Overview

Streamlink

Streamlink is a CLI utility which pipes video streams from various services into a video player, such as VLC.

The main purpose of streamlink is to avoid resource-heavy and unoptimized websites, while still allowing the user to enjoy various streamed content.

Streamlink is a fork of the Livestreamer project.

Please note that by using this application you're bypassing ads run by sites such as Twitch.tv. Please consider donating or paying for subscription services when they are available for the content you consume and enjoy.

Installation

Please refer to our documentation for different ways to install Streamlink:

Features

Streamlink is built upon a plugin system which allows support for new services to be easily added. Most of the big streaming services are supported, such as:

... and many more. A full list of plugins currently included can be found on the plugin page.

Quickstart

After installing, simply use:

streamlink STREAMURL best

The default behavior of Streamlink is to play back streams in the VLC player.

For more in-depth usage and install instructions, please refer to the detailed documentation.

plugins.ustream: improved plugin
This is a new and improved plugin for ustream.com. Changes include:

switched to websockets client, and no longer depends on python-librtmp

support for desktop streams, including fragmented mp4

Note to maintainers: this patch introduces two new dependencies websocket-client==0.37.0 and pymp4==1.0.0. websocket-client is used to connect to the websockets service for ustream, and pymp4 (maintained by myself) is used to mux the fragmented mp4 fragments. I don't know how this may affect the Windows installer.

It would be good to have some other people test this out. Note that if you simply replace your existing ustream.py you will need to install two python packages: websocket-client==0.37.0 and pymp4==1.0.0. If you use the Windows installer I am not sure how you can install these packages, if you installed streamlink with pip you can simply use pip to install these new dependencies:

pip install websocket-client==0.37.0 pymp4==1.0.0

This PR is intended to fix #58, #57, and #110.

Description

Plugin seems to no longer work for me. Also, seems this plugin's line 10 was never updated. Rtmp streams almost never show up as available (some channels do), mostly only hls streams. But rtmp streams can be fixed. Line 10 can be changed to: "rtmp": "http://resourcemanager.afreeca.tv:9090/broad_stream_assign.html", (I did not figure this out, I don't know how to do any of this. I was still using Livestreamer and someone else had the fix in Livestreamer issues... so I never bothered to use Streamlink.)

However, hls streams aren't working now (worked fine yesterday). Any help? There were way to many versions/fixes of this plugin floating around with Livestreamer. I just want ONE simple plugin that will work and regularly be updated.

Edit: Weird... sometimes hls will work if I'm lucky, but I didn't have problems until recent. Otherwise I get the error below.

Twitch.tv embedded ads (last update: 2021-11-21)
Since we're seeing reports of new changes on Twitch regarding the embedded ads situation (once again), I feel the need of opening a new thread before it gets too messy again with the issues on the issue tracker here. I will update this post once we've got new informations, so that the current state can be found and read easily without digging through issue threads.

Edit 15 (November 2022)

See the new thread: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4949

Edit 14 (2021-11-21)

Updated the stream access token request parameter again to reduce the number of preroll and midroll ads. See #4194 Published in the 3.0.2 release (2021-11-25)

Edit 13 (2021-10-19)

Twitch has made new changes and embedded ads are back again and don't get filtered out correctly. See #4106

Edit 12 (2021-10-10)

New device ID headers implemented for preventing ads: #4086

Edit 11 (2021-06-21)

Re-pinning the thread, as it's still relevant.

If you don't want to see ads on Twitch, or if your player can't handle the stream's discontinuity between the ads and regular content and then crashes (eg. VLC), then set the --twitch-disable-ads parameter, which will filter out ads and pre-roll ads and will pause the stream output during that time.

CLI documentation: https://streamlink.github.io/cli.html#twitch

Streamlink Twitch GUI https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui/wiki/Embedded-ads

Issue changelog

Edit 10 (2020-12-23)

Streamlink 2.0.0 has been released yesterday with the workaround from edit 9, but it doesn't seem to be working reliably anymore. Ads can still be filtered out via --twitch-disable-ads.

Edit 9 (2020-11-28)

Added a new access token request workaround in #3373 which again prevents ads from being embedded into the stream. (additional note: the access token requests have been moved to the GQL API already in #3344).

