AES encryption, HLS stream. What syntax?

See original GitHub issue

Hi guys, I was on Livestreamer but somebody suggested me to try streamlink so here I am!

Sorry for my profane language but I’m no programmer.

I’m trying to download a .m3u8 stream. I’m subscribed to the service offering that stream but I wouldn’t know what command to write to pass my key. Actual website is hidden for privacy reasons.

Right now I write streamlink "hls://https://fakelinkto.m3u8" best -o video.ts

But I receive Failed to create decryptor: unable to open URL: https://fakelinktokey.php (403 Client error forbidden)

Would anybody point me in the right direction? Many thanks

Not sure… If you want me to create a plugin drop me an email beardypig@protonmail.com, you’d have to lend me your login details as I don’t have an account. If not, I’m out of ideas 😃
