Coming back to this issue again since the command you suggested has stopped
working...
I am trying this command and I get an empty result:

$ curl -s "https://msnbcdailyshows.com/" | grep -o -e "https://.\+m3u8" | head
-n 1

The page above does have an embedded video player but your command for
extraction of the m3u8 URL returns an *empty* output...

But it does work on other such pages like this:

$ curl -s "https://www.livenewsmag.com/msnbc-news-live-stream" | grep -o -e
"https://.\+m3u8" | head -n 1

Why is the command working on one URL but not the other?