Like usual when there's a new change, you can install Streamlink from the master branch, or wait for the next nightly installer to be built if you're on Windows, or wait for the next release.

Edit 8 (2020-11-05)

The ad prevention request parameter workaround has stopped working again, as predicted, and the ad "placeholder" screen seems to have been replaced with real ads now :boom:

Filtering out ads via --twitch-disable-ads is however still working.

Edit 7 (2020-10-28)

A new ad prevention has been discovered (#3301) and has been merged into master on 2020-10-28. If you don't want to wait until the next release (2.0.0 - release date unknown), you can install Streamlink from the master branch, or apply the small change yourself (cf978c5), or as a Windows user, wait for the next nightly build of the installer (>= 2020-10-29).

If you're using the Twitch GUI, you will have to use a debug / pre-release due to other breaking Streamlink changes in regards to the upcoming 2.0.0 release: streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui#757

Edit 6 (2020-10-18)

1.7.0 has been released on 2020-10-18.

Edit 5 (2020-10-03)

#3220 has been merged as well, which should prevent the embedded ads again (for now (edit: broken again)).

Edit 4 (2020-10-03)

#3213 with the new ad filtering implementation has been merged into the master branch. You can install Streamlink from there, as described in the docs, or if you're on Windows without a Python environment, wait until the 2020-10-04 nightly installer has been built.

Edit 3 (2020-10-03)

Removing the platform=_ parameter again from the stream access token API request once again results in no ads being embedded into the stream. This is a game of cat and mouse at this point, which is ridiculous. https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/3210#issuecomment-703022351

Edit 2 (2020-09-30)

I've opened a pull request (see #3213) with the new filtering implementation. Feedback is highly appreciated, since I still don't get any ads myself and therefore can't verify it.

If you want to test this and give feedback, install it via python-pip like this (more details in the install docs), but beware that there will be more changes on that branch. Alternatively, install it in a virtual-env, so that it doesn't interfere with your main install.

pip install --user 'git+https://github.com/bastimeyer/streamlink.git@plugins/twitch/embedded-ads-2020-09-29'

Edit 1 (2020-09-29)

Twitch has changed the annotated titles of the ads, and Streamlink doesn't expect this and thus can't filter them out. The issue can be fixed with a trivial change (see post below), but this may introduce other issues in the future. A better filtering approach is being worked on. This trivial change won't prevent embedded ads from happening and only fixes the filtering.

Issue triage (old stuff)

As you can read in the changelog, we have recently (re-)added changes in the latest release (1.6.0) to prevent the embedded ads on Twitch from happening. This workaround basically sets the platform=_ request parameter when acquiring the stream URL and that made Twitch not embed pre-roll and mid-stream ads into the HLS stream. I've already said in #3173 that this probably won't last long, just like last time we had it implemented, and now here we are and it's broken again after Twitch has pushed another set of changes.

Another issue seems to be that the ads themselves are now annotated differently and this breaks the current ad-filtering implementation, which exists in addition to the workaround request parameter. We have gone through multiple iterations here as well, because the way ads were embedded has changed quite a lot.

It appears though that Twitch is only rolling out new embedded ads in certain regions right now, because it's not reproducible for me at the time (with a German IP address).

Checking the HLS playlist content of the new ads (DONE, thanks for the posts)

~~Because of that, I'm interested in the content of HLS playlists with embedded ads, so we can debug this. Please share a link to a Github gist post with the playlist content. You can check this by running~~

curl -s "$(streamlink --stream-url twitch.tv/CHANNEL best)"

Window Titles = Stream Titles
This pull request is based on https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/pull/1167/

I reworked it to only use the first commit though, so that instead of being restricted to just VLC, it allows the user to specify whatever command line argument they need for their special player.

example usage:

streamlink https://www.twitch.tv/coolstreamer source -p 'vlc --meta-title="{title}"' streamlink https://www.twitch.tv/coolstreamer source -p 'mpv --title="{title}"'

In this pull request, I've only implemented Twitch support. Other sources we'll try to give them just the channel name as the title, and if we can't do that, we just give them back the url they entered as the title.

