The KODI addon Retrospect has been updated as the tv4 API obviously has changed:
https://bitbucket.org/basrieter/xbmc-online-tv/commits/ce204f98a59547b0132940eb494f1835dcc80640

New API seems to be:
https://playback-api.b17g.net/asset/3961519?service=tv4&device=browser&protocol=hls

It also seems like there is a new format for the subtitles

[Sopor]

This isn't fixed. The audio is not working. It seems to merge two video streams, DASH and HLS.

[jonsag]

Works fine for me.

Tried downloading again with my config. Same problem.
Then tried merging the files with:
$ ffmpeg -y -i 'file:NA.NAxNA.NA.fhls-1586.mp4' -i 'file:NA.NAxNA.NA.fhls-98.mp4' -c copy -map '0✌️0' -map '1🅰️0' 'file:NA.NAxNA.NA.temp.mp4'

Some way down
...
[AVBSFContext @ 0x560647e523b0] Error parsing ADTS frame header!
[AVBSFContext @ 0x560647e523b0] Failed to send packet to filter aac_adtstoasc for stream 0
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid data found when processing input
...

Problem with source file, downloading or with the merging of the files?
You should file a new issue, or start watching better shows...
