• Right click on the request line and look for Copy as cURL or Copy Request Headers menu or alike, then pick up the cookie.
• Use browser extension to export cookies to a file, and use the --cookies option. How do I pass cookies to youtube-dl?

What would happen if you add --hls-prefer-native option to youtube-dl?

There is an error:

[hls @ 0x55f50879de00] Unable to open key file https://ots.aceenggacademy.com/vod/svideo/k/70209185-10b9-4c54-8e88-45b1720e5ffc/enc2.key

You need to find out how to get around this error.
