I have been using ffmepg and many tools to download online videos but I have the following case:

The main m3u8 file from the streaming server shows different resolutions:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=133241,RESOLUTION=426x240, CODECS="avc1.42e00a,mp4a.40.2"
240.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=216379,RESOLUTION=640x360, CODECS="avc1.42e00a,mp4a.40.2"
360.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=239756,RESOLUTION=852x480, CODECS="avc1.42e00a,mp4a.40.2"
480.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=408978,RESOLUTION=1280x720, CODECS="avc1.42e00a,mp4a.40.2"
720.m3u8

Then for every resolution there are 2 files, for example let us pick the 720:

720.m3u8
720.key

The 720.m3u8 has the segments and the 720.key has base64 encrypted key

Now when I use ffmpeg I got the following error:

[https @ 0x7fc00a40e0c0] HTTP error 403 Forbidden
[hls @ 0x7fc00a204100] Unable to open key file https://hls2.videos.*****/video/720.key

I was sure that I added all the required headers in my ffmpeg command:

-user_agent
-referer

I am not sure what is the problem and I have tested all other tools like yt-dlp, yotube-dl and streamlink

  • We couldn't possibly know what information your server requires. Contact whomever is running the server and ask them what headers to send. Probably a session cookie or something. – Brad Mar 16 '22 at 03:04
