here is another log for [npo.nl] with the same error, and the same calls as rutgervanwilligen had.

@rutgervanwilligen @nehrwert open a new issue for the npo.nl problem, it's unrelated to the yahoo problem.

[rutgervanwilligen]

Thanks for your reply, will do.

[jaimeMF]

@deathstroke14 It works fine here, did you try to download the video when it was live?

[deathstroke14]

@jaimeMF yes but every time I got the same error... finally I could download with ffmpeg using .m3u8 http://s30.postimg.org/ik8wbg4b5/ffmpeg.jpg

[jaimeMF]

Ok, we'll need to add support for live videos.
