Updating ustvgo.m3u8 playlist...

• Play collected playlist:

vlc ustvgo.m3u8 --adaptive-use-access

• If you run script on dedicated headless server and bump into erros like Failed to collect link - seems like you don't have AVC codecs installed on your server, try install them with

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

if you have ubuntu server installed or commonly

sudo apt-get install libavcodec58 libav-tools

• If you get errors and now guessing what's going wrong, try to run script with --no-headless argument to see what's going on in the browser

python3 download.py --no-headless

or

python3 update.py --no-headless

• In case if you're not a native speaker and use TV, Cartoons, Movies and Shows to learn the language - on some channels you can turn on subtitles that make it easier pretty much.
