Getting this live stream to work in VLC

GoogleTime · #1 11-04-2014, 10:16 PM

So I'm trying to watch this Fios1News live stream in VLC instead of the in-browser player, so I gotta extract the stream URL and that's a bit challenging. Maybe somebody here can help?

I've isolated the url of the player by itself so here's that: http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/html5/html...amerType]=auto

If I do CTRL+Shift+K when I first load the page, a manifest.f4m link comes up and here's whats in there:

http://urtmpkal-f.akamaihd.net/z/11s...p-3.1.0.43.124

Code:

I am looking to use the highest bitrate streams. Any help is appreciated.
