Description

I was just downloading videos on Twitcasting and it was working fine yesterday until it stopped working today. I'm getting the unable to extract movie playlist error. Their weekly site maintenance ended 1/12/2021 per their post on Twitter. I've tried using a vpn and connecting to different countries and still had no luck.

play the video and press F12 on your keyboard to bring up the debug menu, go to network - all - type index in the search box - index.m3u8 will show, just copy the URL and paste it into youtube-dl to download the video.

Twitcasting livestream videos are in segments of .m4s so I need to grab all of it and so there are no .m3u8 resources where I can copy the URL.

I have the same issue, no .m3u8 resources. i have never used twitcasting before today though.

Ah I found the index.m3u8 resource and this reddit thread on r/youtubedl provided some insight on this problem https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedl/comments/l0oxgv/twitcasting_problems/
