beam.pro VODs don't work

[Tharn]

Hi there,

This could very well be a streamlink thing. I opened up an issue over there. But just in case that LM passes on the wrong URL as it used to with Twitch, I'll link the report here too.

Cheers!

Thanks.

[Tharn]

It looks like a fix is coming on their end.

[laurencee]

Oh ok, I'll wait to see what happens there.

The fix has been merged in Streamlink 0.5.0. Still can't connect with LM, it may be pointing at the wrong URL.

Also, some beam.pro channels show fine in the VOD browser while another one gave this error:

Thanks for the update, I'll see if I can sort it out this weekend. 👍

Hmm the API from beam.pro doesn't seem to give any other url I can use so I'm not sure if there's anything else I can do at this point.

At this point I'd have to say it's an issue with the beam.pro api providing an unusable url for the vod or something I'm overlooking.

Here's an example: https://beam.pro/api/v1/channels/1903/recordings

},
...
]
},

I've left a message in their developer forums, see if anything comes out of it: https://forums.beam.pro/topic/3262/recordings-api-returns-unusable-url-for-vods-baseurl

There's nothing more I can do at this time though.

Looks like it's going to be an easy fix from my side:

Ethan about 11 hours ago Hi, The direct URL to the VOD uses the value of the id from the API. So for the example JSON you provided, >you would be able to access that VOD at https://beam.pro/Graphoniac?vod=975048 The URLs you see in the 'vods' array in that response are for raw files (like the actual video, chat history, >etc.) and aren't actually site links. Hope that helps!

All good now in https://github.com/laurencee/Livestream.Monitor/releases/tag/2.9.5
