.SH TUTORIAL
.sp
Streamlink is command\-line application, this means the commands described
here should be typed into a terminal. On Windows this means you should open
the \fI\%command prompt\fP or \fI\%PowerShell\fP, on Mac OS X open the \fI\%Terminal\fP app
and if you\(aqre on Linux or BSD you probably already know the drill.
.sp
The way Streamlink works is that it\(aqs only a means to extract and transport
the streams, and the playback is done by an external video player. Streamlink
works best with \fI\%VLC\fP or \fI\%mpv\fP, which are also cross\-platform, but other players
may be compatible too, see the Players page for a complete overview.
.sp
Now to get into actually using Streamlink, let\(aqs say you want to watch the
stream located on \fI\%http://twitch.tv/day9tv\fP, you start off by telling Streamlink
where to attempt to extract streams from. This is done by giving the URL to the
command \fBstreamlink\fP as the first argument:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ streamlink twitch.tv/day9tv
[cli][info] Found matching plugin twitch for URL twitch.tv/day9tv
Available streams: audio, high, low, medium, mobile (worst), source (best)
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fBNOTE:\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
You don\(aqt need to include the protocol when dealing with HTTP URLs,
e.g. just \fBtwitch.tv/day9tv\fP is enough and quicker to type.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
This command will tell Streamlink to attempt to extract streams from the URL
specified, and if it\(aqs successful, print out a list of available streams to choose
from.
.sp
In some cases  (\fI\%Supported streaming protocols\fP)  local files are supported
using the \fBfile://\fP protocol, for example a local HLS playlist can be played.
Relative file paths and absolute paths are supported. All path separators are \fB/\fP,
even on Windows.

To select a stream and start playback, we simply add the stream name as a second

.ft C
$ streamlink twitch.tv/day9tv source

.sp
The stream you chose should now be playing in the player. It\(aqs a common use case
to just want start the highest quality stream and not be bothered with what it\(aqs
named. To do this just specify \fBbest\fP as the stream name and Streamlink will
attempt to rank the streams and open the one of highest quality. You can also
specify \fBworst\fP to get the lowest quality.
.sp
Now that you have a basic grasp of how Streamlink works, you may want to look
into customizing it to your own needs, such as:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
Creating a \fI\%configuration file\fP of options you
want to use
.IP \(bu 2
Setting up your player to cache some data
before playing the stream to help avoiding buffering issues
.UNINDENT
.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
.sp
Writing the command\-line options every time is inconvenient, that\(aqs why Streamlink
is capable of reading options from a configuration file instead.
.sp
Streamlink will look for config files in different locations depending on
your platform:

.SH PLUGIN SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION FILE
.sp
You may want to use specific options for some plugins only. This
can be accomplished by placing those settings inside a plugin specific
config file. Options inside these config files will override the main
config file when a URL matching the plugin is used.
.sp
Streamlink expects this config to be named like the main config but
with \fB\&.<plugin name>\fP attached to the end.

