jwplayer video to VLC via Livestreamer?

[apumic]

Hi,

I am new here but learning quickly. I have been stuck trying to get a file downloaded via livestreamer from a site but unable to do so due to a 403 (forbidden) error. The link is not expired and I think I am properly declaring the query parameters.

Here is the code from the site:

Most pertinent code (I believe) -- line breaks added to make it easier to read:

	site_1709_media.addSource('

I have been trying to get the stream to open in VLC using variants of the following (including trying different protocols, w/ and w/o the trailing '_' in the signature and preceding "x3d" in all parameters, as well as w/ & w/o the "x26" part of the parameter key names (i.e., both w/ & w/o each of the underlined parts of the bolded URL above; line breaks added for legibility):

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

The above is not a hls source, it is a direct http mp4 source. It should work directly after all instances of the following are replaced:

\x3d <with> =

\x26 <with> &

Thank you so much! That totally makes sense. I wondered if there might be some encoding in the URL but after many many google searches, I never found what \x3d or \x26 might mean.
