Hi everyone,

BT Sport (http://sport.bt.com/watch-bt-sport-01363810618853), a paid sports network here in the UK, have recently changed their streaming service from Silverlight to what appears to be a flash-based one: http://www.yospace.com/index.php/hls-sdk-for-flash-overview.html

Previously I have recorded their livestreams with OBS (screen recording software), however I understand that flash streams like these are much easier to capture directly?

I managed to find a .m3u8 link for the 720p stream (http://t1-btsport-live-hls-prod.akamaized.net/out/u/bts2/643_6.m3u8), however couldn't download it using ffmpeg/livestreamer. I think this may be because you have to login to watch the streams, although I don't have much knowledge of this area so I may be wrong. TubeDigger worked, but obviously it's paid software. Couldn't get RMC to work as I couldn't watch the stream in the DVR browser - this is all I get:

Does anyone have any other recommendations as to how I can directly record these streams, or should I just fork out ?20 for TubeDigger?

I know this is an old post but wondering if anyone got anywhere with grabbing links for BT sport?
