Opening a livestream in python

[JosefFilosopio]

Hello everyone,

For a project I need to open a live stream in python. I guess a way to do this is with openCV but I am not sure.
I have a link to the source of the file which looks like this:

http://xxx.com:9999/xxx/cam.stream/playlist.m3u8

Then there is a second problem, when I enter the page where it is located now, I need to login first otherwise you will not be able to view the stream so I need to send the login password and username as a request.

Can someone help me out with this?

Thanks in advance!

Pleas post a sample, not a proxy URL.

an example of this would be:

https://mnmedias.api.telequebec.tv/m3u8/29880.m3u8

For this one you do not have to login tho
