When the address of the stream on an m3u list is encrypted, what is the encryption being used?

by mntgoat

I have an m3u list and would like to get addresses of the streams but they all look like this:

XmoUNb2=|CWMO1vd2DHRWiD-HF.......

Most start the same way. I'm guessing it is some basic encryption, anyone have any idea what it might be?

probably not encryption, but session ID. you can probably only watch the stream for a day before needing to reconnect. This prevents people from rebroadcasting with out authorization.
