Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Weverse is a website where musicians can interact with fans. The website also allows musicians to livestream but in order to view a livestream you have to be logged in. When the livestream ends it’s uploaded as a video. I found a reddit thread where an user mentioned they could get the m3u8/mpd files but they couldn’t get past the 403 forbidden error. reddit thread

Musicians can also post videos but these have a download button so I am not sure if support for this should be added. Example url: https://weverse.io/blackpink/artist/1-101521998

Will this now be “implemented” in the yt-dlp to work without that compley m3u8 stuff?

I’ve submitted a PR (#5528) that addresses generic VOD HLS streams which need their playlist URL’s query appended to their segment URLs

[swith-wiz-kev]

if you can find the link of the m3u8 file, and do some simple find and replace on the m3u8, you can download the weverse live video.

the problem is that if you find the m3u8 and just paste it on the command line, it will return the 403 error for example:

yt-dlp https://weverse-rmcnmv.akamaized.net/c/read/v2/VOD_ALPHA/weverse_2022_10_29_0/hls/211decac-579b-11ed-ab80-48df37269fd0.m3u8?__gda__=1667213637_55d66afcafc74d033cf5e6affe0e7f43

this will download the m3u8 and this is what the m3u8 contains:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:4
#EXTINF:4.000000,
211decac-579b-11ed-ab80-48df37269fd0-000000.ts
#EXTINF:4.000000,
211decac-579b-11ed-ab80-48df37269fd0-000001.ts
#EXTINF:4.000000,
211decac-579b-11ed-ab80-48df37269fd0-000002.ts
.
.

the next part is yt-dlp downloads the fragments and probably uses the url:

https://weverse-rmcnmv.akamaized.net/c/read/v2/VOD_ALPHA/weverse_2022_10_29_0/hls/211decac-579b-11ed-ab80-48df37269fd0-000001.ts
https://weverse-rmcnmv.akamaized.net/c/read/v2/VOD_ALPHA/weverse_2022_10_29_0/hls/211decac-579b-11ed-ab80-48df37269fd0-000002.ts
.
.

this will result in 403 because you need the gda part on the original link. the link you need is:

https://weverse-rmcnmv.akamaized.net/c/read/v2/VOD_ALPHA/weverse_2022_10_29_0/hls/211decac-579b-11ed-ab80-48df37269fd0-000000.ts?__gda__=1667213637_55d66afcafc74d033cf5e6affe0e7f43
.
.

so what you need to do is replace each .ts in the m3u8 to include the extra part, and also to write the complete url (because relative url is not gonna work if you will use a different website to host your modified m3u8)
