  1. I'm trying to download a livestream located @ http://sportscanada.tv/asaa/bball-1a-girls-live

    It is behind a paywall that is easy to bypass (inspect element, delete "tp-overlay")

    I have found this URL
    https://www.ustream.tv/embed/22802513
    and tried downloading with livestreamer-didn't work. Went to the URL directly and got the error "The owner has made this stream unavailable at this time", even though emebedd in the page it works fine, so I assume that the page sends some kind of data to show that it is emebedded.

    I also found this one:
    https://sjc-ucdn03-ntt-tcdn.ustream.tv/sjc/sjc-uhs-omega05/live/22802513/1489801726570/plain/uhs/1

    and I have no idea where to start with this one

    If I open Dev tools in chrome it shows a bunch of chunks coming from the last url above. They are in .m4v & .mp4 format.

    Any help would be nice!

    Install RefControl extention for firefox and add the site https://www.ustream.tv with custom referrer set as http://sportscanada.tv.

  3. Thanks for the suggestion @ponen. It works (one funny side affect is that the stream name is badminton finals, but it's the right stream, anyways, i digress). Now I just need to figure out how to download it. livestreamer is likely not working because of the fact that it needs to pass sportscanada.tv as a referal URL.

    Disable flash in firefox and use firefox extension to set user agent to ipad. Then you'll get m3u8 url with token that'll work with livestreamer.
