Description-en: CLI that pipes video streams to video players
Livestreamer is a Command Line Interface that extracts video
streams from various services and hands them to a video player,
such as VLC. The main purpose of Livestreamer is to allow the
user to avoid buggy and CPU heavy flash plugins but still
be able to enjoy various streamed content.
.
Currently most of the big streaming services are supported
(e.g. Dailymotion, Livestream, Justin.tv, Twitch, YouTube Live
and UStream) and more specialized content providers can be
added easily using Livestreamer’s plugin system.
