ffmpeg record dash live streams with a manifest.mpd url with streamlink

live video streams sometimes use dash video with a manifest.mpd link which can be played with mpv but cant be recorded with ffmpeg

ffmpeg sometimes cant record dash mpd urls because it cant parse the manifest.mpd correctly

so we use a command line program called streamlink which cant read the manifest.mpd file to get all the urls and then pass them off to ffmpeg which can then record the stream

Streamlink is a CLI utility which pipes video streams from various services into a video player
