Troller,

How can I work out what parameters come after url to get json output, like: ?format=hls&language=en

I tried to replicate your trick on "http://play.tv/live-tv/908/i24-news-english/?format=hls&language=en" and result:

message : "Une erreur est survenue. Veuillez réessayer un peu plus tard."

That url plays the same stream as "http://uk.play.tv/player/play/i24-news-uk/" and params ?format=hls&language=en don't work.
