Unable to use N_m3u8DL because of | in header

[ng.newbie]

Hi,

N_M3U8DL has headers separated by the pipe symbol "|" but problems occur when the header itself contains the "|" character.

Any idea what else I can do ?

This says there is no way to do it.

How do I for example use this as a single header value ?

Is that so?
Well, it also works on a few other sites.

Don't know if it will work, but you could try replacing the | symbol with %7C

No it didn't work.

Any other options ?

I am actually trying to write a shell script that will curl and download the individual TS files.

Well, it also works on a few other sites.

Even though the list is pretty extensive, it did not work for me.

Whats the mother url of the page you are trying to download from and the title of the video ?

I download regularly from a site that uses cloudfront keys for "protection".
