NAME

       streamlink  - extracts streams from various services and pipes them into a video player of
       choice

TUTORIAL

       Streamlink is command-line application, this means the commands described here  should  be
       typed  into  a  terminal.  On  Windows  this  means  you should open the command prompt or
       PowerShell, on Mac OS X open the Terminal app and if you're on Linux or BSD  you  probably
       already know the drill.

       The  way  Streamlink works is that it's only a means to extract and transport the streams,
       and the playback is done by an external video player. Streamlink works best  with  VLC  or
       mpv,  which  are  also  cross-platform,  but  other players may be compatible too, see the
       Players page for a complete overview.

       Now to get into actually using Streamlink, let's say you want to watch the stream  located
       on  http://twitch.tv/day9tv,  you  start  off  by  telling  Streamlink where to attempt to
       extract streams from. This is done by giving the URL to  the  command  streamlink  as  the
       first argument:

          $ streamlink twitch.tv/day9tv
          [cli][info] Found matching plugin twitch for URL twitch.tv/day9tv
          Available streams: audio, high, low, medium, mobile (worst), source (best)

       NOTE:
          You  don't  need  to  include  the  protocol  when  dealing  with  HTTP URLs, e.g. just
          twitch.tv/day9tv is enough and quicker to type.

       This command will tell Streamlink to attempt to extract streams from  the  URL  specified,
       and if it's successful, print out a list of available streams to choose from.

       In  some  cases   (Supported  streaming  protocols)   local  files are supported using the
       file:// protocol, for example a local HLS playlist can be played.  Relative file paths and
       absolute paths are supported. All path separators are /, even on Windows.

          $ streamlink hlsvariant://file://C:/hls/playlist.m3u8
          [cli][info] Found matching plugin stream for URL hlsvariant://file://C:/hls/playlist.m3u8
          Available streams: 180p (worst), 272p, 408p, 554p, 818p, 1744p (best)

       To  select a stream and start playback, we simply add the stream name as a second argument
       to the streamlink command:

          $ streamlink twitch.tv/day9tv source
          [cli][info] Found matching plugin twitch for URL twitch.tv/day9tv
          [cli][info] Opening stream: source (hls)
          [cli][info] Starting player: vlc

       The stream you chose should now be playing in the player. It's a common use case  to  just
       want start the highest quality stream and not be bothered with what it's named. To do this
       just specify best as the stream name and Streamlink will attempt to rank the  streams  and
       open the one of highest quality. You can also specify worst to get the lowest quality.

       Now  that  you  have  a  basic  grasp  of  how Streamlink works, you may want to look into
       customizing it to your own needs, such as:

       • Creating a configuration file of options you want to use

       • Setting up your player to cache some data before playing the  stream  to  help  avoiding
         buffering issues

CONFIGURATION FILE

       Writing  the  command-line  options  every  time is inconvenient, that's why Streamlink is
       capable of reading options from a configuration file instead.

       Streamlink will look for config files in different locations depending on your platform:

                   ┌──────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
                   │Platform          │ Location                                    │
                   ├──────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
                   │Unix-like (POSIX) │                                             │
                   │                  │        • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/streamlink/config │
                   │                  │                                             │
                   │                  │        • ~/.streamlinkrc                    │
                   ├──────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
                   │Windows           │ %APPDATA%\streamlink\streamlinkrc           │
                   └──────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

       NOTE:
          Currently  the Windows installer does not create the streamlinkrc file. This is a known
          issue being tracked here. An example configuration file is available in the repo.

       You can also specify the location yourself using the --config option.

       NOTE:$XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ~/.config if it has not been overridden

          • %APPDATA% is usually <your user directory>\Application Data

       NOTE:
          On Windows there is a default config created by the installer but on any other platform
          you must create the file yourself.

