This is not a Streamlink Twitch GUI error message, this is a Streamlink error message. What you have posted here doesn't show any useful information though, so I can't tell you exactly what's going on.

You probably didn't update your Streamlink config file after upgrading Streamlink to 3.x on Windows:
#842

You're right! Actually I had already commented out "rtmp-rtmpdump=rtmpdump.exe".

But it turns out we have to comment out "rtmpdump=C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\rtmpdump\rtmpdump.exe" as well.

After that it started to work again!

However in the attempt to fix the issue I ended up uninstalling & removing all Streamlink Twitch Gui config, and lost the dark theme. =(

The dark theme was still active after upgrading to v2.0.0.

Doesn't Streamlink Twitch Gui have the option to choose a theme anymore?

Anyways, thx a lot for the cue! ^_^

lost the dark theme

Select it again in the main settings menu...
