Watch videos from vlive.tv in mpv.

DEPRECATED

Moving steps:

• Merge HLS WebVTT patches to FFmpeg
• Implement vlive subtitles info parsing in youtube-dl
• Create streamlink vlive plugin

See mpv-player/mpv#3087 for more info.

Why

• FFmpeg's HLS handler is slow
• mpv currently uses FFmpeg to display HLS
• youtube-dl currently uses FFmpeg to dump HLS
• Livestreamer's maintainer is inactive
• WebVTT HLS patches for FFmpeg are stalled

Install

sudo apt-get install youtube-dl livestreamer
git clone https://github.com/Kagami/mpv_vlive.git ~/mpv_vlive
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin ~/.config/mpv/scripts
ln -s ~/mpv_vlive/vlive ~/.local/bin
ln -s ~/mpv_vlive/dump_vlive ~/.local/bin
ln -s ~/mpv_vlive/vlive.lua ~/.config/mpv/scripts

Usage

# Watch

# Dump
