You can send headers with FFmpeg
Linux
ffmpeg -i INPUT -headers $'Cookie: logged_in=yes; tracker=direct\r\n'
Windows
powershell ffmpeg -i INPUT -headers "Cookie: logged_in=yes; tracker=direct`r`n"
Zombo

ok, I was reading about that but I want the posibility to save cookies between playlist calls. Actually my server need the cookies saved to calculate the next playlist m3u8 – Rodrigo Amaro Reveco Apr 22 '13 at 22:44

1@Akito, I found similar script https://github.com/als888/a/blob/master/scripts/ff-cookie.sh but you have to replace `ffplay` with `ffmpeg` – Maxim Suslov Jan 24 '23 at 09:47

There's no cookie support in ffmpeg. You'll need to implement that part on your own or perhaps use mplayer which supports cookies.
