@Brico.

you too have my same problems with geoblocked :(
I was sure that curl could had resolved these problems, but I have to admit
that none sw/app is able (at least up to day) to bypass this strongly
geoprotected video.
ORF engineers are very good ;)

  Hi,

  For you information, video files are often split into several pieces to be
played by a browser. The URL you gave (with playlist.m3u8) should contain
the playlist of resolution available for the video. For each resolution, you
have an URL (usually chunklist.m3u8) with a list of all chunks belonging to
the video. If you want to download the full video, you have to download all
pieces (media_0.ts, media_1.ts, ...) using curl and afterwards, put them all
together using a tool like ffmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org/download.html). Here
is an example of command line: ffmpeg.exe -f concat -i
listOfChunks.txt -acodec copy -vcodec copy movie.mp4 with listOfChunks.txt
like:
  file media_0.ts
  file media_1.ts
  ...

  I did a bash script a few months ago to download such a video and it works
pretty well. Unfortunately, the video is geo-protected (only accessible from
Austria) and I can't download it to see if my script is working.

  Good luck
