22 URL A URL to attempt to extract streams from.
23 Usually, the protocol of http(s) URLs can be omitted ("‐
25 https://"), depending on the implementation of the plugin being
26 used.
27 Alternatively, the URL can also be specified by using the --url
29 option.
30 STREAM Stream to play.
32 Use best or worst for selecting the highest or lowest available
34 quality.
35 Fallback streams can be specified by using a comma-separated
37 list:
38 "720p,480p,best"
40 If no stream is specified and --default-stream is not used, then
42 a list of available streams will be printed.
43
45 -h
46 --help Show this help message and exit.
48 -V
50 --version
52 Show version number and exit.
53 --plugins
55 Print a list of all currently installed plugins.
56 --plugin-dirs DIRECTORY
58 Attempts to load plugins from these directories.
59 Multiple directories can be used by separating them with a
61 comma.
62 --can-handle-url URL
64 Check if Streamlink has a plugin that can handle the specified
65 URL.
66 Returns status code 1 for false and 0 for true.
68 Useful for external scripting.
70 --can-handle-url-no-redirect URL
72 Same as --can-handle-url but without following redirects when
73 looking up the URL.
74 --config FILENAME
76 Load options from this config file.
77 Can be repeated to load multiple files, in which case the
79 options are merged on top of each other where the last config
80 has highest priority.
81 -l LEVEL
83 --loglevel LEVEL
85 Set the log message threshold.
86 Valid levels are: none, error, warning, info, debug, trace
88 -Q
90 --quiet

