Trying to record Chaturbate ticket shows

[darkapple]

Been researching this and searching for an answer, but can't find anything useful. From my digging I have been able to determine that Chaturbate uses HLS streaming.

I'm on Linux and I have been able to record public shows with a variety of methods - streamlink works great, so does ffmpeg. I can also use mplayer to play the stream.

Problem is when a ticket show starts, even though I've got a ticket and can watch the video in my browser, trying to record/stream with anything else fails.

streamlink doesn't actually log in, so I understand why that doesn't work, but the URL for ffmpeg and mplayer includes my username and some other stuff that looks like auth tokens.

I've checked both in and out of ticket shows and the URL I'm using doesn't change. What I have noticed is the URL that works for ffmpeg and mplayer is in the form:

https://edge<number>.stream.highwebmedia.com/live-edge/amlst:<model_name>-sd-<random_string>_trns_h264/playlist.m3u8?rp=<random_string>&u=<my_username>&t =%7B%22username%22%3A%22<my_username>%22%2C%22org% 22%3A%22A%22%2C%22expire%22%3A1551326328%2C%22sig% 22%3A%22<random_string>%22%2C%22room%22%3A%22<mode l_name>%22%7D

but the actual stream in both the browser and command line keep changing and I get output like:

But if I try to stream any private show (again, that I have access to) - I get 403 Forbidden.

Can anyone help me figure out if it's even possible to capture ticket shows, and if so what I'm missing?