There is a mild security concern in this pull request. Because we are putting the stream title into subprocess.Popen, if this were implemented in the worst way possible, a streamer could name their stream e.g. ";echo "hacked and get arbitrary code execution. Because we don't have shell=True set in subprocess.Popen anywhere and I've replaced ", it should be fine. I'd like confirmation anyway.

It would also be nice to replace the title by default instead of requiring the --player argument, but this pull request doesn't do that.

Plugin for Livestream.com not working right? exit's quickly for hls and not at all for normal streams

I am trying to get a live stream on livestreamer.com to work and i can't get it to play more then about 35 seconds...

When I run this command: streamlink "http://livestream.com/Miraclenet/events/5004281" 270p --fifo --player omxplayer

it gives me an error about an swf being needed. When I run this command: streamlink "http://livestream.com/Miraclenet/events/5004281" 270p_hls --fifo --player omxplayer

it will play the stream but just for about 35 seconds or so... I kinda don't want to have to restart it every 35 seconds to watch this stream... I'd like it to run until I stop it myself...

Any help for this non-python, non-linux guy would be very helpful...

btw, this is running on a Raspberry Pi. Just got a nice little 7 inch lcd for it and set it up on my desk to be able to watch it while I work, but can't get it to play for long at a time...

Please fix the ustream plugin

The plugin seems to not be able to detect desktop streams... (This was ported directly from livestreamer, where it was never fixed. using librmtp never worked to download desktop streams, i am linking the post) https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/issues/1122

Some streams that are in 720p don't show up, due to it only detecting mobile versions of the streams. See here:

[cli][info] Found matching plugin ustreamtv for URL http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv Available streams: mobile_240p (worst), mobile_360p, mobile_480p, mobile_720p (best) While this specific stream has 720p (not sure why), other streams do not.

This is a problem with the plugin only detecting mobile versions of streams.

Description

WWEN works on kodi but i'm asking can we get this on streamlink as a fully active py? i tried using it on livestreamer but it has a few py files one for setting and others for logins since its for kodi. streamlink has a bug so i can't get it to start up but read its a problem a dev was going to fix.

Edited: (missing info) this plugin is a WWE Network plugin for kodi url is ( http://network.wwe.com ) Plugin url ( http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=233467 ), some info can be found on that site with the download links for the plugin.

When using on kodi if temp bans your account after 15min so be careful, atres is used for the lower resolutions but it is hidden for some 4500K files like live PPV you have to wait a week for it to show up.

WWE uses the master m3u8 file with the 500k to 4500k m3u8 links.

Expected / Actual behavior

AIO py to catch 1280x720p files on wwe and not the 3000k 720p, after 4500k ones (they are there but just hidden for a week)

plugins.euronews: fix and rewrite plugin

Fixes #5062

Actually worthy of a plugin removal, because the vast majority of live streams are just embedded youtube streams, so the plugin is just a wrapper plugin except for a few languages and for VODs. And some languages aren't even supported by the plugin, as euronews is using different websites for those languages.

plugins.ceskatelevize: update for ct24 and sport

@duunsupen, could you check this is working for all channels by sideloading the updated plugin, please? I think it's probably working OK, but they seem to detect VPS based proxies, so I just get the short clip telling me the channel isn't available for all except CT24.

For some reason, the subdomains are both different to the main channels in terms of HTML and JSON data, and different to each other as well. The API response is slightly different for sport too. All a bit strange.

I didn't bother going through the process of finding the id for CT24, as it seems unlikely it'll change.

I notice that sometimes the streaming URL gets an empty response, but it seems intermittent. I've seen that happen in the web browser too via the network tab on the dev console.

Streamlink version

Latest stable release

Description

Ceska Televize offers five channels. For three of them, ceskatelevize.py still works fine (CT1, CT 2, CT :D/Art). However, the remaining two channels have recently changed their URLs., i.e.

CT 24: formerly https://www.ceskatelevize.cz/zive/ct24/ , now redirects to https://ct24.ceskatelevize.cz/#live

CT Sport: formerly https://www.ceskatelevize.cz/zive/sport/ , now redirects to https://sport.ceskatelevize.cz/#live

These two new URLs will not be recognised by ceskatelevize.py anymore as it basically looks for www.ceskatelevize.cz/zive/... It yould be great if you could update ceskatelevize.py to enable it again for CT 24 and CT Sport. Please note that CT Sport is geoblocked for the Czech Republic. This is not the case for CT 24.

