you need to use the following:
youtube-dl --add-header "x-playback-session-id: THEXPLAYBACKID" "MPDLINK"
Just replace THEXPLAYBACKID and MPDLINK by searching for the respective data in the network tab in developer mode. You can open it by pressing f12. Don't forget to reload the site after that and simply search 'mpd' and 'x-playback-session-id'

Did u try searching for mpd in the search bar? This is called mpd link cuz it ends with .mpd. You can read https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedl/comments/jzd7ig/cant_download_from_sonyliv_website/ for more help.

@remitamine hey are you still working on this?

[remitamine]

no, the VPN provided by @Mouse753 didn't work for me(problem with OpenVPN config), and i did try later to access with proxies which did allow to access the website(didn't test if access to the manifests is possible), now the website seems to require an account to access any video, i will try later to check again.
