Streamlink

Build Status codecov.io

Streamlink is a CLI utility that pipes flash videos from online streaming services to a variety of video players such as VLC, or alternatively, a browser.

The main purpose of streamlink is to convert CPU-heavy flash plugins to a less CPU-intensive format.

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

Streamlink can be installed by using Python or through the installers below.

Installation via Python pip:

sudo pip install streamlink

Note: For Windows, omit "sudo"

Manual installation via Python:

git clone https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink
sudo python setup.py install

Installers for Windows/Mac/Linux:

Features

Streamlink is built via a plugin system which allows new services to be easily added.

Major streaming services such as:

Are supported.

A full list of plugins can be found on the plugin page.

Quickstart

After installation simply use:

streamlink twitch.tv/lirik source

And Streamlink will automatically open a default video player and begin streaming!
