Streamlink

[trimechee]

Hello, tahnk you for this awsome media player 🥇 it will be even more great to add support for the famous CLI "streamlink" to play even more videos from more web sites if yt-dlp fails, because using command line especially to choose video quality is a bit difficult and complex, thanks a lot!

Hi!

Try

streamlink -p QMPlay2 --player-http URL best

or

streamlink -p QMPlay2 -a /dev/stdin URL best

I don't know why the named pipe isn't working, however both above commands works.

Hi, thank you very much for yout precious help :)

Sadly, I don't have a very powerful internet connection, I would like to see the videos with standard medium quality 360p or 480p, how to do it please? and how to add these command please: "streamlink -p QMPlay2 --player-http URL best"? should we firstdownload streamlink and put that in stream link or is there an option in QMPlay2 player to add cutom arguments?

I specify that I have never used streamlink, when I saw that it was a CLI software, I gave up using this software unless I found software with a front end GUI, hence my request to integrate it in order to simplify its use....and how to increase the size of the network cache please because my internet connection is not powerful and there are videos that can be in 4k this is why I asked previously if it there is a possibility to increase the buffer network for streaming media online videos, for exemple 60 seconds network buffer......

For the worst quality just replace best for worst.
480p and 360p are common qualities, so maybe they will be available, too (put 480p or 360p instead of best).

---

To see all available qualities, just run:

streamlink URL

It will output possible qualities for URL.

---

Try both of two commands I gave you in my previous message and choose what is working better.

yt-dlp handles streaming and it's already a part of QMPlay2. What do streamlink or the others provide that yt-dlp doesn't cover?

[trimechee]

Streamlink is focused on live streams, from exemple streamlin can play many live streams from offcial websites of tv channels, yt-dlo is focused on vod streams, video on demand videos....
