guessing' the url, but really following the whole flow, including autenthication. In fact, these channels aren't actually free, since access to them is tied to a cable (or similar) subcription. TL;DR: I got nowhere, probably because I wasn't supposed to.