   Syntax
       The config file is a simple text file and should contain one command-line option (omitting
       the dashes) per line in the format:

          option=value

       or for a option without value:

          option

       NOTE:
          Any quotes used will be part of the value, so only use when the value needs them,  e.g.
          specifying a player with a path containing spaces.

   Example
          # Player options
          player=mpv --cache 2048
          player-no-close

          # Authenticate with Twitch
          twitch-oauth-token=mytoken

PLUGIN SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION FILE

       You  may  want  to use specific options for some plugins only. This can be accomplished by
       placing those settings inside a plugin specific config file. Options inside  these  config
       files will override the main config file when a URL matching the plugin is used.

       Streamlink  expects  this  config to be named like the main config but with .<plugin name>
       attached to the end.

   Examples
                ┌──────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
                │Platform          │ Location                                           │

       Have a look at the list of plugins to see the name of each built-in plugin.

PLUGIN SPECIFIC USAGE

   Authenticating with Twitch
       It's possible to access subscription content on Twitch by giving Streamlink access to your
       account.

       Authentication  is done by creating an OAuth token that Streamlink will use to access your
       account. It's done like this:

          $ streamlink --twitch-oauth-authenticate

       This will open a web browser where Twitch will ask you if  you  want  to  give  Streamlink
       permission  to  access your account, then forwards you to a page with further instructions
       on how to use it.

   Authenticating with Crunchyroll
       Crunchyroll requires authenticating with  a  premium  account  to  access  some  of  their
       content.  To  do  so,  the  plugin provides a couple of options to input your information,
       --crunchyroll-username and --crunchyroll-password.

       You can login like this:

          $ streamlink --crunchyroll-username=xxxx --crunchyroll-password=xxx http://crunchyroll.com/a-crunchyroll-episode-link

       NOTE:
          If you omit the password, streamlink will ask for it.

       Once logged in, the plugin makes sure to save the session credentials to avoid asking your
       username and password again.

       Nevertheless,  these  credentials are valid for a limited amount of time, so it might be a
       good idea to save your username and password in your configuration file anyway.

       WARNING:
          The API this plugin uses isn't supposed to be available to use  it  on  computers.  The
          plugin  tries  to blend in as a valid device using custom headers and following the API
          usual flow (e.g. reusing credentials), but this does not assure that your account  will
          be safe from being spotted for unusual behavior.

   HTTP proxy with Crunchyroll
       You  can  use  the  --http-proxy and --https-proxy options (you need both since the plugin
       uses both protocols) to access the Crunchyroll servers through  a  proxy  to  be  able  to
       stream region locked content.

       When  doing  this,  it's very probable that you will get denied to access the stream; this
       occurs because the session and credentials used by the plugin where obtained  when  logged
       from your own region, and the server still assumes you're in that region.

       For  this,  the  plugin provides the --crunchyroll-purge-credentials option, which removes
       your saved session and credentials and tries to log  in  again  using  your  username  and
       password.

SIDELOADING PLUGINS

       Streamlink will attempt to load standalone plugins from these directories:

                       ┌──────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────┐
                       │Platform          │ Location                            │
                       ├──────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────┤
                       │Unix-like (POSIX) │ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/streamlink/plugins │
                       ├──────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────┤
                       │Windows           │ %APPDATA%\streamlink\plugins        │
                       └──────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────┘

       NOTE:
          If a plugin is added with the same name as a built-in plugin then the added plugin will
          take  precedence.  This  is  useful if you want to upgrade plugins independently of the
          Streamlink version.

PLAYING BUILT-IN STREAMING PROTOCOLS DIRECTLY

       There are many types of streaming protocols used by services today and Streamlink supports
       most  of  them.  It's  possible to tell Streamlink to access a streaming protocol directly
       instead of relying on a plugin to extract the streams from a URL for you.

