Problem with ITV m3u8 - autentication needed?

by Enzissimo

Hi there! I wish to view ITV on my LG tv webos by ssiptv. With streamlink I extracted m3u8 stream link of the single channels from the official site but they can't be watched in vlc or in tv. Where i'm doing wrong? I think it could be that in the site I need to authenticate myself. How can I do in the m3u file?

Thanks a lot!

You in the UK? Like every other provider they use hashes to expire links.

M3u links are constructed like this...

http://XXXXXXXXXXX:80/get.php?username=XXXXXXXXX&password=XXXXXXXX&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

First lot of X's are your domain Second lot of X's are your username Third lot of X's are your password

Hey, I'm currently having issues with ITV. I was able to use streamlink to download last week, but this week it's failing with "read timed out" and the website wants me to authenticate. So it seems like they've changed something.

Not sure how to work around it.