93 Alias for "--loglevel none".
95 -j
97 --json Output JSON representations instead of the normal text output.
99 Useful for external scripting.
101 --auto-version-check {yes,true,1,on,no,false,0,off}
103 Enable or disable the automatic check for a new version of
104 Streamlink.
105 Default is: "no".
107 --version-check
109 Runs a version check and exits.
110 --locale LOCALE
112 The preferred locale setting, for selecting the preferred subti‐
113 tle and audio language.
114 The locale is formatted as [language_code]_[country_code], eg.
116 en_US or es_ES.
117 Default is: system locale.
119 --interface INTERFACE
121 Set the network interface.
122 -4
124 --ipv4 Resolve address names to IPv4 only. This option overrides -6.
126 -6
128 --ipv6 Resolve address names to IPv6 only. This option overrides -4.
130
132 -p COMMAND
133 --player COMMAND
135 Player to feed stream data to. By default, VLC will be used if
136 it can be found in its default location.
137 This is a shell-like syntax to support using a specific player:
139 streamlink --player=vlc <url> [stream]
141 Absolute or relative paths can also be passed via this option in
143 the event the player's executable can not be resolved:
144 streamlink --player=/path/to/vlc <url> [stream]
146 streamlink --player=./vlc-player/vlc <url> [stream]
147 To use a player that is located in a path with spaces you must
149 quote the parameter or its value:
150 streamlink "--player=/path/with spaces/vlc" <url> [stream]
152 streamlink --player "C:\path\with spaces\mpc-hc64.exe" <url> [stream]
153 Options may also be passed to the player. For example:
155 streamlink --player "vlc --file-caching=5000" <url> [stream]
157 As an alternative to this, see the --player-args parameter,
159 which does not log any custom player arguments.
160 -a ARGUMENTS
162 --player-args ARGUMENTS
164 This option allows you to customize the default arguments which
165 are put together with the value of --player to create a command
166 to execute.
167 It's usually enough to only use --player instead of this unless
169 you need to add arguments after the player's input argument or
170 if you don't want any of the player arguments to be logged.
171 The value can contain formatting variables surrounded by curly
173 braces, { and }. If you need to include a brace character, it
174 can be escaped by doubling, e.g. {{ and }}.
175 Formatting variables available:
177 {playerinput}
179 This is the input that the player will use. For standard
180 input (stdin), it is -, but it can also be a URL, depend‐
181 ing on the options used.
182 {filename}
184 The old fallback variable name with the same functional‐
185 ity.
186 Example:
188 streamlink -p vlc -a "--play-and-exit {playerinput}" <url> [stream]
190 NOTE:
192 When neither of the variables are found, {playerinput} will
193 be appended to the whole parameter value, to ensure that the
194 player always receives an input argument.
195 -v
197 --verbose-player
199 Allow the player to display its console output.
200 -n
202 --player-fifo
204 --fifo Make the player read the stream through a named pipe instead of
206 the stdin pipe.
207 --player-http
209 Make the player read the stream through HTTP instead of the
210 stdin pipe.
211 --player-continuous-http
213 Make the player read the stream through HTTP, but unlike
214 --player-http it will continuously try to open the stream if the
215 player requests it.
216 This makes it possible to handle stream disconnects if your
218 player is capable of reconnecting to a HTTP stream. This is usu‐
219 ally done by setting your player to a "repeat mode".
220 --player-external-http
222 Serve stream data through HTTP without running any player. This
223 is useful to allow external devices like smartphones or stream‐
224 ing boxes to watch streams they wouldn't be able to otherwise.
225 Behavior will be similar to the continuous HTTP option, but no
227 player program will be started, and the server will listen on
228 all available connections instead of just in the local (loop‐
229 back) interface.
230 The URLs that can be used to access the stream will be printed
232 to the console, and the server can be interrupted using CTRL-C.
233 --player-external-http-port PORT
235 A fixed port to use for the external HTTP server if that mode is
236 enabled. Omit or set to 0 to use a random high ( >1024) port.
237 --player-passthrough TYPES
239 A comma-delimited list of stream types to pass to the player as
240 a URL to let it handle the transport of the stream instead.
241 Stream types that can be converted into a playable URL are:
243 · hls
245 · http
247 · rtmp
249 Make sure your player can handle the stream type when using
251 this.
252 --player-no-close
254 By default Streamlink will close the player when the stream
255 ends. This is to avoid "dead" GUI players lingering after a
256 stream ends.
257 It does however have the side-effect of sometimes closing a
259 player before it has played back all of its cached data.
260 This option will instead let the player decide when to exit.
262 -t TITLE
264 --title TITLE
266 This option allows you to supply a title to be displayed in the
267 title bar of the window that the video player is launched in.
268 This value can contain formatting variables surrounded by curly
270 braces, { and }. If you need to include a brace character, it
271 can be escaped by doubling, e.g. {{ and }}.
272 This option is only supported for the following players: mpv,
274 potplayer, vlc.
275 VLC specific information:
277 VLC has certain codes you can use inside your title.
278 These are accessible inside --title by using a backslash
279 before the dollar sign VLC uses to denote a format char‐
280 acter.
281 e.g. to put the current date in your VLC window title,
283 the string "$A" could be inserted inside your --title
284 string.
285 A full list of the format codes VLC uses is available
287 here:
288 https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Format_String/
289 mpv specific information:
291 mpv has certain codes you can use inside your title.
292 These are accessible inside --title by using a backslash
293 before the dollar sign mpv uses to denote a format char‐
294 acter.
295 e.g. to put the current version of mpv running inside
297 your mpv window title, the string "${{mpv-version}}"
298 could be inserted inside your --title string.
299 A full list of the format codes mpv uses is available
301 here: https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#property-list
302 Formatting variables available to use in --title:
304 {title}
306 If available, this is the title of the stream. Other‐
307 wise, it is the string "Unknown Title"
308 {author}
310 If available, this is the author of the stream. Other‐
311 wise, it is the string "Unknown Author"
312 {category}
314 If available, this is the category the stream has been
315 placed into.
316 · For Twitch, this is the game being played
318 · For YouTube, it's the category e.g. Gaming, Sports,
320 Music...
321 Otherwise, it is the string "No Category"
323 {game} This is just a synonym for {category} which may make more
325 sense for gaming oriented platforms. "Game being played"
326 is a way to categorize the stream, so it doesn't need its
327 own separate handling.
328 {url} URL of the stream.
330 Examples:
332 streamlink -p vlc --title "{title} -!- {author} -!- {category} \$A" <url> [stream]
334 streamlink -p mpv --title "{title} -- {author} -- {category} -- (\${{mpv-version}})" <url> [stream]
335
337 -o FILENAME
338 --output FILENAME
340 Write stream data to FILENAME instead of playing it.
341 You will be prompted if the file already exists.
343 -f
345 --force
347 When using -o or -r, always write to file even if it already
348 exists.
349 --force-progress
351 When using -o or -r, show the download progress bar even if
352 there is no terminal.
353 -O
355 --stdout
357 Write stream data to stdout instead of playing it.
358 -r FILENAME
360 --record FILENAME
362 Open the stream in the player, while at the same time writing it
363 to FILENAME.
364 You will be prompted if the file already exists.
366 -R FILENAME
368 --record-and-pipe FILENAME
370 Write stream data to stdout, while at the same time writing it
371 to FILENAME.
372 You will be prompted if the file already exists.
374
376 --url URL
377 A URL to attempt to extract streams from.
378 Usually, the protocol of http(s) URLs can be omitted (https://),
380 depending on the implementation of the plugin being used.
381 This is an alternative to setting the URL using a positional
383 argument and can be useful if set in a config file.
384 --default-stream STREAM
386 Stream to play.
387 Use best or worst for selecting the highest or lowest available
389 quality.
390 Fallback streams can be specified by using a comma-separated
392 list:
393 "720p,480p,best"
395 This is an alternative to setting the stream using a positional
397 argument and can be useful if set in a config file.
398 --stream-url
400 If possible, translate the resolved stream to a URL and print
401 it.
402 --retry-streams DELAY
404 Retry fetching the list of available streams until streams are
405 found while waiting DELAY second(s) between each attempt. If
406 unset, only one attempt will be made to fetch the list of
407 streams available.
408 The number of fetch retry attempts can be capped with
410 --retry-max.
411 --retry-max COUNT
413 When using --retry-streams, stop retrying the fetch after COUNT
414 retry attempt(s). Fetch will retry infinitely if COUNT is zero
415 or unset.
416 If --retry-max is set without setting --retry-streams, the delay
418 between retries will default to 1 second.
419 --retry-open ATTEMPTS
421 After a successful fetch, try ATTEMPTS time(s) to open the
422 stream until giving up.
423 Default is: 1.
425 --stream-types TYPES
427 --stream-priority TYPES
429 A comma-delimited list of stream types to allow.
430 The order will be used to separate streams when there are multi‐
432 ple streams with the same name but different stream types. Any
433 stream type not listed will be omitted from the available
434 streams list. A * can be used as a wildcard to match any other
435 type of stream, eg. muxed-stream.
436 Default is: "rtmp,hls,hds,http,akamaihd,*".
438 --stream-sorting-excludes STREAMS
440 Fine tune the best and worst stream name synonyms by excluding
441 unwanted streams.
442 If all of the available streams get excluded, best and worst
444 will become inaccessible and new special stream synonyms
445 best-unfiltered and worst-unfiltered can be used as a fallback
446 selection method.
447 Uses a filter expression in the format:
449 [operator]<value>
451 Valid operators are >, >=, < and <=. If no operator is specified
453 then equality is tested.
454 For example this will exclude streams ranked higher than "480p":
456 ">480p"
458 Multiple filters can be used by separating each expression with
460 a comma.
461 For example this will exclude streams from two quality types:
463 ">480p,>medium"
465
467 --hds-live-edge SECONDS

