Description

While it does appear that there are some old issue reports about UStream - UStream appears to be completely gone now and totally rebranded to video.ibm.com. I found an old issue about video.ibm.com but it contains an invalid link that doesn't work today. Honestly I think all the old UStream issues should probably be closed since they are very stale now....

This appears to be the same issue as #32088, but due to the age of that issue it appears IBM has changed their URL format since then. So here is a fresh report with a fresh log and a fresh video URL that is alive today and available for testing.

Please let me know if there are any further details I can provide.

Thanks!

Although the UStream domains seem to be gone, the name is still being used in the v.i.c page.

After enabling some JS, the video plays. The media playlist is fetched with sgn and token query parameters that have to be reversed, as they don't seem to be in the page or the HTTP traffic.
