Trying to download a live stream from Vimeo

[razametal]

Hi,

i'm trying to download the live videostream from vime located at this URL: https://vimeo.com/event/3944828

With streamlink i am getting this error:

streamlink --version
streamlink 6.7.3

streamlink https://vimeo.com/event/4253884/e95c9de6ba best
[cli][info] Found matching plugin vimeo for URL https://vimeo.com/event/4253884/e95c9de6ba
[plugins.vimeo][error] The content is not available
error: No playable streams found on this URL: https://vimeo.com/event/4253884/e95c9de6ba

With ty-dlp:

 yt-dlp --version
2024.04.09

yt-dlp -F https://vimeo.com/event/4253884/e95c9de6ba
[vimeo] Extracting URL: https://vimeo.com/event/4253884/e95c9de6ba

[vimeo] 4253884: Downloading JSON metadata
ERROR: [vimeo] 4253884: Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (caused by <HTTPError 404: Not Found>)

Using the inspect tool of the web browser i can get the URL of the m3u file: https://live-ak.vimeocdn.com/exp=1715617875~acl=%2F8d9856d9-091e-47b1-a8f0-c4497d95d4a...ax_segments=10 but seems like it is changed every 20 or 30 minutes.

how can I get the stream URL of this streaming event from cli ?

Video is not rated. Log in to watch.

You may also find useful filters for FF/Chrome:
#FF:

regexp:master.json

#Ch:

/master.json/

Rename the "json" extension to "mpd" and that is your URL .....
