Livestreamer m3u8 error - no plugin

[bako]

Total noob and no idea what I'm doing. But tried to record a .m3u8 stream using Livestreamer which fails. The list of *.ts streamed video chunks shown by the browser inspect are at the bottom of this post. Is there another way to do this using VLC media player maybe?

c:\> livestreamer "https://gumroad.com/r/5f9b207d2c50f31d5713cf3d687c2768/iRMYo0fuV5IdvPdb0DzUbw==/index.m3u8" best -o 480p.ts

error: No plugin can handle URL: https://gumroad.com/r/5f9b207d2c50f3...w==/index.m3u8

Thanks for the reply. Will try it. -bako

yeah, it worked.
I'm currently using the browser web console in Firefox to see the index.m3u8 and stream URL's. Is there an easier way to extract/view these?... with Livestreamer, Curl, or some other command line tool?
