LOL. Its the reverse for me. Livestreamer works like a charm for everything but ffmpeg does not work for sports videos.

What's the code you use for downloading sports videos using ffmpeg?

Take the video above as an example.

As for livestreamer i use this code:

livestreamer "hlsvariant://https://staruvod1-vh.akamaihd.net/i/vod/ipl2015/matches/07_05_2015/635666291714738206_,180,400,800,1300,2000,_STAR.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8?hdnea=st=1433939859~exp=1433940459~acl=/*~hmac=56f9fc18c7b4386594d88c4cb4bef0225831db66e528871cae27964b312dd08f&g=LRWAFRNGEKXL&hdcore=3.7.0&plugin=aasp-3.7.0.39.44" best -o ChawlaShot.ts

And the file extension you used is '.ts' . I want to download in mp4 format thats why i am asking ffmpeg code because livestreamer works like a charm if i want to download in .ts format.

Thanks in advance.

You can simply change the container to MP4:

ffmpeg -i 01.ts -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc 01.mp4

It only takes a few seconds [depends on the file size].

@nullchat: Thanks.

Ok massive thanks everybody for the help. Now i download sports video from livestreamer and change container with ffmpeg.

But still i would like to know why ffmpeg does not download sports video? Thanks in advance.
