I'm trying to download the video below to watch it offline with VLC.
The command:
ffmpeg -i <playlist_url> vid.ts
Fails with:
https://d29wqw6en9quy3.cloudfront.net/BSIL-1r1/hls_8500_.m3u8: Unknown error
This is how the relevant div looks:
I've taken a quick look at the contents of the m3u8 and it seems a bit unusual to me, either way I haven't been able to download it... any thoughts?HTML Code:<div id="wpfp_b8c6c2fa01cd6da153993f1a04ea4edf" data-item="{sources:[{src:https:\/\/d29wqw6en9quy3.cloudfront.net\/BSIL-1r1\/index.m3u8,type:application\/x-mpegurl}]}" class="flowplayer no-brand fvp-play-button is-fv-narrow is-ready is-long chrome55fix is-paused is-mouseout" data-embed="false" style="max-width: 640px; max-height: 360px;" data-analytics="UA-91148563-5" data-ratio="0.5625" data-advance="false" data-fvhkey="true" data-flowplayer-instance-id="0">
In my attempts I've passed both index.m3u8 as well as hls_8500.m3u8 to ffmpeg but always same error..

It is not unusual at all.
When the index.m3u8 url is called (at the time of playing the video), it should either have some parameters, cookie(s), or header values that allow the key to be downloaded.
Without those values, the key won't be accessible. -
Like ponens said, the key can only be downloaded with some cookies. So you need to download it first. You just have to launch the video while you are logged in, and then download the key from this link. Then, edit the playlist and replace the URI link by the name of the key file, download all the .ts and copy them into one folder. Execute the ffmpeg command and it should work

If I copy and paste the key link into a new browser tab, while the video is running, all I get is a blank page... right-clicking on it and then "save link as.." still gives me nothing..
Clearly I'm a novice, trying to learn as much as possible as I go... -
I advise you to download the playlist file, it will be easier for ffmpeg.
Now when I execute the command "ffmpeg -allowed_extensions ALL -protocol_whitelist "file,http,https,tcp,tls,crypto" -i "hls_8500_.m3u8" -c copy output.ts" I got this error: "Unable to read key file https://my.metodomerenda.com/?fv_player_hls_key=BSIL-1r1 ...
