jwplayer video to VLC via Livestreamer?

[apumic]

Hi,

I am new here but learning quickly. I have been stuck trying to get a file downloaded via livestreamer from a site but unable to do so due to a 403 (forbidden) error. The link is not expired and I think I am properly declaring the query parameters.

Here is the code from the site:

Most pertinent code (I believe) -- line breaks added to make it easier to read:

	site_1709_media.addSource('

1280, '720p');

Full call:

I have been trying to get the stream to open in VLC using variants of the following (including trying different protocols, w/ and w/o the trailing '_' in the signature and preceding "x3d" in all parameters, as well as w/ & w/o the "x26" part of the parameter key names (i.e., both w/ & w/o each of the underlined parts of the bolded URL above; line breaks added for legibility):

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
