How do you find the first 'time chunk' value when starting the process?

I just watched the http requests from within firefox using

Tools WebDeveloper Network

When pressing play, the first requests it does are

https://vs-dash-ww-rd-live.bbcfmt.hs.llnwd.net/al/lossless/client_manifest.mpd

and

https://vs-dash-ww-rd-live.bbcfmt.hs.llnwd.net/al/lossless/A1/IS.mp4

So maybe one of those contains the hint of the current block number?

Given the above, it should be possible to loop and fetch successive blocks
and cat them together into a file. Personally I'm *not* trying to play the
results 'live'. But if I can record enough of the stream I can start to
analyse it.
