📦 Installation

Please take a look at the documentation for different ways of installing Streamlink:

👍 Features

Streamlink is built on top of a plugin system which allows support for new services to be added easily.

💡 Quickstart

After installing, simply run:

The default behavior of Streamlink is to play back streams in the VLC player, but a lot of other options and output methods are available, such as writing the stream to the filesystem, reading stream metadata, etc.
