did you check the video. can you use --verbose option also. because the video says download some app

[remitamine]

did you check the video.

I did, it's the same video played in the browser.

[pastuh]

Tested same URL with youtube-dl and got this error:
`

https://hssportsprepack.akamaized.net/videos/cricket/indvswi2018//24_10_2018/2001620102/master_Layer8.m3u8: Server returned 403 Forbidden (access denied)

Why not working?
I use Psiphon VPN

https://pastebin.com/NWffUPp4
With --verbose:
https://pastebin.com/BihntgMT

EDIT:
But its possible to download, if i use proxy (but very slow..)
So why proxy works, but not VPN..
Working example:
youtube-dl --proxy 103.84.166.6:36754 https://www.hotstar.com/tv/saraswatichandra/s-8/saraswatichandras-struggles/1000001053/

So why proxy works, but not VPN.

most likely Hotstar banned some of Psiphon IPs.
