find streaming tv URL

Question

hello. is it possible to help me find the channel URL from a streaming tv site? the site is http://www.yourtv.to and it is a free site, so i think there is no problem. i want to create a m3u list for xbmc. i tried to find the URL but i can't. the site uses jwplayer. please help me if you can.

Use the display filter: http.request.method == "GET"

When you select a tv station it will request the URL and set a token cookie. Then it will load jwplayer and download the playlist. If you look at the playlist URL you will notice it requires the token that was previously generated e.g. for ZDF

x://31.204.128.190/live/zdf/playlist.m3u8?wmsAuthSign=token
