m3u8 is visible but they don't work in yt-dlp or N_m3u8DL-RE

Code:

https://api.gizmott.com/api/v1/playlistV2/playlist.m3u8?id=202512041764832323142491&token=RKxmSt/FoQJEFIRMo62AKbcD8sUvfGHQOhGuwjbwPtem04OkixdMLJB49AbYvyBr5KFWIkv1aZ0PEGv6JXXSvQ==&type=video&pubid=50158

m3u8 seems to be missing the first part of the link, eg the 720p link starts at "playlist~720p.m3u8" and is missing the domain address

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:4
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=800000, CODECS="avc1.64001e, mp4a.40.2", RESOLUTION=640x360, CLOSED-CAPTIONS=NONE
playlist~360p.m3u8?id=202512041764832323142491&key=RKxmSt%2FFoQJEFIRMo62AKbcD8sUvfGHQOhGuwjbwPtem04OkixdMLJB49AbYvyBr5KFWIkv1aZ0PEGv6JXXSvQ%3D%3D&type=video&pubid=50158&audio=standard&b2b_id=&intro=&outro=
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1400000, CODECS="avc1.64001f, mp4a.40.2", RESOLUTION=852x480, CLOSED-CAPTIONS=NONE
playlist~480p.m3u8?id=202512041764832323142491&key=RKxmSt%2FFoQJEFIRMo62AKbcD8sUvfGHQOhGuwjbwPtem04OkixdMLJB49AbYvyBr5KFWIkv1aZ0PEGv6JXXSvQ%3D%3D&type=video&pubid=50158&audio=standard&b2b_id=&intro=&outro=
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=2800000, CODECS="avc1.64001f, mp4a.40.2", RESOLUTION=1280x720, CLOSED-CAPTIONS=NONE
playlist~720p.m3u8?id=202512041764832323142491&key=RKxmSt%2FFoQJEFIRMo62AKbcD8sUvfGHQOhGuwjbwPtem04OkixdMLJB49AbYvyBr5KFWIkv1aZ0PEGv6JXXSvQ%3D%3D&type=video&pubid=50158&audio=standard&b2b_id=&intro=&outro=

Is this some trickery by the webmaster or something?

Many addons for browsers can download your video.

For example Video Download Helper

Cool I got it with VDH, cheers.

Would still be interested in knowing how to find the correct link though if anyone knows?

You need to use the request headers for it work with N_m3u8DL-RE, the following worked for me.

Code:

N_m3u8DL-RE -mt "https://api.gizmott.com/api/v1/playlistV2/playlist.m3u8?id=202512041764832323142491&token=OEQef7f/g76c889T7jHDMO0bODsv1z0OnxdWWf3+1rLGp/Yh2iPa1ukooVj+hj0VhCChMjbaLdEmSjBisGzI1w==&type=video&pubid=50158" -M format=mp4 -H 'accept: */*' -H 'accept-language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8,el;q=0.7' -H 'access-token: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJjaGVjayI6dHJ1ZSwiaWF0IjoxNzY3MzE3ODU1LCJleHAiOjE3NzUwOTM4NTV9.yBvt5BRepC4GWko8uSSFoDrngdF63VP7hAmJvyTQlwA' -H 'cache-control: no-cache' -H 'channelid: 491' -H 'origin: https://docplus.com' -H 'pragma: no-cache' -H 'priority: u=1, i' -H 'pubid: 50158' -H 'referer: https://docplus.com/' -H 'sec-ch-ua: "Google Chrome";v="143", "Chromium";v="143", "Not A(Brand";v="24"' -H 'sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0' -H 'sec-ch-ua-platform: "macOS"' -H 'sec-fetch-dest: empty' -H 'sec-fetch-mode: cors' -H 'sec-fetch-site: cross-site' -H 'uid: 5668809' -H 'user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/143.0.0.0 Safari/537.36' --save-name "Gaddafi"

just adding the origin header will work as well, no need for access-token
