Best way to experience livestreams (youtube/twitch and many others)

Get rid of those shitty unoptimized flash/html5 players!

Plus, allows you to download (some) streams, so you can watch them later

What is Streamlink?

The main purpose of Streamlink is to allow the user to avoid buggy and CPU/RAM heavy Web browsers but still be able to enjoy various streamed content with the ability to record. There is also an API available for developers to access video stream data.

Built in plugins: https://streamlink.github.io/plugins.html This is a list of the currently built in plugins and what URLs and features they support. Streamlink's primary focus is live streams, so VOD support is limited.

This project was forked from Livestreamer.
