Description

Tried to download a live from twitcasting.tv but didn’t work. Also tried a vod from the same site with no luck.

[pukkandan]

Twitcasting live and channels are not supported. Only VOD is supported although even that is currently broken

I know how to fix the regex for the VOD, but the m3u8 download is still failing with a 502 and I’m not sure how to fix it

To get the video stream the site sends a GET request to https://ja.twitcasting.tv/streamserver.php?target=<uploader_id>&mode=client which responds with json containing the stream url. The stream seems to be using websockets (wss).

@colethedj This is only for livestreams. The vods are downloaded from an m3u8 that looks like https://dl01.twitcasting.tv/tc.vod/v/2357609-1617797211-1617826011-2c2689a5-18c7201000782cc6/fmp4/index.m3u8
