Any channel example for AkamaiHD

Is there any channel that I can take as a reference to build a channel that uses AkamaiHD and playable by passing the cookies. I am able to get the links, but I am not able to play them using VLC, JWPlayer and PLEX. 

 

But I was able to access the Master m3u8, Index m3u8 and then able to get .TS files downloaded using browser. When I check the process, the cookies are being sent for each request. 

 

The same I was able to achieve in PLEX using HTTP.ClearCookies and HTTP.PreCache(url). But I end up getting the URL for.TS files. 

 

Even when I pass .TS url as URL to media object, it is not playing in Plex Client. 

 

Please direct me on how to access these urls. Any reference to a working channel on this much appreciated.

You probably don't want to be manually digging around within the m3u8's for this sort of thing -- you're usually much better off to figure out the cookies or other auth requirements and then pass off the actual m3u8's to PMS (and let the client deal with it as needed).

It's tough to give advice for this as things tend to be all over the map ... the only really good advice I can give is to try sniffing all the connections with a proxy of some sort using official means to play items -- that tends to reveal some things that you might not normally see during the process which can lead to clues on how to work around things ;)
