How did you do that? To me sounds like something impossible.

You are laughing at me? :D I know that without knowing the language I could write something wrong. I mean, I do not install the program, I only use Python pip install -U streamlink :)

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

pip install -U streamlink

streamlink

Where did you get this from ( link )?

Not any file extension? ( streamlink-latest.exe, for example )

You don't have to add the extensions if you put it in your enviroment variables, same with livestreamer.
Also allows you to issuse the command without stating which folder the program is in too.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

This is fine about the usage after installation.

He says he ran streamlink without ffmpeg.

FFmpeg comes together with streamlink-latest.exe, if you open installation file as an archive with 7zip for example,
you will find FFmpeg inside it.

After installation, I don't find any other ffmpeg apart from one I already have in c:\ap\ff\ffmpeg.exe, and on %PATH%.

My c:\ap\ff\ffmpeg.exe is one I extracted from streamlink-latest.exe before installing streamlink
and placed in to c:\ap\ff\ ( deleted zeranoe ffmpeg, replacing it with one found inside streamlink-latest.exe ).

I tried "streamlink" ffmpeg and "zeranoe" ffmpeg on their own ( no streamlink ) and found that in one
situation "streamlink" ffmpeg does the job and "zeranoe" ffmpeg comes half the way and stops.

https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/750

I try to find out what is he actually running, "streamlink" doesn't tell me anything,
and he is shy or lazy to say a few more words.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

In the environment variables, just have these Python paths -
C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts The installation is done with the command "pip install streamlink", "pip install livestreamer", etc. Updates to the new version with the command "pip install -U streamlink".

P.S. Chaturbate plugin does not work. For this moment he works with this code:

Code:

import re



from streamlink.plugin import Plugin

from streamlink.plugin.api import http, validate

from streamlink.stream import HLSStream



_url_re = re.compile(r"http(s)?://(\w+.)?chaturbate.com/[^/?&]+")

_playlist_url_re = re.compile("html \+= \"src='(?P<url>[^']+)\?")

_schema = validate.Schema(

    validate.transform(_playlist_url_re.search),

    validate.any(

        None,

        validate.all(

            validate.get("url"),

            validate.url(

                scheme="http",

                path=validate.endswith(".m3u8")

            )

        )

    )

)





class Chaturbate(Plugin):

    @classmethod

    def can_handle_url(self, url):

        return _url_re.match(url)



    def _get_streams(self):

        playlist_url = http.get(self.url, schema=_schema)

        if not playlist_url:

            return



        return HLSStream.parse_variant_playlist(self.session, playlist_url)





__plugin__ = Chaturbate

But this can change soon so keep track of the topic: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/767

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

Can you post here link where you got your "streamlink" from ?

I want to follow the same steps and see how it works from me.

To do that, I first have to get your "streamlink".

This is about installing streamlink as first step.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

I see,

"Source code", install python first and follow.

Optional
RTMPDump Required to play RTMP streams.
python-librtmp Required by the ustreamtv plugin to be able to use non-mobile streams.
ffmpeg Required to play streams that are made up of separate audio and video streams, eg. YouTube 1080p+

Looks like you are running linux.

Looks different with windows.

04-06-2017 06:04 AM

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

I just had a look in windows installation and there is an option
"bundled tools".

I scripted my installation ages ago and forgot it is optional to install
rtmpdump and ffmpeg.

I choose not to instal ffmpeg and rtmpdump because I have them
pre installed.

I highly recommend to install streamlink's ffmpeg and not to install streamlink's rtmpdump,
and use KSV's rtmpdump instead.

It is possible to use KSV rtmpdump with streamlink, you just have to update the path to rtmpdump in your streamlinkrc file.

j_cool

04-06-2017 06:27 AM

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

And no,

I won't follow how chaturbate plugin goes.

KSV's Rtmpdump works for me when I need peep-show ( for now ).

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

@ami go,

You are just setting the defaults for streamlink in the streamlinkrc file. Inserting this changes my default player to PotPlayer:

player=C:\Program Files\DAUM\PotPlayer\PotPlayerMini64.exe

Maybe that helps.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

player="C:\Program Files\DAUM\PotPlayer\PotPlayerMini64.exe"

# By default streamlink will attempt to locate VLC on your system
# and use that, but you can also specify the location of a player
# yourself.

# Important: You must use a quoted path if there are spaces in the path. This
# is because the player command is parsed like a shell command to allow
# parameters to be passed to the player.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

If you specify player on command line ( batch file ) it supersedes player from config file, streamlinkrc.

start /min streamlink -p "ffplay.exe -vf scale=854:480" %url% best

The rule "You must use a quoted path if there are spaces in the path" applies everywhere.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

amigo runs XP.

After reading windows installation guide, I am a little confused.

Follow this link, read it, and maybe then you can elaborate in a way
we can understand something without getting confused.

https://streamlink.github.io/install.html

Windows binaries

Important

Windows XP is not supported. Windows Vista requires at least SP2 to be installed.

You can download the latest stable Windows installer from the GitHub Releases Page.

Alternatively, you can download the latest nightly Windows installer.

This is a installer which contains:

A compiled version of Streamlink that does not require an existing Python installation
RTMPDump for viewing RTMP streams
ffmpeg for muxing streams

and performs the following tasks:

Adds Streamlink to your $PATH (making it possible to use streamlink directly from the command prompt without specifying its directory)

To build the installer, you need to have NSIS and pynsist installed on your system.

j_cool

04-08-2017 04:53 PM

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

@amigo,

are you running this one ?

