How to request Network stream with range?

Hi, I got a network stream that would normally use the range get to request the video part by aprt, how can I set these byte ranges in vlc? When I enter the entire adress to request from, I don't get audio nor video, converting the file also just ends in a 1KB corrupted file.
Any ideas?
Have a nice day

You can't. VLC sets the range automatically.

If your Stream-URL has no Video- or Audio-Content, then the VLC-Player can't play or convert any Content.
An "Http Live Stream" (HLS) use the Index-File, which is often named as https://.../master.m3u8, .../playlist.m3u8 or .../index.m3u8.
- https://developer.apple.com/documentation/http_live_streaming
Try to open the Index-File (https://.../master.m3u8) in a webbrowser and open it with a Editor (Example: Notepad).
The Editor listed all available Streams behind the Index-File, which can open in the VLC-Player.
