I want o learn how to get the m3u8

[The_Cre8r]

I have been looking on the forum for a while and I cannot find how to actually get the m3u8 for a website.

I want to use http://www.cwtv.com/shows/arrow/the-...c-fe6ae022177b as the example.


Will someone please provide me the steps so I can get the command for livestreamer.

I understand the command is

livestreamer "hlsvariant://website.com/video.m3u8" best -o output.ts


but I do not understand how to get there.

Firefox:

• Web Console [CTRL+SHIFT+K]
• Network Monitor [CTRL+SHIFT+Q]
• Adblock Plus - Blockable items on current page [CTRL+SHIFT+V]

Chrome:

• DevTools Network [CTRL+SHIFT+I]

It works on this website, but this does not mean it works everywhere.

how did you actually determine the json was where it was at?
