Description

@blackjack4494 this seems to be a regex error too, can u please take a look at it. Thanks

P.S.: use a vpn

[blackjack4494]

You might be right. What country is needed to visit this site?
I will see if my internet is fixed again later or whether I still have issues.

This works in INDIA.

You were right. It's a regex error. They changed the url pattern.
However I do not know yet what id they expect or need.
I believe it's just the really last part with digits. But I guess my VPN is having issues right now.

Yes i guess u are right about the id

this link needs to match

1000022211

If you are not able to login to the vpn, then let me know, i can provide a new one.

Thanks

@blackjack4494 m8 while is the vpn is still working, can u pls take a look at this too?

@Ashish0804

They are using different url structure for different stuff. For shows and sports: sonyliv.com/shows/showname-10x/episodename-10x sonyliv.com/sports/showname-10x/episodename-10x

But for movies: sonyliv.com/movies/moviename-10x

where 10x => 10 digit number of the video id

Hotstar has an easier implementation, where hotstar.com/videoid will redirect to the appropriate video, irrespective of the content category. I am not good with regex in particular, so hopefully @blackjack4494 can use this info and try an appropriate regex. I will try myself in the meantime.

Yeah, they are using DRM even for free to play videos.
