OPTIONS
Positional arguments
URL A URL to attempt to extract streams from.

Usually, the protocol of http(s) URLs can be omitted (https://),
depending on the implementation of the plugin being used.

Alternatively, the URL can also be specified by using the --url
option.

STREAM Stream to play.

Use best or worst for selecting the highest or lowest available
quality.

Fallback streams can be specified by using a comma-separated
list:

"720p,480p,best"

If no stream is specified and --default-stream is not used, then
a list of available streams will be printed.

General options
-h

--help Show this help message and exit.

-V

--version
Show version number and exit.

--plugins
Print a list of all currently installed plugins.

--plugin-dirs DIRECTORY
Attempts to load plugins from these directories.

Multiple directories can be used by separating them with a
comma.

--can-handle-url URL
Check if Streamlink has a plugin that can handle the specified
URL.

Returns status code 1 for false and 0 for true.

Useful for external scripting.

--can-handle-url-no-redirect URL
Same as --can-handle-url but without following redirects when
looking up the URL.

--config FILENAME
Load options from this config file.

Can be repeated to load multiple files, in which case the op-
tions are merged on top of each other where the last config has
highest priority.

--no-config
Disable loading any default or custom config files.

-l LEVEL

--loglevel LEVEL
Set the log message threshold.

Valid levels are, in order of increasing verbosity:

none, critical, error, warning, info, debug, trace, all

Default is: "info".

--logfile FILE
Append log output to FILE instead of writing to stdout/stderr.

User prompts and download progress won't be written to FILE.

A value of - (dash) will set the file name to an ISO8601-like
string and will choose the following default log directories.

Windows:

%TEMP%\streamlink\logs

macOS:

${HOME}/Library/Logs/streamlink

Linux/BSD:

${XDG_STATE_HOME:-${HOME}/.local/state}/streamlink/logs

-Q

--quiet
Hide all log output.

Alias for --loglevel none.

-j

--json Output JSON representations instead of the normal text output.

Useful for external scripting.

--auto-version-check {yes,true,1,on,no,false,0,off}
Enable or disable the automatic check for a new version of
Streamlink.

Default is: "no".

--version-check
Runs a version check and exits.

--locale LOCALE
The preferred locale setting, for selecting the preferred subti-
tle and audio language.

The locale is formatted as [language_code]_[country_code], eg.
en_US or es_ES.

Default is: system locale.

--interface INTERFACE
Set the network interface.

-4

--ipv4 Resolve address names to IPv4 only. This option overrides
--ipv6.

-6

--ipv6 Resolve address names to IPv6 only. This option overrides
--ipv4.

Player options
-p PATH

--player PATH
The player executable that will be launched (unless a different
output method was chosen).

Either set an absolute or relative path to the player exe-
cutable, or just set the executable's name if it can be resolved
from the paths of the system's PATH environment variable.

In addition to setting the player executable path, custom player
arguments can be set via --player-args.

NOTE:
In the past, --player allowed defining additional player ar-
guments, which as a consequence required wrapping player
paths that contained spaces in quotation marks. This is un-
supported since release 6.0.0.

Default is: VLC player, if available.

-a ARGUMENTS

--player-args ARGUMENTS
This option allows the arguments which are used to launch the
player process to be customized.

The value can contain formatting variables surrounded by curly
braces, { and }. Curly brace characters can be escaped by dou-
bling, e.g. {{ and }}.

Available formatting variables:

{playerinput}
This is the input argument that the player will receive.
For standard input (stdin), it is - (dash), but it can
also be a file path or URL, depending on the options
used. If unset, then the player input argument will be
appended to the parsed player arguments list.

{playertitleargs}
The automatically generated player title arguments, if a
supported player was found. See --title for more. If un-
set, automatically generated player title arguments will
be prepended to the parsed player arguments list.

Example:

streamlink -p vlc -a "--play-and-exit --no-one-instance" <url> [stream]

Default is: "".

--player-env KEY=VALUE
Add an additional environment variable to the spawned player
process, in addition to the ones inherited from the Stream-
link/Python parent process. This allows setting player environ-
ment variables in config files.

Can be repeated to add multiple environment variables.

-v

--verbose-player
Allow the player to display its console output.

-n

--player-fifo

--fifo Make the player read the stream through a named pipe instead of
the stdin pipe.

--player-http
Make the player read the stream through HTTP instead of the
stdin pipe.

--player-continuous-http
Make the player read the stream through HTTP, but unlike
--player-http it will continuously try to open the stream if the
player requests it.