546 002.ts
547 Default is: None.
549 --hls-segment-key-uri URI
551 URI to segment encryption key. If no URI is specified, the URI
552 contained in the segments will be used.

574 --hls-audio-select "English,German"
576 --hls-audio-select "en,de"
577 --hls-audio-select "*"
578 NOTE:
580 This is only useful in special circumstances where the regu‐
581 lar locale option fails, such as when multiple sources of the
582 same language exists.
583 --hls-timeout TIMEOUT
585 Timeout for reading data from HLS streams.
586 Default is: 60.0.
588 --hls-start-offset [HH:]MM:SS
590 Amount of time to skip from the beginning of the stream. For
591 live streams, this is a negative offset from the end of the
592 stream (rewind).
593 Default is: 00:00:00.
595 --hls-duration [HH:]MM:SS
597 Limit the playback duration, useful for watching segments of a
598 stream. The actual duration may be slightly longer, as it is
599 rounded to the nearest HLS segment.
600 Default is: unlimited.
602 --hls-live-restart
604 Skip to the beginning of a live stream, or as far back as possi‐
605 ble.
606 --http-stream-timeout TIMEOUT
608 Timeout for reading data from HTTP streams.
609 Default is: 60.0.
611 --ringbuffer-size SIZE
613 The maximum size of ringbuffer. Add a M or K suffix to specify
614 mega or kilo bytes instead of bytes.
615 The ringbuffer is used as a temporary storage between the stream
617 and the player. This is to allows us to download the stream
618 faster than the player wants to read it.
619 The smaller the size, the higher chance of the player buffering
621 if there are download speed dips and the higher size the more
622 data we can use as a storage to catch up from speed dips.
623 It also allows you to temporary pause as long as the ringbuffer
625 doesn't get full since we continue to download the stream in the
626 background.
627 Default is: "16M".
629 NOTE:
631 A smaller size is recommended on lower end systems (such as
632 Raspberry Pi) when playing stream types that require some
633 extra processing (such as HDS) to avoid unnecessary back‐
634 ground processing.
635 --rtmp-proxy PROXY
637 A SOCKS proxy that RTMP streams will use.
638 Example: 127.0.0.1:9050
640 --rtmp-rtmpdump FILENAME

648 Timeout for reading data from RTMP streams.
649 Default is: 60.0.
651 --stream-segment-attempts ATTEMPTS
653 How many attempts should be done to download each segment before
654 giving up.
655 This is generic option used by streams not covered by other
657 options, such as stream protocols specific to plugins, e.g.
658 UStream.
659 Default is: 3.
661 --stream-segment-threads THREADS
663 The size of the thread pool used to download segments. Minimum
664 value is 1 and maximum is 10.

698 tory.
699 Useful when debugging rtmpdump related issues.
701 --subprocess-errorlog-path PATH
703 Log the subprocess errorlog to a specific file rather than a
704 temporary file. Takes precedence over subprocess-errorlog.
705 Useful when debugging rtmpdump related issues.
707 --ffmpeg-ffmpeg FILENAME
709 FFMPEG is used to access or mux separate video and audio
710 streams. You can specify the location of the ffmpeg executable
711 if it is not in your PATH.
