You're not using the latest version: https://github.com/dvingerh/PyInstaLive/releases/tag/4.0.2
Logging in can be a hassle when you hit a security checkpoint but after logging in on my browser, removing the temporary lock on my account by setting a new password I was able to download a livestream without issue.

The account used to authenticate was suspended shortly after, I would highly advise using a throwaway account.

I wonder if it would it safer to join the IG Live once with the purpose of capturing the playback URL and doing one of the following:

  • If we know the playlist doesn't expire until after 24 hours, download it after 6-12 hours
  • Ping to see if the person is still live with the same IG Live id, if broadcast_status is not active then download it

I believe the problem lies in the authentication process @Infinitay I've gotten an alt or two banned just trying to login and not actually downloading a stream
