ffmpeg/livestreamer unable to download video from tv.nrk.no

[jasper]

Hey folks,

(1) been trying for a while to download the following video: https://tv.nrk.no/serie/kork-hele-landets-orkester/mkka71000615/12-12-2015#

(2) The stream info lists the following as the player url: https://tv.nrk.no/pakke73/2.5.74.0a/content/flash/NRKPlayer-1.13.000.swf

(3) and http://nordond38b-f.akamaihd.net/z/wo/open/e1/e151c634257dd6a696cba9e4c3ffce8dbf8c36e8...l/manifest.f4m as the media file.

I've been unable to get it to work with either livestreamer or ffmpeg.
First, I'm not clear which url to actually use to get the video.
(I've been using the command ffmpeg -i url -c copy filename.mp4)

ffmpeg gives me a 'HTTP error 400 Bad Request' response when I use (1);

ffmpeg gives me a 'could not find codec parameters' error when I try with (2); (from what I've seen ffmpeg can't handle .swf, so there's that)

ffmpeg gives me a 'HTTP error 403 Forbidden' response when I use (3).

livestreamer, on the other hand, gives me SNIMissingWarning and InsecurePlatformWarning (for (1) and (2)) as well as an error: no plugin can handle URL. (for all 3 urls I try)

(It's worth noting that I have installed urllib3[secure] in response to the SNIMissing and InsecurePlatform warnings to no effect)

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
jasper

Awesome, using livestreamer with the hds protocol worked a treat. To be perfectly honest I understand not very much of what's going on there, but thank you very much nevertheless!
