It's still possible to find an .m3u8 link, like for example this USA vs. Costa Rica Women's Soccer game:
http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/...ize/condensed/ has the following path. (It seems like j.m3u8 is now the highest quality stream - it used to be i.m3u8.

When I try to use this m3u8 link as an input and dump the file to my local drive, I'm getting all sorts of errors in framerate, video duration, etc. I think it's because the m3u8 is serving up a bunch of clips that are potentially encoded differently. I'm getting a lot of "Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:0...This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file." errors in my ffmpeg output.
Anyone have ideas how better to dump these links? Livestreamer did a good job of putting everything together but it's now saying "Unable to open URL...(400 Client Error: Bad Request)" on the multiple.m3u8 and "error: No streams found on this URL" when you give a direct link to a j.m3u8 (or any other a.m3u8, b.m3u8, ect.)
