Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
Lifetime Movie Club seems to have moved their subdomain to watch.lifetimemovieclub.com and previously it was supported with the www domain and using Developer tools to use the .m3u8 workaround returns an HTTP 403 forbidden error. Credentials were not needed originally, using the Youtube-dl commands to enter credentials did not work either. #26795 references this problem, but the play subdomain is not what Lifetime Movie Club is using.

I had been using the aenetworks extractor for months, it broke when Lifetime Movie Club moved to the subdomain watch.lifetimemovieclub.com. My latest solution is to sniff out the m3u8 file using the Network filter and using the --referer and --user-agent flags on Youtube-dl.

referer is the url in the address bar in this case the movie player page
User Agent can be found by Google

Example:

youtube-dl --referer "https://watch.lifetimemovieclub.com/movie/...." --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.195 Safari/537.36" [URL OF THE MOVIE M3U8 GOES HERE]
