Download video from Boxcast

[WJBode]

I'm trying to download a livestream event hosted by Boxcast and can't get it to work with youtube-dl.

Here's the link they published: https://www.acschools.org/Domain/598

I used the inspect element function in Chrome to get the direct video link: https://boxcast.tv/view-embed/lebanon-county-band-show-ssws0imr3cktvaky8kdb

When I try to get it with youtube-dl, I get the following message:

C:\Temp> youtube-dl.exe https://boxcast.tv/view-embed/lebanon-county-band-show-ssws0imr3cktvaky8kdb
[generic] lebanon-county-band-show-ssws0imr3cktvaky8kdb: Requesting header

ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://boxcast.tv/view-embed/lebanon-county-band-show-ssws0imr3cktvaky8kdb

Is there a different URL I should be using? Or another app or website I can use? Thanks for any help!

I copied & pasted the command and got an HTTP Error 403: Forbidden message.

I can still view the video at the links I provided, with no login information. Any idea what could be happening?

Use StreamDetector Addon for Firefox to get a fresh link
