I guess I was expecting too much of them when it came to security. The trick is URL editing. I believe @LZAA did the same. You start from input looking like this:
- capture 2160.m3u8 from here

- use the key from here

- use a fresh new fragment 0 index ts URL like this one

Using those 3 inputs, you're gonna need to process the 2160.m3u8 file to look like this:
2160_processed.txt

You don't really need a script for this since Notepad and "replace all" are enough.
2160_ => replace all with => FIRST URL PART + 2160_
and
.ts => replace all with => .ts + SECOND URL PART

I'm sure you are capable of figuring out on your own what are the 2 parts by simply looking at the input and the processed output. Don't forget you only do this for fresh fragment URLs because the query parameters that are used for authentication can expire.

And then you run:

N_m3u8DL-RE.exe 2160_processed.m3u8

You're gonna get a few 403 forbidden errors (don't worry about those though) at the end because the last fragments are fake (??? I have no idea what are those. Perhaps they're extra content hidden behind a paywall that requires another set of authentication parameters). In the previous case I just deleted them myself to avoid the error but you can ignore it.

Regardless, maybe someone else can give you the direct N_m3u8 command. I know you can use it for base URLs but for query parameters I dunno.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

You're a legend!

No need to thank me for this. Be glad that @LZAA actually bothered to look carefully through your stuff. Kudos to him. VLC failed to decrypt the local fragments and I gave up instantly and assumed the worst-case scenario.

Yes, thank you both so much!

I'm grateful to you both for helping me on this!
