    Hello:
    I tried to use the yt-dlp to download a few similar M3U8 links and save to local hard drive, but almost all the download failed.
    The commands look like this:
    yt-dlp https://m3u8.1proxy.xyz/media/g_05/playlist_gtom.m3u8 --downloader ffmpeg --downloader-args "ffmpeg:-t 3300" --referer "https://bingsport.com/" -o g05.mp4

    yt-dlp https://m3u8.1proxy.xyz/media/g_10/playlist_gtom.m3u8 --downloader ffmpeg --downloader-args "ffmpeg:-t 3300" --referer "https://bingsport.com/" -o g10.mp4

    yt-dlp https://m3u8.1proxy.xyz/media/g_13/playlist_gtom.m3u8 --downloader ffmpeg --downloader-args "ffmpeg:-t 3300" --referer "https://bingsport.com/" -o g13.mp4

    The M3U8 links could change over the times, but most of the time, there will be some M3U8 links available. But I got the following errors, then download failed to continue:

    Any suggestion that how I can add some parameter to keep the download continue?
    Thanks,

    Code:
    streamlink --http-header "Referer=https://bingsport.com/" --stream-segment-threads 10 --hls-duration 00:00:3300 "https://m3u8.1proxy.xyz/media/g_03/playlist_gtom.m3u8" best -o g03.ts
    or

    Code:
    streamlink --http-header "Referer=https://bingsport.com/" --stream-segment-threads 10 --hls-duration 00:55:00 "https://m3u8.1proxy.xyz/media/g_03/playlist_gtom.m3u8" best -o g03.ts

    Hello:
    Thanks for your reply, I have downloaded streamlink for Windows form this URL: https://www.videohelp.com/download/streamlink-3.0.1.exe
    Then I installed and put its path in system PATH variable, then I tried to run any command, I got error message, like this:
    D:\Videos\Download>streamlink --can-handle-url "https://m3u8.1proxy.xyz/media/g_03/playlist_gtom.m3u8"
    usage: streamlink [OPTIONS] <URL> [STREAM]
    streamlink: error: unrecognized arguments: --rtmp-rtmpdump=rtmpdump.exe
    Do I have to install other software to make it working in my Windows 10 (Version 21H2) PC?

    Try an older version of Streamlink, like 2.4.0
    In version 3 they dropped support/switches connected with rtmpdump or something.

    Sorry, I forgot to say that with newest versions you could get that error. Install the 2.4.0 as [ss]vegeta suggested.

    Hello:
    Thanks for your help. I tried one small M3U8 link, it seems working now.
    But I need to test a bigger live link.
    However, I don't understand why streamlink 3.0.1 is worse than the old version 2.4.0?
    If they dropped support for rtmpdump, then it is better not showing the error, right?
    Thanks,

    If something worked with the older version and doesn't work with the new version, it doesn't mean it's worse.
    It might be worse for you.
    It's probably easier and cleaner for developers.
    Maybe the best explanation you'll get is here

    Thanks for your explain.
    Do you think they will release new version to clean up all the messy stuff and make things better?

    No, they'll never satisfy your needs.

    Ask the developers on Github, I'm sure your question will be well received.

    Hello:
    I did some tests, and they worked yesterday. But today, it seems almost all streamlink download failed before timeout (like 3300 seconds).
    Any suggestions?
    One example:
    streamlink --http-header "Referer=https://bingsport.com/" --stream-segment-threads 10 --hls-duration 00:55:00 "https://m3u8.1proxy.xyz/media/g_03/playlist_gtom.m3u8" best -o g03.mp4
    By the way, I figured out how to use new version (like 3.0.1/3.0.2) streamlink.
    After installtion, just edit configuration file, and comment out (#) any lines contains rtmpdump.
    But I didn't try to use new version to download yet.
