Comment (by MasterQuestionable):

 ͏    I don't use FFmpeg alike to directly perform downloading for security
 considerations.
 ͏    And I'm not familiar in setting request headers with !`ffmpeg`.
 ͏    ("-headers" appears tricky (buggy?) regardless)

 ͏    See various tests on !BrowserLeaks.
 ͏    TLS fingerprinting maybe of your interest.
 ͏    (somehow demonstrated: [
 https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/13873#issuecomment-2183960844 ])
 ͏    .
 ͏    There are far more not directly mentioned.

 ͏    If the headers are already VLC-like, then it's likely VLC just auto-
 reconnect...
