Are you sure about the link in the log? Isn't is an expired temporary link, hence 404?

The play.shtml page is pretty unhelpful too. It looks like we should be able to use a playlist link in the page like /pls/portal/r_mediathek.p_buttons?LIVE=&P_INR=170 or /pls/portal/r_mediathek.p_live?LIVE= to get media details, but the first gives a link that goes 404 and the second is empty. Is there some geographical discrimination?

The first one gives me

	??Download

The second one is empty.

I don't know if they're geoblocking or trying to avoid non-interactive clients, but happy to assist with further research.

I tried the first link via SSH forwarding from Iceland and it works. I doubt that's the problem.

If you go to https://www.parlament.gv.at/MEDIA/play.shtml?GP=XXVII&INR=170&ITYP=NRSITZ&INR_TEIL=1&DEBATTE=300, there's a download link... I'd take it from there.
