hey, just wanted to let you know that a hotfix for this is to veiw the page source, ctrl+f ".m3u8", copy/paste the link, change unicode escape characters like \u002F to their actual characters. (replace \u002F to /). and execute

[CeruleanSky]

For the live stream, you can get the m3u8 from the url as follows:

re.compile(r'^https?://(?:www.)?dlive.tv/(\w+).*$')
username = _RE_URL.match(url).group(1)
m3u8 = 'https://live.dlivecdn.com/hls/live/{0}.m3u8'.format(username)

The live.dlivecdn.com m3u8 will contain as such as "https://mn-nl-glb.mncdn.com/dlive/transcode-X-XXX/username/playlist.m3u8" which will 404 when the livestream is offline.

youtube-dl works fine with a direct link to https://live.dlivecdn.com/hls/live/{0}.m3u8'.format(username) when the stream is online.

Thanks for the details! Been using the .m3u8 bit since the other user suggested it, until the site gets more official support.