.SH PLUGIN SPECIFIC USAGE
.SS Authenticating with Twitch
.sp
It\(aqs possible to access subscription content on Twitch by giving Streamlink
access to your account.
.sp
Authentication is done by creating an OAuth token that Streamlink will
use to access your account. It\(aqs done like this:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ streamlink \-\-twitch\-oauth\-authenticate
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
This will open a web browser where Twitch will ask you if you want to give
Streamlink permission to access your account, then forwards you to a page
with further instructions on how to use it.
.SS Authenticating with Crunchyroll
.sp
Crunchyroll requires authenticating with a premium account to access some of
their content. To do so, the plugin provides a couple of options to input your
information, \fI\%\-\-crunchyroll\-username\fP and \fI\%\-\-crunchyroll\-password\fP\&.
.sp
You can login like this:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ streamlink \-\-crunchyroll\-username=xxxx \-\-crunchyroll\-password=xxx http://crunchyroll.com/a\-crunchyroll\-episode\-link
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fBNOTE:\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
If you omit the password, streamlink will ask for it.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Once logged in, the plugin makes sure to save the session credentials to avoid
asking your username and password again.
.sp
Nevertheless, these credentials are valid for a limited amount of time, so it
might be a good idea to save your username and password in your
\fI\%configuration file\fP anyway.
.sp
\fBWARNING:\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
The API this plugin uses isn\(aqt supposed to be available to use it on
computers. The plugin tries to blend in as a valid device using custom
headers and following the API usual flow (e.g. reusing credentials), but
this does not assure that your account will be safe from being spotted for
unusual behavior.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SS HTTP proxy with Crunchyroll
.sp
You can use the \fI\%\-\-http\-proxy\fP \fBand\fP \fI\%\-\-https\-proxy\fP
options (you need both since the plugin uses both protocols) to access the
Crunchyroll servers through a proxy to be able to stream region locked content.
.sp
When doing this, it\(aqs very probable that you will get denied to access the
stream; this occurs because the session and credentials used by the plugin
where obtained when logged from your own region, and the server still assumes
you\(aqre in that region.
.sp
For this, the plugin provides the \fI\%\-\-crunchyroll\-purge\-credentials\fP
option, which removes your saved session and credentials and tries to log
in again using your username and password.
.SS Authenticating with FunimationNow
.sp
Like Crunchyroll, the FunimationNow plugin requires authenticating with a premium account to access some
content: \fI\%\-\-funimation\-email\fP, \fI\%\-\-funimation\-password\fP\&. In addition, this plugin requires a \fBincap_ses\fP cookie to be
sent with each HTTP request (see issue \fI\%#2088\fP); this unique session cookie can be found in your browser and sent via the \fI\%\-\-http\-cookie\fP option.
.sp
For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ streamlink \-\-funimation\-email=\(aqxxx\(aq \-\-funimation\-password=\(aqxxx\(aq \-\-http\-cookie \(aqincap_ses_xxx=xxxx=\(aq https://funimation.com/shows/show/an\-episode\-link

If a plugin is added with the same name as a built\-in plugin then
the added plugin will take precedence. This is useful if you want
to upgrade plugins independently of the Streamlink version.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SH PLAYING BUILT-IN STREAMING PROTOCOLS DIRECTLY
.sp
There are many types of streaming protocols used by services today and
Streamlink supports most of them. It\(aqs possible to tell Streamlink
to access a streaming protocol directly instead of relying on a plugin
to extract the streams from a URL for you.
.sp
A protocol can be accessed directly by specifying it in the URL format:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
protocol://path [key=value]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Accessing a stream that requires extra parameters to be passed along
(e.g. RTMP):
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ streamlink "rtmp://streaming.server.net/playpath live=1 swfVfy=http://server.net/flashplayer.swf"
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
When passing parameters to the built\-in stream plugins the values will either be treated as plain
strings, as is the case in the above example for \fBswfVry\fP, or they will be interpreted as Python literals. For
example you can pass a Python dict or Python list as one of the parameters.
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ streamlink "rtmp://streaming.server.net/playpath conn=[\(aqB:1\(aq, \(aqS:authMe\(aq, \(aqO:1\(aq, \(aqNN:code:1.23\(aq, \(aqNS:flag:ok\(aq, \(aqO:0\(aq]"
$ streamlink "hls://streaming.server.net/playpath params={\(aqtoken\(aq: \(aqmagicToken\(aq}"
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
In the above examples \fBconn\fP will be passed as the Python list:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
[\(aqB:1\(aq, \(aqS:authMe\(aq, \(aqO:1\(aq, \(aqNN:code:1.23\(aq, \(aqNS:flag:ok\(aq, \(aqO:0\(aq]

.SH PROXY SUPPORT
.sp
You can use the \fI\%\-\-http\-proxy\fP and \fI\%\-\-https\-proxy\fP options to
change the proxy server that Streamlink will use for HTTP and HTTPS requests respectively.
As HTTP and HTTPS requests can be handled by separate proxies, you may need to specify both
options if the plugin you use makes HTTP and HTTPS requests.
.sp
Both HTTP and SOCKS proxies are supported, authentication is supported for both types.
.sp
\fBNOTE:\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
When using a SOCKS proxy the \fBsocks4\fP and \fBsocks5\fP schemes mean that DNS lookups are done
locally, rather than on the proxy server. To have the proxy server perform the DNS lookups, the
\fBsocks4a\fP and \fBsocks5h\fP schemes should be used instead.

capable of reconnecting to a HTTP stream. This is usually done by
setting your player to a "repeat mode".
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-player\-external\-http
Serve stream data through HTTP without running any player. This is
useful to allow external devices like smartphones or streaming boxes to
watch streams they wouldn\(aqt be able to otherwise.
.sp
Behavior will be similar to the continuous HTTP option, but no player
program will be started, and the server will listen on all available
connections instead of just in the local (loopback) interface.
