    I am trying to download the free Tennis Channel 2 sports channel. The URL is https://www.tennischannel.com/en-us/video/tennischannel-2-broadcast/1755560. To do this, I am using the following N_M3U9DL-RE command (I have redacted confidential information):

    Code:
    N_m3u8DL-RE "URL" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:149.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/149.0" -H "Accept: */*" -H "Origin: https://www.tennischannel.com" -H "Referer: https://www.tennischannel.com/" -H "DNT: 1" -H "Sec-GPC: 1" --key KID:KEY --decryption-engine SHAKA_PACKAGER --live-real-time-merge --live-pipe-mux --tmp-dir E:\tmp --save-dir E:\save
    This command works fine initially, and lets me select video and audio streams to download. However, after a few minutes, I get the following error:
    Unhandled exception: System.IO.IOException: Pipe is broken.
    I don't understand why this happens, because I have tried downloading a bunch of other IPTV channels with N_M3U8DL-RE, and they work just fine. Can somebody please help me understand why the Tennis Channel 2 is so unreliable?

    Nevermind, I figured out an alternate way to get it by using Streamlink and Pluto.TV. This thread can be locked.
