Question

Trouble downloading m3u8 from a livestream


Hi there.
I've been trying to download a livestream which i found that the m3u8 file is located here: http://positivo-live.ripple.ticdn.it.../playlist.m3u8

when I tried to download it to get the different manifests for the different versions i only see this:
Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=818740,CODECS="avc1.77.30,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=640x360
chunklist.m3u8
So I tried using that m3u8 file which doesn't work.

I tried using ffmpeg directly like:
Code:
ffmpeg.exe -i "http://positivo-live.ripple.ticdn.it/giffoniff/myStream/playlist.m3u8" -c copy "video.ts"
(and i even changed playlist.m3u8 to chunklist.m3u8).

I also tried youtube-dl but it created a file (the livestream began with like an hour and a half or two of nonsense before the real video started) but then it stopped downloading and now i cant do that again.

Code:
youtube-dl.exe http://positivo-live.ripple.ticdn.it/giffoniff/myStream/playlist.m3u8 --ffmpeg-location C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg-20131204-git-f65afef-win32-static\bin
Using that line it stopped at this part:
Code:
frame=36205 fps= 16 q=-1.0 size=  108958kB time=24:17:57.92 bitrate=  10.2kbits/
as I said, it's still nonsense in the video (and i had to rename the file to .mp4)

During the stream I was able to get a lot of ".ts" urls but when i tried accessing them after a while they were offline. I only managed to download the last ones.

For example:
Code:
http://positivo-live.ripple.ticdn.it/giffoniff/myStream/media-uiwv1wlm4_774.ts
(it's now offline too, apparently they only lasted like a minute or less online)

Anyway, is there any way i can get this stream? Not the first part which as i said it's nonsense but like after the first hour and a half.

thank you!
