Direct streaming links for those who don't want to use a web browser. Just give one of them to a network capable video player (VLC works fine).

Since those links are either dead or geolocked, note that you can play the official youtube stream in mpv/mpc directly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JncMoFTn9xc), or pass it through livestreamer to play in any local player. https://docs.livestreamer.io/

Probably geolocked, I'm playing one of them right now and tested the other successfully again (both showing the same content btw). Thanks for the tip.

Excuse me, your links are indeed fine when loaded from a video player. That's odd, I don't recall akamai refusing to serve the hls manifest to browsers before. I wonder why they started doing that...

"Access denied" on both.

Did you feed them to a player? They're not intended to be clicked on a browser, I get the access denied error too if I click on either, but they play fine if I load them within a player. For example on VLC, select from menu: Media->Open Network stream, then paste one of the links and hit Play. Unless they're restricted in your area they should play fine.
