download afreecatv steaming with ffmpeg get HTTP error 403 Forbidden

[j2ee]

I have been using the following command to download afreecatv steaming more than a year:

ffmpeg -i http://live-hls-local-cf.afreecatv.com/livestream-sg-04/auth_playlist.m3u8?aid=.A32.7b...YY1BMz3WQP5zO3 -c copy 281.mp4

However, I get the following error when I try to download afreecatv steaming today:

HTTP error 403 Forbidden
http://live-hls-local-cf.afreecatv.com/livestream-sg-04/auth_playlist.m3u8?aid=.A32.7b...Y1BMz3WQP5zO3: Server returned 403 Forbidden (access denied)

I use the latest Windows version of ffmpeg. Do you know what goes wrong? May be afreecatv stops people using ffmpeg to download streaming? Thx!

If they wanted you to download the video's they would provide a download link.

You need to provide the referer and user-agent fields to download form that site:

ffmpeg ^
    -headers "Referer: http://play.afreecatv.com/soojin1/223302098" ^
    -headers "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0" ^
    -i "http://live-hls-local-cf.afreecatv.com/livestream-sg-04/auth_playlist.m3u8?aid=.A32.7bbT56vyHM9fKZk.itU7RCshmqL_NOpjmwKSsw3-pStw25Kql_Ay5OsCIzQ4nw-6TNcCyxXbxyjjZjuD5P07JeOK7wgM6ENqSB_OetgINIUbVBRxgXECiFmdlfRDjtiZFfYY1BMz3WQP5zO3:" ^
