• Alternate Player for Twitch.tv

  It's broken at the moment due to the update that killed the Alternate Player but Streamlink should be a good solution, it's active so it should be fixed soon and uses VLC or other compatible media players and Chatterino or Chatty for chat. Source: 11 months ago

• PSA on supporting streamers

  If you're okay with command-line interfaces, I find Streamlink is very good for this - I've never had to wait for any ad breaks when using it (but I almost never use it since I primarily use Twitch on mobile) so YMMV. Source: 11 months ago

  Here is a script for streamlink that will save Twitch streams. If you start it before the stream goes live it will keep checking until it starts. https://github.com/mrwnwttk/livestream_scripts. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ok so this might be a dumb way to troll the Panda Cup in protest, but hear me out

  If you'd like to watch but not add to their viewer count, you could watch using mpv or Streamlink. I'm pretty sure those won't count towards the viewer count as they're just "dumb" clients grabbing the video stream. As a bonus, no ads, except for the ones shown on stream. Source: over 1 year ago

• Using: Has() as a CSS Parent Selector and much more

  As someone who primarily uses Safari on an 8GB Mac mini, I've found there's two things which cause memory to spike. One is opening the developer tools. Have more than a couple tabs with the dev tools open and I can easily have Safari itself go over 8GB and I start to feel the thrashing when switching between apps and stuff. Two, for whatever reason, is streaming YouTube videos - not playing pre-recorded ones but... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• PSA: PlutoTV just added 242 episodes of Jeopardy as free VOD

  It turns out Streamlink works with Pluto VOD right out of the box (took me too long to realize this), so I poked around in Firefox to get the JSON containing info about all the available episodes, parsed it into episode URLs with C#, then fed those into a simple loop in PowerShell which is currently running on my machine to DL everything via Streamlink.

• Livestreamcheck: A CLI Tool to see who's streaming on Twitch

  Hey folks. I've been doing a fair bit of watching streams via Streamlink as of late and was always vaguely annoyed with having to go to the website anyway to see which of my followed channels was live. So out of low level spite I decided to get acquainted with APIs and churned out livestreamcheck to let me do it all from the terminal like the lord intended. Source: almost 2 years ago
