Description

I am trying to download an Instagram live video while it's streaming. Since it's a DASH stream, which youtube-dl supports, it should be possible. I got the cookies, user agent, referer and the url for the mpd file. However, I get a No Video Formats found error.
If I run the command when the live video is over, a video file is downloaded but it only has the last few seconds.
