Description

something to mention before the details , the mpd is only availble with a valid token, and this token is valid only ones, after using a get/post request via this token it get revoke so u cant use the same token twice.

while using youtube-dl it receive a 403 forbiden , however using streamlink with the same link (with a new token) it does not get a 403 forbiden.
at first i thought perhaps its a user-agent or any other type of restriction but its not,
1, i tried with different headers and user-agent (with the same headers as my browser)
2, i used curl & wget with the same link (with different valid token) , no one of them receive a 403.
2.a the token was received from a browser , meaning the token is does not being validated /post with the user-agent.
3, since the token is only valid ones , the token get revoked after the second time of use, and this is when the 403 forbiden comes in,
3, u will get the 403 after u used the token ones.

i am not sure but maybe youtube-dl goes and check if its availble and then goes back to it to download it ? (meaning it does 2 request to it.?)
(because it seems like that > > > https://imgur.com/vcvdN4G )

The maintainers seem to be on a break. No commits for 2 weeks. What website are you trying to download from (where is the stream from)?

hmm i wonder when they will come back to fix this , or at least adding a feature for -noack or -nocheck or something like that .
