Attempting to download HLS video from gyao

[jiffykornn]

Hi I am trying to save some videos from gyao.yahoo.co.jp.
Some times when using livestreamer I get an error 403 Client Error: Forbidden.
Is there any way to get around this type of error?
An example url I have used is https://gw.gyao.yahooapis.jp/v1/auth_hls/00189:v04459:v1000000000000001646/variant.m3u...DW6KyRr1Zw3rI-
However the url is probably no longer valid at this time.
Any help is appreciated.

It should work with FFMPEG:

Thank you for replying and helping. I tried using the ffmpeg command you suggested but I got a 401 Unauthorized (authorization failed) error. I also tried the livestreamer command that you suggested and still receive the 403 Client error: Forbidden.
I think the stream that I am trying to download requires user account verification and will not allow viewing without it. I tried using livestreamer --http-cookie Key= option with a few cookie values that I saw in firefox and was still not able to save the video. I think at the moment my only option would be to screen capture it but my internet connection is too slow to play it with out buffering. I have tried other programs to download the video such as getflv adownloader atubecatcher videodownloadhelper streamtransport and jaksta but none of them were able to download the video. I created a plugin request for livestreamer for gyao. Hopefully a plugin will get created. Thanks again for helping.

Hi jiffykornn ,

From the link given :

livestreamer "hlsvariant://https://gw.gyao.yahoo.co.jp/v1/hls/00998:v00311:v0000000000000000822/variant.m3u8?device_type=1100&delivery_type=2&min_bandwidth=246&appkey=52hd8q-XnozawaXc727tmojaFD.SD1yc&appid=ff_rbJCxg67.bRk_lk7CbWFjhorGVKjvFsRgiLDHW4PE.vN6zxDW6KyRr1Zw3rI-" best --http-no-ssl-verify -o 01.ts

Create a new command to get a .txt file => gyao_01.txt

livestreamer "httpstream://https://gw.gyao.yahoo.co.jp/v1/hls/00998:v00311:v0000000000000000822/variant.m3u8?device_type=1100&delivery_type=2&min_bandwidth=246&appkey=52hd8q-XnozawaXc727tmojaFD.SD1yc&appid=ff_rbJCxg67.bRk_lk7CbWFjhorGVKjvFsRgiLDHW4PE.vN6zxDW6KyRr1Zw3rI-" best --http-no-ssl-verify -o gyao_01.txt
