May I know which issue this is a duplicate of please? Is there already support for Instagram's Live Videos (not Stories) and how should I go about downloading them with youtube-dl?
I'd like to know as well
@dstftw can you please provide a link to the duplicate issue?
I tried using youtube-dl to download the Instagram live video stream using the dash url used by instagram that I grabbed using Firefox developer tools. However it fails with a 403 error. I tried setting the cookies, referer and user agent to those used by Firefox but it didn't work.

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information
Instagram Stories live videos use .mpd manifests, and as youtube-dl has a mpd downloader, I thought it may be possible to download them. I used the chrome extension "Chrome IG Story", then the network inspector to grab the mpd file.
