piping video stream to vlc

[sucret]

I am trying to pipe a stream to vlc. When it was rtmp I could do it. But hls/m3u8 I am having trouble with. an example link (https://ppv.to/live/247-family-guy). I have tried searching network console in firefox, but not finding the master url. extension video downloadhelper is able to download the stream. So I should be able to pipe it to vlc right?

update: I have found the master url. Though am receiving 403 Forbidden error. Why can the browser extension download the stream, but ffmpeg and yt-dlp can't?

http headers

I have added user-agent as well as origin and referer headers with no luck. Do you know how I find which headers I am missing?

update - added more headers and am receiving a 400 Bad Request error.

Always try first in a chrome/mozilla extention to replicate the request by add the full header and body as needed. Also sometimes url have some parameters hiden like values, tokens or variable. Check it out!
