FFMPEG HTTP Error 403 Forbidden for M3U8

[dmpiq]

I've tried all suggestions regarding downloading an M3U8 file with this link:

http://recordtv-hls-production.s3.recordtv.com/103/103_2014-05_16-14-00_2.m3u8

using this code got from IDM:

ffmpeg -i "http://recordtv-hls-production.s3.recordtv.com/103/103_2014-05_23-14-00_2.m3u8" -c copy Video.mp4

run as a batch file.

But I get a

 [http @ 01D98BC0] HTTP Error 403 Forbidden 
http://recordtv-hls-production.s3.recordtv.com/103/103_2014-05_23-14-00_2.m3u8: 
Input/output error

Tried to:

1. Rename the output file as Video.ts, Video.mkv.
2. Run the command without the -c copy parameters.
3. Directly save it using VLC, but not only 2 minutes of chunks. (Not the entire 29 Minutes video)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Cheers .

Thanks for your reply.

Here's the link:

Please note that in order to access it, you'll need to have a Singapore VPN or Proxy as it is region locked. Thanks.

Thanks, but I don't know what to do with the code that you sent me?

[blimey]

You say that you want to download;

http://recordtv-hls-production.s3.recordtv.com/103/103_2014-05_16-14-00_2.m3u8

So... then why do you use;

http://recordtv-hls-production.s3.recordtv.com/103/103_2014-05_23-14-00_2.m3u8

as input to ffmpeg?

The first one works fine as input to ffmpeg. If it is first one that you want to download, then why do you use the second one with ffmpeg?

thanks for the help, but I got the error message:

Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 1: 10622856 >= 10620028 av_interleaved_write_frame<>: Invalid argument

After

Any idea why?
