Downloading embedded Googlevideo formatted in .png

[Beaver110]

Greetings,
I've been searching ways to download a video however there are some odd things that I haven't figured it out.
Website:
https://dizi5.plus/dizi/konusanlar/sezon-1/bolum-36 [P.S. A couple of ads appear.]
m3u8 master:
https://img.flowcdn.nl/hls/59/,aqcmpaxkbcqjddhroi2kjamlt5rcieosxdnnx2fmudm27xf4w3xg7wi...et/master.m3u8
m3u8 index:
https://img.flowcdn.nl/hls/59/,aqcmpaxkbcqjddhroi2kjamlt5rcieosxdnnx2fmudm27xf4w3xg7wi...dex-v1-a1.m3u8

If you look at the index m3u8 file, you will see segments are encoded in .png format, not .ts. However I couldn't manage to download it and I don't understand why.
I tried ffmpeg, youtube-dl mostly but no luck. Here I am looking for advice and solution. Can anyone help me?

You just need the referer field:

youtube-dl --referer "https://flowcdn.nl/embed-oqo1n5tpwcwy.html" https://img.flowcdn.nl/hls/59/,aqcmpaxkbcqjddhroi2kjamlt5rcieosxdnnx2fmudm27xf4w3xg7wib7msq,.urlset/index-v1-a1.m3u8

Thank you very much, jagabo. I hadn't seen the referrer part.

There's a minor problem. How can I capture m3u8 link if the website creator disables the video player when using inspect element tool?
I tried for this link but it didn't work:

Thank you, it worked fine.

It's a bit tricky but here is the solution:

youtube-dl --referer "https://flowcdn.nl/embed-ddhtpfjbltzi.html" https://img.flowcdn.nl/hls/59/,aqcmoxpkbcqjddhroi2kjcu6tb2gu5yt6isrtvq3i2lzwe5ubsj5c4g...et/master.m3u8

I use the "HTTP Header Live" Add-on in FireFox.

I tried using referer, but i got the below error
youtube-dl --referer https://hlsvideos.online/play?uuid=52effe86-fac4-4b7d-bbf7-5dd1528eefff https://hlsvideos.online/cdn/60de14a3550cef87068cda4b9ecddb6bbaf568acf0d1b7ce5df3fbfab...480/video.m3u8

I was able to use JDownloader2 to capture the download link. All that I had to do was copy/paste the m3u8 link.

Hi @pramod When you start downloading, it goes into error

You need to open whatever's the equivalent of a cmd in Windows, for MAC, and type your command there.
Google MAC cmd or something.

[Karoolus]

CMD for Mac is just Terminal, no?

I tried downloading N_m3u8DL-RE . The tar.gz gave a file & i didnt know what to do with it..

Put the N_m3u8DL-RE.exe file in the same folder where you have yt-dlp.exe. Then run

N_m3u8DL-RE [url]

instead of

yt-dlp [url]

The referer field isn't needed. I verified this works. The result was a 150 MB file called video_2023-05-18_04-57-42.mp4, an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

[lomero]

from my link on post#10 download zip file (first line), extract, put ffmpeg on same folder and run trough cmd window, like yt-dlp
