The hds fragments here don't have encryption. Requesting the hds manifest requires a cookie.

Instead of hds, this live streaming content can also be downloaded by http.

Load the mediaselector page (may be geo-restricted);

http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/version/2.0/mediaset/journalism-pc/vpid/p021gqsy

From mediaselector page, choose "href=" url that ends with "__gda__=" (followed by some single-use code), like this expired example;

h..p://bbcsportuk-f.akamaihd.net/sport_stream_14_80@s35975?__gda__= (some code here)

Download directly from this url.

Thanks for helping, but I can't seem to figure out what you mean with this?

When I open that url I just get this:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<mediaSelection xmlns="http://bbc.co.uk/2008/mp/mediaselection">
<error id="selectionunavailable"/>
</mediaSelection>

How do you get to see the "href=" thing?
Are you sure you posted the right url?

That is because that show (from Friday) is over now.
