Including the exact ffmpeg command and complete uncut output is almost always a good idea. However, that doesn't necessarily make the question any better suited for the ffmpeg-user mailing list. Your question boils down to: "how do I find a changing URL?", the usage of ffmpeg is incidental, I hope you would agree. Another example would be something like, "What is the best keyboard to type out ffmpeg commands?" Yes, this is contrived and ridiculous for the purposes of illustration. [1] To address stefano roveda's point- discussions can be interesting to some, even if they are off-topic. But Reino is right to point out more productive places to have such discussions. I did too! The point is to better serve all parties- a place that specialises in extracting URLs for videos so that they can be downloaded -- like yt-dlp or youtube-dl ! -- is more likely to have experience with that sort of thing and so serve Bo Berglund better than here. Discussing in that place or with those folks would also spare the list replies like "my version of xidel does not have that option" or "the URL worked yesterday but not today"; which are in my view definitely off-topic, even if the original query was on-topic. I don't speak for the ffmpeg or the ffmpeg-user mailing list in any official capacity. That said, list etiquette is everyone's business :) Cheers, Rob ---- [1]: Stack Overflow had this sort of issue back in the day- people would append "for programmers" to an off-topic question to make it appear ostensibly on-topic. [2] This got to the point where someone asked a question along the lines of 'What do I need to do in order to be a programmer out at sea?' [3], and hilarity/chaos ensued.
