Could you please explain how to obtain playlist.m3u8 link ?

I didn't find anything in developer tools.

[[ss]vegeta]

I didn't find anything in developer tools.

Network tab of developer tools.
Do a refresh or open developer tools before loading the page/video.
If it still doesn't work, post a screenshot of your network tab in developer tools or better yet, record a video of you trying and not finding it.

[mister_ nex]

Developer tools

Here only mpd. Maybe somewhere hidden m3u8 link ? Just curious.

the browser is requesting the mpd therefore using the one time token, so when you copy and paste into cmd its the second request.
in browser dev tools > network tab - right click on the mpd request and choose "block request domain" (chrome)
reload the page and in the network tab find the mpd request again. it should be the colour red as it is blocked by the browser. copy that link and use it with streamlink and it should be successful.

the other option is to generate a new token with the request to this url "https://www.proprep.com/api/Tokens/Add" but the above way is simpler.

@ElCap, thanks for sharing from your vault of incredible knowledge.

[lomero]

Thank you for the solution @ElCap It helped me really.