This makes it possible to handle stream disconnects if your
player is capable of reconnecting to a HTTP stream. This is usu-
ally done by setting your player to a "repeat mode".

--player-external-http
Serve stream data through HTTP without running any player. This
is useful to allow external devices like smartphones or stream-
ing boxes to watch streams they wouldn't be able to otherwise.

The default behavior is similar to the --player-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.

See --player-external-http-interface for choosing a specific
network interface, and see --player-external-http-port for
choosing a non-randomized port.

Optionally, the --player-external-http-continuous option allows
for disabling the continuous run-mode, so that Streamlink will
stop when the stream ends.

The URLs that can be used to access the stream will be printed
to the console, and the server can be interrupted using CTRL-C.

--player-external-http-continuous {yes,true,1,on,no,false,0,off}
Set the run-mode of --player-external-http to continuous or
non-continuous.

In the continuous run-mode, Streamlink will keep running after
the stream has ended and will wait for the next HTTP request be-
ing made unless it gets shut down via CTRL-C.

If set to non-continuous, Streamlink will stop once the stream
has ended.

Default is: true.

--player-external-http-interface INTERFACE
The network interface on which the HTTP server will be listening
on. If unset or set to 0.0.0.0, all available interfaces will
be bound.

--player-external-http-port PORT
A fixed port to use for the external HTTP server if that mode is
enabled. Omit or set to 0 to use a random high ( >1024) port.

--player-passthrough TYPES
A comma-delimited list of stream types to pass to the player as
a URL to let it handle the transport of the stream instead.

Stream types that can be converted into a playable URL are:

• hls

• http

Make sure your player can handle the stream type when using
this.

--player-no-close
By default Streamlink will close the player when the stream
ends. This is to avoid "dead" GUI players lingering after a
stream ends.

It does however have the side-effect of sometimes closing a
player before it has played back all of its cached data.

This option will instead let the player decide when to exit.

-t TITLE

--title TITLE
Change the title of the video player's window.

Please see the "Metadata variables" section of Streamlink's CLI
documentation for all available metadata variables, as well as
the "Plugins" section for the list of metadata variables defined
in each plugin.

This option is only supported for the following players: mpv,
potplayer, vlc

VLC specific information:
VLC does support special formatting variables on its own:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Format_String/

These variables are accessible in the --title option by
adding a backslash in front of the dollar sign which VLC
uses as its formatting character.

For example, to put the current date in your VLC window
title, the string \$A could be inserted inside the
--title string.

Example:

streamlink -p mpv --title "{author} - {category} - {title}" <URL> [STREAM]

File output options
-o FILENAME

--output FILENAME
Write stream data to FILENAME instead of playing it. If FILENAME
is set to - (dash), then the stream data will be written to std-
out, similar to the --stdout argument.

Non-existent directories and subdirectories will be created if
they do not exist, if filesystem permissions allow.

You will be prompted if the file already exists.

Unsupported characters in substituted variables will be replaced
with an underscore.

Example:

streamlink --output "~/recordings/{author}/{category}/{id}-{time:%Y%m%d%H%M%S}.ts" <URL> [STREAM]

-O

--stdout
Write stream data to stdout instead of playing it.

-r FILENAME

--record FILENAME
Open the stream in the player, while at the same time writing it
to FILENAME. If FILENAME is set to - (dash), then the stream
data will be written to stdout, similar to the --stdout argu-
ment, while still opening the player.

Non-existent directories and subdirectories will be created if
they do not exist, if filesystem permissions allow.

You will be prompted if the file already exists.

Unsupported characters in substituted variables will be replaced
with an underscore.

Example:

streamlink --record "~/recordings/{author}/{category}/{id}-{time:%Y%m%d%H%M%S}.ts" <URL> [STREAM]

-R FILENAME

--record-and-pipe FILENAME
Write stream data to stdout, while at the same time writing it
to FILENAME.

Non-existent directories and subdirectories will be created if
they do not exist, if filesystem permissions allow.

You will be prompted if the file already exists.

Unsupported characters in substituted variables will be replaced
with an underscore.

Example:

streamlink --record-and-pipe "~/recordings/{author}/{category}/{id}-{time:%Y%m%d%H%M%S}.ts" <URL> [STREAM]

--fs-safe-rules
The rules used to make formatting variables filesystem-safe are
chosen automatically according to the type of system in use.
This overrides the automatic detection.