       A protocol can be accessed directly by specifying it in the URL format:

          protocol://path [key=value]

       Accessing a stream that requires extra parameters to be passed along (e.g. RTMP):

          $ streamlink "rtmp://streaming.server.net/playpath live=1 swfVfy=http://server.net/flashplayer.swf"

       When passing parameters to the built-in stream plugins the values will either  be  treated
       as  plain  strings,  as  is  the  case  in  the  above example for swfVry, or they will be
       interpreted as Python literals. For example you can pass a Python dict or Python  list  as
       one of the parameters.

          $ streamlink "rtmp://streaming.server.net/playpath conn=['B:1', 'S:authMe', 'O:1', 'NN:code:1.23', 'NS:flag:ok', 'O:0']"
          $ streamlink "hls://streaming.server.net/playpath params={'token': 'magicToken'}"

       In the above examples conn will be passed as the Python list:

          ['B:1', 'S:authMe', 'O:1', 'NN:code:1.23', 'NS:flag:ok', 'O:0']

       and params will be passed as the Python dict:

          {'token': 'magicToken'}

       Most  streaming  technologies  simply requires you to pass a HTTP URL, this is a Adobe HDS
       stream:

          $ streamlink hds://streaming.server.net/playpath/manifest.f4m

       [1]  supports local files using the file:// protocol

PROXY SUPPORT

       You  can  use  the  --http-proxy and --https-proxy options to change the proxy server that
       Streamlink will use for HTTP and HTTPS requests respectively.  As HTTP and HTTPS  requests
       can be handled by separate proxies, you may need to specify both options if the plugin you
       use makes HTTP and HTTPS requests.

       Both HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies are supported, authentication is supported for both types.

       For example:

          $ streamlink --http-proxy "http://user:pass@10.10.1.10:3128/" --https-proxy "socks5://10.10.1.10:1242"

COMMAND-LINE USAGE

          $ streamlink [OPTIONS] <URL> [STREAM]

   Positional arguments
       URL    A URL to attempt to extract streams from.

              Usually, the protocol of http(s) URLs can be omitted ("https://"), depending on the
              implementation of the plugin being used.

              Alternatively, the URL can also be specified by using the --url option.

       STREAM Stream to play.

              Use "best" or "worst" for selecting the highest or lowest available quality.

              Fallback streams can be specified by using a comma-separated list:

                 "720p,480p,best"

              If  no  stream  is  specified  and  --default-stream  is  not  used, then a list of
              available streams will be printed.

   General options
       -h, --help
              Show this help message and exit.

       -V, --version
              Show version number and exit.

       --plugins
              Print a list of all currently installed plugins.

       --can-handle-url URL
              Check if Streamlink has a plugin that can handle the specified URL.

              Returns status code 1 for false and 0 for true.

              Useful for external scripting.

       --can-handle-url-no-redirect URL
              Same as --can-handle-url but without following redirects when looking up the URL.

       --config FILENAME
              Load options from this config file.

              Can be repeated to load multiple files, in which case the options are merged on top
              of each other where the last config has highest priority.

       -l LEVEL, --loglevel LEVEL
              Set the log message threshold.

              Valid levels are: none, error, warning, info, debug

       -Q, --quiet
              Hide all log output.

              Alias for "--loglevel none".

       -j, --json
              Output JSON representations instead of the normal text output.

              Useful for external scripting.

       --auto-version-check {yes,true,1,on,no,false,0,off}
              Unused, kept for compatibility reasons.

              Default is: "no".

       --version-check
              Runs a version check and exits.

       --locale LOCALE
              The  preferred  locale  setting,  for  selecting  the  preferred subtitle and audio
              language.

              The locale is formatted as [language_code]_[country_code], eg. en_US or es_ES.

              Default is: system locale.

   Player options
       -p COMMAND, --player COMMAND
              Player to feed stream data to. By default, VLC will be used if it can be  found  in
              its default location.

