Can you show me what to parse out in order for the -debug switch to work with such a manifest?

Thanks!
The event programs use authenticated time-limited urls for the f4m manifest. The syntax would be much like the example given by ehurdler in post #10 of this thread... only adjusted to reflect your authentication particulars.

You probably don't want to waste time, or an authenticated f4m manifest url access, doing a debug command. You know the quality levels already, have separate command windows open and do one each for the audio and video before the manifest url expires. Or you could do them consecutively, but you'd have to get a new manifest url before you do the second one as the first will likely have expired.

What was the problem you had using the ios url (m3u8) w/ffmpeg (as provided by chap) for an event program? I had no trouble, although I did the audio and video in separate consecutive ffmpeg sequences, rather than as two inputs to ffmpeg as a single command as chap has it. The ios urls for the manifest need no authentication even for event programs.
