Description

This is more or a question than a bug or feature request. I'm trying to download the stream from pscp.tv, but I'm not sure how. This is the first time I've encountered the error "401 Client Error: replay requires cookie auth for url" from streamlink and I'm not sure how to add the cookie auth. I looked at the command-line documentation, but I've no idea how to add it. If it's possible to add support for pscp.tv that'd be great, but I'll settle for help downloading this one video. Thanks in advance.

Reproduction steps / Explicit stream URLs to test

1. Find and copy m3u8 url from https://www.pscp.tv/atomtb_anime/1YqKDwbqXLNxV
2. streamlink "hls://https://prod-video-eu-central-1.pscp.tv/78ra98MLq2QPXE9nNztM_VnIM60ax7vhGBgN9e8esaAuwe0GH3J1zJ6-3wLtpZCJY0m1plZBkq-gGPRRgZh1ug/replay/eu-central-1/periscope-replay-direct-prod-eu-central-1-public/playlist_16951451490713662630.m3u8" best -o "file.ts"

(I don't think you need a VPN connection...)

You can either upgrade to version 0.5.0 (or higher) for pscp.tv link support, or just use the old periscope url

streamlink https://www.periscope.tv/atomtb_anime/1YqKDwbqXLNxV best -o file.ts

Going to close the thread, since this the question has been answered (thanks @zp) and the plugin
has been fixed in one of the recent streamlink releases.
