[error] Failed to create decryptor: Unable to open URL: #1144

Not sure why this isn't working. I'm passing cookie and proper user agent. It works fine in ffmpeg.

  livestreamer \
    -l debug \
    --http-header 'Cookie=${cookie}' \
    --http-header 'User-Agent=iPhone' \
    "hls://${input}" \
    best \
    -o video.ts

My suspicion is the headers aren't being passed along to the secondary request for the key.

I don't think so. Headers are passed correctly (also for HLS key requests). I have tested this successfully some time ago.

would it help if we did a skype session? I'm happy to show you what i'm doing, but due to expiration I can't paste the url/cookies here as it will expired.

To quickly check what's going on, you can use tools like Wireshark. Monitoring your network traffic while Livestreamer is running, will certainly point you in the right direction.

I don't know what's going on in your case, but if the key file inside the playlist points to wrong URL, Livestreamer won't be able to request the key properly (#1097). In this case we would need a command line option to pass a valid URL to the key file.
