Feature Request: Adding Hallmark Channel

Movies can be viewed via URLS:

The programme metadata can be found by implementing this JS (uses jQuery):

var ns_appid = "P36B92355-598D-4D11-A37C-76836D8938C6";
var spad = ns_appid.length;
var spadd;

function getSpad() {
    var d = new Date();
    spadd = d.getMonth() + 1 + spad;
    if (spadd.length == 1) {
        spadd = "0" + spadd;
    }
    return spadd;
}

function getNewestJSON() {
        var newest = "/datarnd/JSONnewest" + getSpad() + ".json?nocache=" + (new Date()).getDay();
        return $.getJSON(newest);
}

So that's all doable, giving https://www.watchhallmarktv.com/datarnd/JSONnewest42.json?nocache=1 today. However the listed video manifest URL

 "videoUrl": "//crownstreaming.akamaized.net/C3_HD_VOD_MVTV5085/C3_HD_VOD_MVTV5085.m3u8?hdnts=exp=1654298477~acl=/*~hmac=782e2d03a105580e89ff85940fd6c8dda83474280302f50922cfa0d0716c42ff"

gives 403 for me. Presumably it needs additional headers or query parameters that would be revealed by playing the movie with the browser's development tools active. Or maybe Akamai's just being unpleasant again.

I fetched the manifest URL in the same browser that delivered the JSON.

@rebublican, are you playing the content in a browser logged in to a US cable provider?

rebublican commented 2 years ago

Yes, I have YouTube TV and logged in with that.
