Hi, I'd like to download a copy of the recording hosted here:

I know how to look in the Network tab and find the .f4m file, but I'm having trouble using ffmpeg to download the entire recording. Any suggestions?

Using Livestreamer I get a 403 Client Error: Forbidden message.

If the hds (f4m) didn't have drm (but it does in this case), you'd also need to include all of that suffix code after .f4m in the livestreamer command line. There is no point here, since the hds has drm.

But the hls (m3u8) version does not have drm. The livestreamer command line will look like this (but the code below will have expired by now);

Thank you for the explanation, that's good information to know!

Is there anything I can look for in the future to determine if DRM is used besides encountering the Client Error 403 message?

Edit:
Also how did you locate the m3u8 file in this page? It doesn't show as a blockable item when I search through ABP.