Intended for use when Streamlink is running on a UNIX-like OS
but writing to Windows filesystems such as NTFS; USB devices us-
ing VFAT or exFAT; CIFS shares that are enforcing Windows file-
name limitations, etc.

These characters are replaced with an underscore for the rules
in use:

• POSIX: \x00-\x1F /

• Windows: \x00-\x1F \x7F " * / : < > ? \ |

-f

--force
When using --output or --record, always write to file even if it
already exists (overwrite).

--progress {yes,force,no}
When using --output or --record, show or hide the download
progress bar, or force it if there's no terminal.

Default is: yes.

--force-progress
Deprecated in favor of --progress=force.

Stream options
--url URL
A URL to attempt to extract streams from.

Usually, the protocol of http(s) URLs can be omitted (https://),
depending on the implementation of the plugin being used.

This is an alternative to setting the URL using a positional ar-
gument and can be useful if set in a config file.

--default-stream STREAM
Stream to play.

Use best or worst for selecting the highest or lowest available
quality.

Fallback streams can be specified by using a comma-separated
list:

"720p,480p,best"

This is an alternative to setting the stream using a positional
argument and can be useful if set in a config file.

--stream-url
If possible, translate the resolved stream to a URL and print
it.

--retry-streams DELAY
Retry fetching the list of available streams until streams are
found while waiting DELAY second(s) between each attempt. If un-
set, only one attempt will be made to fetch the list of streams
available.

The number of fetch retry attempts can be capped with
--retry-max.

--retry-max COUNT
When using --retry-streams, stop retrying the fetch after COUNT
retry attempt(s). Fetch will retry infinitely if COUNT is zero
or unset.

If --retry-max is set without setting --retry-streams, the delay
between retries will default to 1 second.

--retry-open ATTEMPTS
After a successful fetch, try ATTEMPTS time(s) to open the
stream until giving up.

Default is: 1.

--stream-types TYPES

--stream-priority TYPES
A comma-delimited list of stream types to allow.

The order will be used to separate streams when there are multi-
ple streams with the same name but different stream types. Any
stream type not listed will be omitted from the available
streams list. An * (asterisk) can be used as a wildcard to
match any other type of stream, eg. muxed-stream.

Default is: "hls,http,*".

--stream-sorting-excludes STREAMS
Fine tune the best and worst stream name synonyms by excluding
unwanted streams.

If all of the available streams get excluded, best and worst
will become inaccessible and new special stream synonyms
best-unfiltered and worst-unfiltered can be used as a fallback
selection method.

Uses a filter expression in the format:

[operator]<value>

Valid operators are >, >=, < and <=. If no operator is specified
then equality is tested.

For example this will exclude streams ranked higher than "480p":

--stream-sorting-excludes ">480p"

Multiple filters can be used by separating each expression with
a comma.

For example this will exclude streams from two quality types:

--stream-sorting-excludes ">480p,>medium"

Stream transport options
--ringbuffer-size SIZE
The maximum size of the ringbuffer. Mega- or kilobytes can be
specified via the M or K suffix respectively.

The ringbuffer is used as a temporary storage between the stream
and the player. This allows Streamlink to download the stream
faster than the player which reads the data from the ringbuffer.

The smaller the size of the ringbuffer, the higher the chance of
the player buffering if the download speed decreases, and the
higher the size, the more data can be use as a storage to re-
cover from volatile download speeds.

Most players have their own additional cache and will read the
ringbuffer's content as soon as data is available. If the
player stops reading data while playback is paused, Streamlink
will continue to download the stream in the background as long
as the ringbuffer doesn't get full.

Default is: "16M".

NOTE:
A smaller size is recommended on lower end systems (such as
Raspberry Pi) when playing stream types that require some ex-
tra processing to avoid unnecessary background processing.

--stream-segment-attempts ATTEMPTS
How many attempts should be done to download each segment before
giving up.

This applies to all different kinds of segmented stream types,
such as DASH, HLS, etc.

Default is: 3.

--stream-segment-threads THREADS
The size of the thread pool used to download segments. Minimum
value is 1 and maximum is 10.

This applies to all different kinds of segmented stream types,
such as DASH, HLS, etc.

Default is: 1.

--stream-segment-timeout TIMEOUT
Segment connect and read timeout.

This applies to all different kinds of segmented stream types,
such as DASH, HLS, etc.

Default is: 10.0.

--stream-timeout TIMEOUT
Timeout for reading data from streams.

This applies to all different kinds of stream types, such as
DASH, HLS, HTTP, etc.

Default is: 60.0.

