BBC World news has been pulled off our PayTV service as they want everyone to use their "app" but.... I thought it would be easier to use MC, but can't get it to work. 

I can see that the URL for their live stream for me here in Oz is:

FWIW, I can use the following script for ffmpeg and that works fine, so it's not that the link is blocked or unavailable to me.

Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -user_agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/128.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" -referer "https://www.bbc.com/watch-live-news" -i "https://vs-cmaf-pushb-apac-gcomm.live.cf.md.bbci.co.uk/x=4/i=urn:bbc:pips:service:bbc_world_news_africa/pc_hd_abr_v2.mpd" -c copy "pc_hd_abr_v2.ts"