              This is a shell-like syntax to support using a specific player:

                 streamlink --player=vlc <url> <quality>

              Absolute  or  relative  paths  can  also be passed via this option in the event the
              player's executable can not be resolved:

                 streamlink --player=/path/to/vlc <url> <quality>
                 streamlink --player=./vlc-player/vlc <url> <quality>

              To use a player that is located in a path with spaces you must quote the  parameter
              or its value:

                 streamlink "--player=/path/with spaces/vlc" <url> <quality>
                 streamlink --player "C:\path\with spaces\mpc-hc64.exe" <url> <quality>

              Options may also be passed to the player. For example:

                 streamlink --player "vlc --file-caching=5000" <url> <quality>

              As  an alternative to this, see the --player-args parameter, which does not log any
              custom player arguments.

       -a ARGUMENTS, --player-args ARGUMENTS
              This option allows you to customize the default arguments which  are  put  together
              with  the  value  of  --player  to create a command to execute. Unlike the --player
              parameter, custom player arguments will not be logged.

              This value can contain formatting variables surrounded by curly braces, { and }. If
              you  need  to include a brace character, it can be escaped by doubling, e.g. {{ and
              }}.

              Formatting variables available:

              filename
                     This is the filename that the player will use.  It's  usually  "-"  (stdin),
                     but can also be a URL or a file depending on the options used.

              It's  usually  enough  to  use  --player  instead  of  this  unless you need to add
              arguments after the filename.

              Default is: "{filename}".

              Example:

                 streamlink -p vlc -a "--play-and-exit {filename}" <url> <quality>

       -v, --verbose-player
              Allow the player to display its console output.

       -n, --player-fifo, --fifo
              Make the player read the stream through a named pipe instead of the stdin pipe.

       --player-http
              Make the player read the stream through HTTP instead of the stdin pipe.

       --player-continuous-http
              Make the player read the stream through HTTP,  but  unlike  --player-http  it  will
              continuously try to open the stream if the player requests it.

              This  makes  it  possible to handle stream disconnects if your player is capable of
              reconnecting to a HTTP stream. This is usually done by setting  your  player  to  a
              "repeat mode".

       --player-external-http
              Serve  stream data through HTTP without running any player. This is useful to allow
              external devices like smartphones or streaming boxes to watch streams they wouldn't
              be able to otherwise.

              Behavior  will be similar to the continuous HTTP option, but no player program will
              be started, and the server will listen on all available connections instead of just
              in the local (loopback) interface.

              The  URLs that can be used to access the stream will be printed to the console, and
              the server can be interrupted using CTRL-C.

       --player-external-http-port PORT
              A fixed port to use for the external HTTP server if that mode is enabled.  Omit  or
              set to 0 to use a random high (>1024) port.

       --player-passthrough TYPES
              A  comma-delimited  list  of  stream types to pass to the player as a URL to let it
              handle the transport of the stream instead.

              Stream types that can be converted into a playable URL are:

              • hls

              • http

              • rtmp

              Make sure your player can handle the stream type when using this.

       --player-no-close
              By default Streamlink will close the player when the stream ends.  This is to avoid
              "dead" GUI players lingering after a stream ends.

              It  does  however  have the side-effect of sometimes closing a player before it has
              played back all of its cached data.

              This option will instead let the player decide when to exit.

   File output options
       -o FILENAME, --output FILENAME
              Write stream data to FILENAME instead of playing it.

              You will be prompted if the file already exists.

       -f, --force
              When using -o, always write to file even if it already exists.

       -O, --stdout
              Write stream data to stdout instead of playing it.

   Stream options
       --url URL
              A URL to attempt to extract streams from.

              Usually, the protocol of http(s) URLs can be omitted (https://), depending  on  the
              implementation of the plugin being used.

              This  is  an  alternative to setting the URL using a positional argument and can be
              useful if set in a config file.

       --default-stream STREAM
              Stream to play.

              Use "best" or "worst" for selecting the highest or lowest available quality.

              Fallback streams can be specified by using a comma-separated list:

                 "720p,480p,best"

              This is an alternative to setting the stream using a positional argument and can be
              useful if set in a config file.

