<p><a href="https://streamlink.github.io/">Streamlink</a>
|
|
is a commandline program that can be used to watch streams in a player like
|
|
VLC Player. It has to be downloaded and installed separately from Chatty.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Streamlink is a fork of <a href="https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer">Livestreamer</a>
|
|
and more up-to-date, but mostly works the same way. If you want to use
|
|
Streamlink with Chatty you may have to change the <code>Base command</code>
|
|
to <code>streamlink</code> (or, as with Livestreamer, put the whole path
|
|
to the program if that is required in your case). Currently Streamlink
|
|
appears to be using the same commandline interface, so everything should
|
|
work as usual (after changing the <code>Base command</code>). If they do
|
|
change the interface, changes in Chatty may be required.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="usage">Usage</a></h2>
|
|
<p>You can open the Streamlink dialog that Chatty provides via
|
|
<code>Extra - Streamlink</code>, where you can directly run Streamlink
|
|
and change some settings.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each time you open a stream via the dialog or a context menu, a tab is
|
|
added to the dialog where the output of the Streamlink process is
|
|
redirected to. If you open a stream with the same stream name and quality you already
|
|
have open in a tab whose process isn't currently running, then that tab will
|
|
be reused.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The tab of a stream is automatically closed when you close the Video
|
|
Player opened by Streamlink, if the dialog isn't currently open. Otherwise
|
|
you have to close it yourself by using the <code>Close</code>-button on the
|
|
top right, which turns into an <code>End process</code>-button as long as
|
|
the process is still running. The <code>Retry</code>-button can be used to
|
|
re-run the last command of that tab (for example when it couldn't find the
|
|
stream, but you want to retry now because you know it's come online).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="settings">Settings</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The settings can be changed in the Streamlink dialog.</p>
|
|
<dl class="dl-settings">
|
|
<dt>Enable context menu entry</dt>
|
|
<dd>Adds a Streamlink submenu to all context menus that can be used to
|
|
open streams (for example right-click on channel, username or Live
|
|
Streams dialog).</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Show dialog when opening stream</dt>
|
|
<dd>Auto-opens the Streamlink Dialog when you open a stream out of a
|
|
context menu.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Auto close dialog when starting player</dt>
|
|
<dd>Auto-closes the Streamlink Dialog when the text <code>Starting player</code>
|
|
comes up in the log.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Context menu qualities</dt>
|
|
<dd>You can customize which quality options appear in the context menu.
|
|
The options you enter here are directly given as a parameter to
|
|
Streamlink, except <code>Select</code> which tells Chatty you want
|
|
to select a quality in the dialog.</dd>
|
|
<dd>Separate qualities by space or comma, add a <code>|</code> (vertical
|
|
bar) to add a separator to the menu.</dd>
|
|
<dd>Enclose qualities in brackets <code>{ }</code> if you need to add
|
|
commas, for example if you want to specify a list of fallback qualities.</dd>
|
|
<dd>Optionally add a display name for a group of qualities by separating
|
|
it with a colon (<code>:</code>).</dd>
|
|
<dd><em>Examples:</em>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>Best, High, Worst | Select</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>Source High Medium Low Mobile | Select</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>Best, {720p,720p60}, Select, {Audio,audio_only}</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>{High Quality:1080p60,1080p,720p60,720p} {Low Quality:360p,240p}</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Base command (Streamlink path and parameters)</dt>
|
|
<dd>This must contain the Streamlink executable, including any
|
|
commandline options that you always want to be included when running
|
|
Streamlink out of Chatty.</dd>
|
|
<dd>The URL and quality are automatically appended to this when running
|
|
Streamlink, so the overall command that is executed is build like
|
|
this:
|
|
<code><Base command> <url> <quality></code>.</dd>
|
|
<dd>You can use the variables <code>$stream</code>, <code>$url</code>
|
|
and <code>$quality</code> in this setting (see Examples).</dd>
|
|
<dd>The default is just <code>streamlink</code>, which is sufficient
|
|
if Streamlink is correctly included in the systems PATH variable,
|
|
but you may also specify the full path.</dd>
|
|
<dd>Remember to surround the path or any parameters with quotes if they
|
|
contain spaces, so the commandline knows they belong together.</dd>
|
|
<dd><em>Examples:</em>
|
|
<ul class="example-list">
|
|
<li><code>"C:\My Programs\Streamlink\streamlink.exe"</code><br />
|
|
(specify full path to the Streamlink executable)</li>
|
|
<li><code>"C:\My Programs\Streamlink\streamlink.exe" --player "C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe"</code><br />
|
|
(specify full path to Streamlink and use a different player)</li>
|
|
<li><code>/usr/local/bin/streamlink</code><br />
|
|
(this might work on Linux/Mac if it can't find Streamlink
|
|
without the full path)</li>
|
|
<li><code>streamlink -p "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --meta-title $stream/$quality"</code><br />
|
|
(change VLC Player window title to something more descriptive)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><span class="del">Use Authorization (Twitch Oauth Token)</span></dt>
|
|
<dd>Tell Streamlink to authenticate at Twitch with your Chatty access
|
|
token.</dd>
|
|
<dd>This option has been <a href="https://streamlink.github.io/changelog.html#streamlink-2-0-0-2020-12-22">removed</a>
|

from Streamlink and thus also from Chatty.</dd>

<h2><a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
|
|
<h3>Can't run Streamlink</h3>
|
|
<p>If you get an error like <code>Error: java.io.IOException: Cannot run
|
|
program "<...>": CreateProcess error=2 [..]</code>, then
|
|
Chatty probably can't find Streamlink on your system.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To solve this, first make sure that
|
|
you actually have Streamlink installed. You need to install it on you own, it does
|
|
not come bundled with Chatty. If you are sure it is installed (and you maybe can
|
|
run it from the commandline just fine), you may have to tell Chatty the full
|
|
path to the Streamlink executable for it to work by entering it in the
|
|
<code>Base command</code> field. See the <a href="#settings">Settings section</a> above for examples
|
|
and help on that.</p>