Streamlink version

Latest stable release

Description

While trying to use the SSLKEYLOGFILE feature of python's SSL module, I set the value of this env variable to an invalid path string (I added quotes around the path which are not expected by the Windows API) which gets rejected by openssl/kernel layer.

This raises a specific kind of error (obtained by running the process in Pdb):

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise err
streamlink.exceptions.PluginError: Unable to open URL: https://gql.twitch.tv/gql (('Connection aborted.', OSError(22, 'Invalid argument')))

However this relatively clearly communicated error is swallowed by ~the twitch plugin code~a generic streamlink exception, and is converted into a vague NoStreamsError here:

    def _access_token(self, is_live, channel_or_vod):
        try:
            sig, token = self.api.access_token(is_live, channel_or_vod)
        except (PluginError, TypeError):
            raise NoStreamsError(self.url)

...which eventually results in the end of the process with only a single and misleading message like this:

error: No playable streams found on this URL: twitch.tv/insert_live_channel

While the root cause in this case is user error, I think it's worth noting that the exception catch clause is way too broad; unexpected exceptions bubbling up from the ssl/os/socket layers shouldn't be treated as "no stream available to play", they should bubble up to the top and be properly logged to the end user in some form.

My guess is that the "true" no-stream-to-play case raises a few or just one specific kind of (inner)exception; the best practice would be for only those to be caught, while everything else should be raised further up.

3.0.0(Nov 17, 2021)

Breaking changes:

BREAKING: dropped support for RTMP, HDS and AkamaiHD streams (#4169, #4168)
- removed the rtmp://, hds:// and akamaihd:// protocol plugins
- removed all Flash related code
- upgraded all plugins using these old streaming protocols
- dropped RTMPDump dependency
BREAKING: removed the following CLI arguments (and respective session options): (#4169, #4168)
- --rtmp-rtmpdump, --rtmpdump, --rtmp-proxy, --rtmp-timeout
  Users of Streamlink's Windows installer will need to update their config file.
- --subprocess-cmdline, --subprocess-errorlog, --subprocess-errorlog-path
- --hds-live-edge, --hds-segment-attempts, --hds-segment-threads, --hds-segment-timeout, --hds-timeout
BREAKING: switched from HTTP to HTTPS for all kinds of scheme-less input URLs. If a site or http-proxy doesn't support HTTPS, then HTTP needs to be set explicitly. (#4068, #4053)
BREAKING/API: changed Session.resolve_url() and Session.resolve_url_no_redirect() to return a tuple of a plugin class and the resolved URL instead of an initialized plugin class instance. This fixes the availability of plugin options in a plugin's constructor. (#4163)
BREAKING/requirements: dropped alternative dependency pycrypto and removed the STREAMLINK_USE_PYCRYPTO env var switch (#4174)
BREAKING/requirements: switched from iso-639+iso3166 to pycountry and removed the STREAMLINK_USE_PYCOUNTRY env var switch (#4175)
BREAKING/setup: disabled unsupported Python versions, disabled the deprecated test setuptools command, removed the NO_DEPS env var, and switched to declarative package data via setup.cfg (#4079, #4107, #4115 #4113)

Release highlights:

Deprecated: --https-proxy in favor of a single --http-proxy CLI argument (and respective session option). Both now set the same proxy for all HTTPS/HTTP requests and websocket connections. --https-proxy will be removed in a future release. (#4120)
Added: official support for Python 3.10 (#4144)
Added: --twitch-api-header for only setting Twitch.tv API requests headers (for authentication, etc.) as an alternative to --http-header (#4156)
Added: BASH and ZSH completions to sdist tarball and wheels. (#4048, #4178)
Added: support for creating parent directories via metadata variables in file output paths (#4085)
Added: new WebsocketClient implementation (#4153)
Updated: plugins using websocket connections - nicolive, ustreamtv, twitcasting (#4155, #4164, #4154)
Updated: circumvention for YouTube's age verification (#4058)
Updated: and fixed lots of other plugins, see the detailed changelog below

Windows installer: upgraded Python to 3.9.8 and FFmpeg to n4.4.1 (#4176, #4124)