--mux-subtitles
Automatically mux available subtitles into the output stream.

Needs to be supported by the used plugin.

HLS options
--hls-live-edge SEGMENTS
Number of segments from the live stream's current live position
to begin streaming. The size or length of each segment is de-
termined by the streaming provider.

Lower values will decrease the latency, but will also increase
the chance of buffering, as there is less time for Streamlink to
download segments and write their data to the output buffer. The
number of parallel segment downloads can be set with
--stream-segment-threads and the HLS playlist reload time to
fetch and queue new segments can be overridden with
--hls-playlist-reload-time.

Default is: 3.

NOTE:
During live playback, the caching/buffering settings of the
used player will add additional latency. To adjust this,
please refer to the player's own documentation for the re-
quired configuration. Player parameters can be set via
--player-args.

--hls-segment-stream-data
Immediately write segment data into output buffer while down-
loading.

--hls-playlist-reload-attempts ATTEMPTS
Max number of attempts when reloading the HLS playlist before
giving up.

Default is: 3.

--hls-playlist-reload-time TIME
Set a custom HLS playlist reload time value, either in seconds
or by using one of the following keywords:

• segment: The duration of the last segment in the current
playlist

• live-edge: The sum of segment durations of the live edge value
minus one

• default: The playlist's target duration metadata

Default is: default.

--hls-segment-queue-threshold FACTOR
The multiplication factor of the HLS playlist's target duration
after which the stream will be stopped early if no new segments
were queued after refreshing the playlist (multiple times). The
target duration defines the maximum duration a single segment
can have, meaning new segments must be available during this
time frame, otherwise playback issues can occur.

The intention of this queue threshold is to be able to stop
early when the end of a stream doesn't get announced by the
server, so Streamlink doesn't have to wait until a read-timeout
occurs. See --stream-timeout.

Set to 0 to disable.

Default is: 3.

--hls-segment-ignore-names NAMES
A comma-delimited list of segment names that will get filtered
out.

Example: --hls-segment-ignore-names 000,001,002

This will ignore every segment that ends with 000.ts, 001.ts and
002.ts

Default is: None.

--hls-segment-key-uri URI
Override the segment encryption key URIs for encrypted streams.

The value can be templated using the following variables, which
will be replaced with their respective part from the source seg-
ment URI:

{url} {scheme} {netloc} {path} {query}

Examples:

--hls-segment-key-uri "https://example.com/hls/encryption_key"
--hls-segment-key-uri "{scheme}://1.2.3.4{path}{query}"
--hls-segment-key-uri "{scheme}://{netloc}/custom/path/to/key"

Default is: None.

--hls-audio-select CODE
Selects a specific audio source or sources, by language code or
name, when multiple audio sources are available. Can be * (as-
terisk) to download all audio sources.

Examples:

--hls-audio-select "English,German"
--hls-audio-select "en,de"
--hls-audio-select "*"

NOTE:
This is only useful in special circumstances where the regu-
lar locale option fails, such as when multiple sources of the
same language exists.

--hls-start-offset [[XX:]XX:]XX[.XX] | [XXh][XXm][XX[.XX]s]
Amount of time to skip from the beginning of the stream. For
live streams, this is a negative offset from the end of the
stream (rewind).

Default is: 0.

--hls-duration [[XX:]XX:]XX[.XX] | [XXh][XXm][XX[.XX]s]
Limit the playback duration, useful for watching segments of a
stream. The actual duration may be slightly longer, as it is
rounded to the nearest HLS segment.

Default is: unlimited.

--hls-live-restart
Skip to the beginning of a live stream, or as far back as possi-
ble.

DASH options
--dash-manifest-reload-attempts ATTEMPTS
Max number of attempts when reloading the DASH manifest before
giving up.

Default is: 3.

FFmpeg options
--ffmpeg-ffmpeg FILENAME
FFMPEG is used to access or mux separate video and audio
streams. You can specify the location of the ffmpeg executable
if it is not in your PATH.

Example: --ffmpeg-ffmpeg "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"

--ffmpeg-no-validation
Disable FFmpeg validation and version logging.

--ffmpeg-verbose
Write the console output from ffmpeg to the console.

--ffmpeg-verbose-path PATH
Path to write the output from the ffmpeg console.

--ffmpeg-fout OUTFORMAT
When muxing streams, set the output format to OUTFORMAT.

Default is: "matroska".

Example: --ffmpeg-fout "mpegts"

--ffmpeg-video-transcode CODEC
When muxing streams, transcode the video to CODEC.

