403 Client Error: Forbidden - Need some help to get this to work.

Hi, i’m trying to watch this stream with livestreamer but i get this error:

livestreamer "hlsvariant://https://srgssruni13ch-lh.akamaihd.net/i/enc13uni_ch@191855/master.m3u8" best
[cli][info] Found matching plugin stream for URL hlsvariant://https://srgssruni13ch-lh.akamaihd.net/i/enc13uni_ch@191855/master.m3u8
error: Unable to open URL: https://srgssruni13ch-lh.akamaihd.net/i/enc13uni_ch@191855/master.m3u8 (403 Client Error: Forbidden)

Please note that you need a Swiss proxy to watch the stream on the website.

Here are some more info about the stream:

Webpage: http://www.rsi.ch/play/tv/live?channelId=LA1#?tvLiveId=livestream_La2&index=all HTTP-HDS - http://srgssruni13ch-lh.akamaihd.net/z/enc13uni_ch@191855/manifest.f4m HTTP-HLS - https://srgssruni13ch-lh.akamaihd.net/i/enc13uni_ch@191855/master.m3u8 http://pastebin.com/8NDEAaQv

I got this url sniffing with Url Helper, i don’t know if it’s usefull:

I tried with the protocols hds:// hls:// hlsvariant:// without luck. All the attempts have been made using Tunnelbear Vpn connected to Switzerland.

Thank you

Switch to HLS.

(Yet another new comment instead of edit, incase you see these via email… 😄)

Try to sniff the URL again (hint: browser dev tools & network tab is enough) and get this instead:

http://srgssruni13ch-lh.akamaihd.net/z/enc13uni_ch@191855/manifest.f4m?hdnts=exp%3D1459094735~acl%3D%2Fz%2Fenc13uni_ch%40191855%2F*~hmac%3Db80eb816ae0dfb876af47d9bcbbf0602ce5738e623b5b60f728123b91c1f0dd7&g=RXVYYEUTNHXI&hdcore=3.7.0&plugin=aasp-3.7.0.39.44

The try this sort of format:

livestreamer "hds://URL_LIKE_ABOVE_HERE pvswf=URL_TO_FLASHPLAYER.swf" best

Find the flash player path from page source or via dev tools. I can’t test this anyway as I only have Tunnelbear browser addon.
