Question
I've been using the program to download some HLS videos and passing auth keys manually (header authorization). It all worked fine until earlier today. The download starts fine, but then it completely stops after a while and it never progresses. I thought it was a connection problem but it's not that.
What's weird is that the exact same parameters passed to streamlink continue to work.
So I'm asking for some advice. Is it possible the site is detecting youtube-dl and blocking the download for some reason? Could it be an user agent issue (I tried to change it, but it didn't fix the problem)? What is server side streamlink doing differently that can make it still work and instead stops youtube-dl?
I only though the user agent might be different, but maybe it's something else.