Default is: "copy".

Example: --ffmpeg-video-transcode "h264"

--ffmpeg-audio-transcode CODEC
When muxing streams, transcode the audio to CODEC.

Default is: "copy".

Example: --ffmpeg-audio-transcode "aac"

--ffmpeg-copyts
Forces the -copyts ffmpeg option and does not remove the initial
start time offset value.

--ffmpeg-start-at-zero
Enable the -start_at_zero ffmpeg option when using
--ffmpeg-copyts.

HTTP options
--http-proxy HTTP_PROXY
A HTTP proxy to use for all HTTP and HTTPS requests, including
WebSocket connections.

Example: --http-proxy "http://hostname:port/"

--http-cookie KEY=VALUE
A cookie to add to each HTTP request.

Can be repeated to add multiple cookies.

--http-header KEY=VALUE
A header to add to each HTTP request.

Can be repeated to add multiple headers.

--http-query-param KEY=VALUE
A query parameter to add to each HTTP request.

Can be repeated to add multiple query parameters.

--http-ignore-env
Ignore HTTP settings set in the environment such as environment
variables (HTTP_PROXY, etc) or ~/.netrc authentication.

--http-no-ssl-verify
Don't attempt to verify SSL certificates.

Usually a bad idea, only use this if you know what you're doing.

--http-ssl-cert FILENAME
SSL certificate to use.

Expects a .pem file.

--http-ssl-cert-crt-key CRT_FILENAME KEY_FILENAME
SSL certificate to use.

Expects a .crt and a .key file.

--http-timeout TIMEOUT
General timeout used by all HTTP requests except the ones cov-
ered by other options.

Default is: 20.0.

Web browser options
--webbrowser {yes,true,1,on,no,false,0,off}
Enable or disable support for Streamlink's webbrowser API.

Streamlink's webbrowser API allows plugins which implement it to
launch a web browser and extract data from websites which they
otherwise couldn't do via the regular HTTP session in Python due
to specific JavaScript restrictions.

The web browser is run isolated and in a clean environment with-
out access to regular user data.

Streamlink currently only supports Chromium-based web browsers
using the Chrome Devtools Protocol (CDP). This includes
Chromium itself, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vivaldi,
and others, but full support for third party Chromium forks is
not guaranteed. If you encounter any issues, please try Chromium
or Google Chrome instead.

Default is: true.

--webbrowser-executable PATH
Path to the web browser's executable.

By default, it is looked up automatically according to the rules
of the used webbrowser API implementation. This usually in-
volves a list of known executable names and fallback paths on
all supported operating systems.

--webbrowser-timeout TIME
The maximum amount of time which the web browser can take to
launch and execute.

--webbrowser-cdp-host HOST
Host for the web browser's inter-process communication interface
(CDP specific).

Default is: 127.0.0.1.

--webbrowser-cdp-port PORT
Port for the web browser's inter-process communication interface
(CDP specific).

Tries to find a free port by default.

--webbrowser-cdp-timeout TIME
The maximum amount of time for waiting on a single CDP command
response.

--webbrowser-headless {yes,true,1,on,no,false,0,off}
Whether to launch the web browser in headless mode or not. When
enabled, it stays completely hidden and doesn't require a desk-
top environment to run.

Default is: true.

Twitch
--twitch-disable-ads
Skip embedded advertisement segments at the beginning or during
a stream. Will cause these segments to be missing from the out-
put.

--twitch-low-latency
Enables low latency streaming by prefetching HLS segments. Sets
--hls-segment-stream-data to true and --hls-live-edge to 2, if
it is higher. Reducing --hls-live-edge to 1 will result in the
lowest latency possible, but will most likely cause buffering.

In order to achieve true low latency streaming during playback,
the player's caching/buffering settings will need to be adjusted
and reduced to a value as low as possible, but still high enough
to not cause any buffering. This depends on the stream's bi-
trate and the quality of the connection to Twitch's servers.
Please refer to the player's own documentation for the required
configuration. Player parameters can be set via --player-args.

NOTE:
Low latency streams have to be enabled by the broadcasters on
Twitch themselves. Regular streams can cause buffering is-
sues with this option enabled due to the reduced
--hls-live-edge value.

--twitch-api-header KEY=VALUE
A header to add to each Twitch API HTTP request.

Can be repeated to add multiple headers.

Useful for adding authentication data that can prevent ads. See
the plugin-specific documentation for more information.

--twitch-access-token-param KEY=VALUE
