    I think it should work right? https://regex101.com/r/FCQL63/1 – The fourth bird Oct 24 '19 at 10:57
  • Maybe you should show the code you tried. As said the previous comment, the regexp works fine. – Amessihel Oct 24 '19 at 11:01

I would use Beautiful Soup to first parse and obtain the content for the <script> tag. Then, use regex to extract the link you want.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')
script = soup.find_all('script')[0]
m = re.search(r"var bitrates = \{\s+hls: '([^']+)'\s+\};", script)
print(m.group(1))

The problem with using regex alone is that you really need a parser here to handle arbitrarily nested HTML content. Regex was not designed for this task.