       --retry-streams DELAY
              Will  retry  fetching streams until streams are found while waiting DELAY (seconds)
              between each attempt.

       --retry-open ATTEMPTS
              Will try ATTEMPTS times to open the stream until giving up.

              Default is: 1.

       --stream-types TYPES, --stream-priority TYPES
              A comma-delimited list of stream types to allow.

              The order will be used to separate streams when there are multiple streams with the
              same  name  but  different stream types. Any stream type not listed will be omitted
              from the available streams list.  A * can be used as a wildcard to match any  other
              type of stream, eg. muxed-stream.

              Default is: "rtmp,hls,hds,http,akamaihd,*".

       --stream-sorting-excludes STREAMS
              Fine tune best/worst synonyms by excluding unwanted streams.

              Uses a filter expression in the format:

                 [operator]<value>

              Valid  operators  are >, >=, < and <=. If no operator is specified then equality is
              tested.

              For example this will exclude streams ranked higher than "480p":

                 ">480p"

              Multiple filters can be used by separating each expression with a comma.

              For example this will exclude streams from two quality types:

                 ">480p,>medium"

   Stream transport options
       --hds-live-edge SECONDS
              The time live HDS streams will start from the edge of stream.

       --hls-live-edge SEGMENTS
              How many segments from the end to start live HLS streams on.

              The  lower  the  value  the  lower  latency  from  the source you will be, but also
              increases the chance of buffering.

              Default is: 3.

       --hls-segment-attempts ATTEMPTS
              How many attempts should be done to download each HLS segment before giving up.

              Default is: 3.

       --hls-playlist-reload-attempts ATTEMPTS
              How many attempts should be done to reload the HLS playlist before giving up.

              Default is: 3.

       --hls-segment-threads THREADS
              The size of the thread pool used to download HLS segments.  Minimum value is 1  and
              maximum is 10.

              Default is: 1.

       --hls-segment-timeout TIMEOUT
              HLS segment connect and read timeout.

              Default is: 10.0.

       --hls-audio-select CODE
              Selects  a specific audio source, by language code, when multiple audio sources are
              available.

              NOTE:
                 This is only useful in special circumstances where  the  regular  locale  option
                 fails.

       --hls-timeout TIMEOUT
              Timeout for reading data from HLS streams.

              Default is: 60.0.

       --hls-start-offset HH:MM:SS
              Amount of time to skip from the beginning of the stream.  For live streams, this is
              a negative offset from the end of the stream.

              Default is: 00:00:00.

       --hls-duration HH:MM:SS
              Limit the playback duration, useful for watching segments of a stream.  The  actual
              duration may be slightly longer, as it is rounded to the nearest HLS segment.

              Has no effect on live streams.

              Default is: unlimited.

       --hls-live-restart
              Skip to the beginning of a live stream, or as far back as possible.

       --http-stream-timeout TIMEOUT
              Timeout for reading data from HTTP streams.

              Default is: 60.0.

       --ringbuffer-size SIZE
              The  maximum  size of ringbuffer. Add a M or K suffix to specify mega or kilo bytes
              instead of bytes.

              The ringbuffer is used as a temporary storage between the stream  and  the  player.
              This  is  to  allows us to download the stream faster than the player wants to read
              it.

              The smaller the size, the higher chance  of  the  player  buffering  if  there  are
              download  speed  dips  and the higher size the more data we can use as a storage to
              catch up from speed dips.

              It also allows you to temporary pause as long as the ringbuffer  doesn't  get  full
              since we continue to download the stream in the background.

              NOTE:
                 A  smaller  size is recommended on lower end systems (such as Raspberry Pi) when
                 playing stream types that require some extra processing (such as HDS)  to  avoid
                 unnecessary background processing.

                 Default is: "16M".

       --rtmp-proxy PROXY, --rtmpdump-proxy PROXY
