Would you happen to know how to download WatchESPN streams?

KSV's AdobeHDS Link Detector doesn't detect any links from ESPN streams

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When using Firefox, right after the the "archived" WatchESPN stream begins to play (or during the advertisement, or actually during when you first load up the separate window pop-up screen that shows the WatchESPN event, click these three things on your keyboard at the same time.... Ctrl key + Shift Key + i (i as in iceland)

So once again, it's Ctrl key + Shift Key + i

It'll pop up with the console and you can search for "m3u8"
Once you have the proper m3u8 file (the i.m3u8 file used to be the highest quality in WatchESPN, now it's the j.m3u8 file which sometimes takes longer to pop up).

i.m3u8 used to be 720p, now it's almost 720p (much better than standard still)

j.m3u8 is the true 720p one now.

You can use the m3u8 file in command prompt using FFMPEG.
WatchESPN tends to work better now with FFMPEG than it does with LiveStreamer (it used to work great with LiveStreamer until recently).
