How to extract m3u8 url from streaming video site?

[Bo Berglund]

I would like to automate the extraction of the m3u8 URL to a video player on a
webpage.

I can get the URL in Firefox on Windows like this:
- open the video webpage
- hit F12 to show the debug page
- select the "Network" item in the top line
- now there are a lot of data scrolling past so:
- click on the line where the File column entry ends in m3u8
- right click this item and select Copy/Copy URL

This gets me manually the wanted video URL...

But how can I automate the URL extraction in a bash script on an Ubuntu 20.04.3
Server (no web browser available)?

Here is a test page for this problem:
