[HELP] How to capture stream from SiriusXM

[Sei969]

Hello, I'm trying to capture AES128 audio stream from a SiriusXM channel:

Need a USA Vpn Browser link: https://player.siriusxm.com/home/foryou (Free preview > Channel 75) master m3u8: https://siriusxm-priprodlive.akamaized.net/AAC_Data/metropolitanopera/HLS_metropolitanopera_256k_v3/metropolitanopera_256k_large_v3.m3u8

What I get is as follow, quite indecipherable to me:

According to master.m3u8 here's the index:

Then start free preview > all channels > and choose channel 75 (Met Opera Radio).

I would love someone to help me fix it. Any suggestions are always welcome. Thank you!

You need add Header Cookie.

Find that with your browser:

and then

N_m3u8DL-CLI.exe "https://siriusxm-priprodlive.akamaized.net/AAC_Data/metropolitanopera/HLS_metropolitanopera_32k_v3/metropolitanopera_32k_large_v3.m3u8?token=1588006122_9d7bae231a1e834d2a4a6a33c9318250&consumer=k2&gupId=5291D61E3F0DD31570F665D29CC3319A" --saveName "metropolitanopera_32k_large_v3" --headers "cookie:STRING YOU FOUND"

Thank you nilaoda!

I was able to reproduce from my side. The fragments are downloaded and merged into a .ts file of about 139MB but the terminal is stuck on Waiting...

22:48:29.681 <278292 Downloading>
22:48:29.960 <278292 Complete>
22:48:29.961 <278293 Downloading>
22:48:30.241 <278293 Complete>
22:48:30.242 Waiting...

After 15 minutes of waiting I am forced to shutdown the terminal and when I try to listen the downloaded file it plays only the first 6 seconds.

I also want to ask:

1. is it possible to choose the quality of the file to download?
2. Since I also have an account how can I implement username and password in the program commands?
3. Is it possible to set a proxy command to avoid using a Vpn?

Anyway, your program is very promising. I can't wait to read your answers!

My program determines whether it is a live stream by detecting whether m3u8 ends with #EXT-X-ENDLIST

You can manually change the vod tag of meta.json to true, and the program will download the stream in the normal way. (Just use meta.json file path as url)

---

1. At this stage, there is no option to select quality.
2. This is just an m3u8 download program, and will not provide login function.
3. Currently, the system proxy settings are used automatically, and can also be disabled using commands. Use custom settings will be added in a future version.

Is N_m3u8DL-CLI support AES-128 m3u8 live? It works great with SiriusXM pre-recorded content but I can't figure out if it works with m3u8 live.