Windows portable version

Instructions:

Download https://github.com/streamlink/stream...ive/master.zip
Extract the “Streamlink for Windows (Compiled)” folder from the ZIP file
Check README.txt file for requirements and run “Streamlink for Windows.exe”

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

@Johnny but what are you looking for? Amigo wrote that his Streamlink works. He just searched for streamlinkrc, which the standard Windows installer creates here %APPDATA%\streamlink\ In the portable version, you do not need to search for streamlinkrc, it is located in the program folder.

Hi all , ( thanks for your helps ) ,

Sorry for my late answer !
===
NB : Downloaded "https://www.videohelp.com/download/streamlink-portable-master.zip" ( 2017-02-03 ) . NOT necessary !!!

Installed under Python v2.712 , with this command :
"x:\python_2712\Scripts\pip.exe" install -U streamlink"
---
During Installation :
x:\python_2712\lib\site-packages\streamlink-0.5.0-py2.7.egg
===
Done a batch file ( working ) ; Ex: "...\streamlink.exe" "httpstream://..." best

@j_cool : following what you said ,
====
created a folder ...\AppData\Roaming\streamlink

created "streamlinkrc" from a file found on the web , modified with my settings .

I don't know how "streamlinkrc" is used by "streamlink.exe" (?) .

04-10-2017 01:03 AM

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

There is no need for you to create \AppData\Roaming\streamlink. This is specific to windows 7.

If you type on your command line: set, look what commes as APPDATA, this is XP's equivalent to
windows 7's \AppData\Roaming\streamlink,

C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable

Streamlink will create for you location where it will place its configuration file.

Find where is your configuration file as in post #54.

If you look at default streamlinkrc file you will see that all lines are commented.

Streamlink can do without using configuration file if it can find VLC on your system.

If you want streamlink to use other player than VLC you can specify in stramlinkrc what other player you want
instead of specifying for every single usage on command line or batch file what other player than VLC you prefer.

Read streamlinkrc from beggining to the end and it will say something about what it is about.

FFmpeg and rtmpdump are optional, if streamlink doesn't install or installs them, I don't know
how it handles various situations it encounters.

You know if you want FFmpeg and rtmpdump or not, so specify in streamlinkrc where they are on your system,
if they are not on the %PATH%.

Type on command line: path, if you don't see your vlc, rtmpdump and ffmpeg there you MUST
specify in stramlinkrc where they are or streamlink won't find them.

C:\>path

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

Here is one interesting link:

https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/1111

Some on streamlink forum are like ostrich burying their heads in the sand unwilling to recognize existence and importance of rtmp protocol.

XP is dead, and they are still working on it.

They are working on XP because there are always those few..

Well, dear streamlink fellows, there will be those few.. using rtmp rotocol lasting far longer than users using XP.

Numbers on this forum speak.

"rtmpdump" and "adult streaming videos" forums = rtmp protocol.

Take it away, and stream-recorder forum is 50% smaller.

ImLive was booted from their rtmp host and now they are on a new rtmp host and running 2 rtmp streams in parallel in addition to 1 hls stream per model.

On Russian TV ( RT ), they use hls protocol like any other news website but guess what:

When Puting speaks there is one extra rtmp stream in real-life time running parallel with hls:

rtmp://fml.3443.edgecastcdn.net/203443/en-stream

Rtmp is back on Press TV, congratulations.

rtmp://178.32.255.199:1935/live/ptven

Each and every cam site runs on rtmp protocol probably because it is best suited for cam-to-cam.

I cannot update rtmpdump, but at least I can see it's importance using common sense.

Streamlink is fantastic project for other things and I keep this thread on top.

Johnny.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

Hi,

the script isn't the problem and the freezing issue / dropped frames you also have if you just watch the streams in browser for many cams and same gets recorded too.So if you don't want to record with SL from the playlist in that TS format then change the script (or write new) to record in Flash format with rtmpdump.So I do prefer flash format where you have less problems with your records for playing,seeking & editing instead of TS.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

I just wanted to know if this problem exists at all, is it just my computer's configuration problem (Python, excluded services etc). Quick editing of flv without re-encoding (cut / join) is possible only with ffmpeg (at least I do not know which programs support it) and it's time consuming even with GUI. TS accurately cut a lot of programs, even those free.

About FLV format.I for myself use VirtualDub with diffrent import plugins like FLV Handler (for flash format),FFMpeg plugin (for diffrent formats also flash files and TS etc).Optional you can also use AviSynth & scripts.Just check this out if you want.Maybe its something for you too also if you have to download the stuff manually first.

Re: streamlink: an up to date fork of livestreamer

Here is one solution to Stramlink's file formats problem but at a price.

Using ffmpeg to get flv format returns a file with audio an video in sync, but during ffmeg converting CPU usage spikes in short moments to 30% !

This spikes don't appear while ffmpeg is just copying but resulting file is next to unplayable.

Here is one example for example's sake only, my script is involved:

youtube-dl.exe --get-url -f 94 --no-check-certificate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg | clip
for /f %%a in ('clb.exe') do set url=%%a
ffmpeg -user-agent Mozilla/5.0 -i %url% -c:v h264 -c:a aac c:\SKY_%d%.flv

I get youtube url sent to clipboard and from there url passed to ffmpeg.

This returns perfect file but at a price of 30% CPU usage in spikes every few seconds or so.

This matters to me because my PC is 100% passively cooled without any rotating parts inside and increasing CPU usage rises the temperature.

here is one example of bad file resulting no matter how I name filename extension, mkv, mp4, flv, etc.:

streamlink.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg 480p -o c:\SKY_%d%.mkv

Does anyone know if there is any default file extension for youtube live videos or streamlink's output to that type of stream?

How to figure out what file extension would be the most suitable to streamlink to return decent file in case of youtube live videos?

This would benefit us in a way that streamlink or ffmpeg would just copy and save the stream without much processing in the background.
