The damn vid is not available anywhere else.

Extra bonus annoyance - it’s only available if you’re in/near Seattle. Or if you use a VPN like I did. I don’t know much but I tried everything I could think of and I got nowhere. For example - I tried to download the source src.

    Thanks.

    Network tab

    I know how to use yt-dlp

    But I always get stuck in the damn network tab. I have no idea what I’m doing. Where are the vid streams hiding? Network > sources >page? So close yet so far away.

      Your network section is obscured. I don’t use chrome but I suppose it is the very thin white area above “sources” and below where you typed m3u8. Try dragging its edge to make it bigger.

      As others have said, you’ve got the console drawer (with the tabs “Console,” “Elements,” “Sources”, “Issues”) obscuring all the content in the main panel, with only that tiny sliver poking through. You can either close it entirely with the x all the way to the right (which is what I do) or resize it by dragging. To re-add any tabs from the console drawer to the main panel, click the ⋮ in the upper right-hand corner of the panel, then “More tools” to show all the tabs you can add.
