How to open protected hls-streams with FFMpeg?

[Reino]

Hello,
It's been quite some time since I last visited the forum, but now I'm having some difficulty opening protected hls-streams with FFMpeg and I was wondering if anyone knows how to open them.

The manifest-playlist opens just fine:

But FFMpeg can't open the individual hls-streams, that have a base64-encoded ID behind it:

The "LAV Splitter Source"-filter can open this hls-stream no problem, so obviously FFMpeg should be able to as well. Do I need to use some additional input options with FFMpeg perhaps? A custom header perhaps? Does anyone know?

Try a more recent build, there was a bug a while ago that broke URLs with custom parameters.

I'll head over to the FFMpeg bug tracker, as this is clearly still a bug then.

Issue fixed and fix confirmed. Thanks, Hendrik!
