I have no idea what I'm doing, but I took a look at http://api.new.livestream.com/accounts/13547932/events/7865962/videos/165037191.f4m

which provided a manifest.f4m that included the following

I took an educated guess and went to links indicated the one with the highest resolution/bitrate. Probably not doing this correctly, but I was wondering if there's something there that I could just manually download via my browser. I went to

http://vod.livestream.com/events/000000000078066a/
http://vod.livestream.com/events/000000000078066a/faf62b01-ccec-467a-92ff-02b0301f557f_2320

http://vod.livestream.com/events/000000000078066a/faf62b01-ccec-467a-92ff-02b0301f557f_2320.mp4a
http://vod.livestream.com/events/000000000078066a/faf62b01-ccec-467a-92ff-02b0301f557f_2320.mp4a.420.2
http://vod.livestream.com/events/000000000078066a/faf62b01-ccec-467a-92ff-02b0301f557f_2320.avcl.4d0029

All of these give me "Not Found", so I guess youtube-dl is not just lying to me.

I'm not sure why it can find that there are videos, provide details on the number of videos, their names, and even the total fragments and runtime in the manifest, but the videos are missing.

I've also tried using the individual URLs instead of the playlist. Provides the same result.

Tried to download some other random video

So that worked... Not sure why the other ones won't work still.
