Hello,
I have trouble recording on ustream.com directly or on sites which embed ustream videos / live feeds:

embedded here:
http://szigetfestival.com/

the festival started 8/11 and still goes on until 8.17 with daytime live shows and morning hours replay of previous day (hungarian time).

ustream:
http://www.ustream.tv/telekom-sziget2014
they list the 2nd channel extra on here:
http://www.ustream.tv/search?q=sziget
with link to:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/szigetfestival2014-2
but it just forwards to:
http://www.ustream.tv/telekom-sziget2014

it streams in 720p HD. There are also m3u8 urls when changing client to iphone/ipad. but those only support 480p. and I am not able to catch ch2.

There are two different live streams on the same page which you have to select by clicking on schedule right underneath the video. by default ch1 starts playing.
I would love to use youtube-dl and be able to select with channel I like to record.
