streamlink

Extracts streams from various services and pipes them into a video player of choice.

=> More information.

• Attempt to extract streams from the URL specified, and if it's successful, print out a list of available streams to choose from:

streamlink {example.com/stream}

• Open a stream with the specified quality:

streamlink {example.com/stream} {720p60}

• Select the highest or lowest available quality:

streamlink {example.com/stream} {best|worst}

• Specify which player to use to feed stream data to (VLC is used by default if found):

streamlink --player={mpv} {example.com/stream} {best}

• Specify the 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 (rewind):

streamlink --hls-start-offset {[HH:]MM:SS} {example.com/stream} {best}

• Skip to the beginning of a live stream, or as far back as possible:

streamlink --hls-live-restart {example.com/stream} {best}

• Write stream data to a file instead of playing it:

streamlink --output {path/to/file.ts} {example.com/stream} {best}

• Open the stream in the player, while at the same time writing it to a file:

streamlink --record {path/to/file.ts} {example.com/stream} {best}
