Purple-adblock VS streamlink

Purple Ads Blocker works fine for me on firefox.

Cause of twitch using a funky way to show ads on it site that ublock can't seem to detect i use Purple-adblock to block ads from twitch. it's actively maintained and works like a charm every time for me

Apparently, i have problems with that version and installed the 2.5.0.9 with tampermonkey extension. You have to refresh the page and not reseting the player. Works fine, having no issues atm.

I've used Purple Adblock from pixeltris' TwitchAdSolutions for months and haven't had a single purple screen/ad since Twitch started this bullshittery. Though, I can't speak for Chrome, I'm a Firefox user.

use Purple adblock, no compromise of switching to low quality during ads

It doesn't look like Streamlink is immune to the challenges of Twitch ads: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4949

i can't quite tell what you're asking for but check out https://streamlink.github.io/

Take a look at this: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/

Streamlink != Steam Link

alternatively, you can use streamlink to stream the video and let it open vlc for you.

A summary of my use case: I like to watch Twitch streams via streamlink. For that purpose I use wtwitch, a terminal program which allows me to maintain a list of my favourite channels without a Twitch account, check which of those streamers are currently online and run a command to open their streams via streamlink.

Streamlink has very detailed and newbie friendly documentation. Here's the plugin you'd need to scrape Kick links.

I believe yt-dlp works and merges everything already for you. I use streamlink https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink for most of twitch stuff and all you have to do is pass in the vod url

Next you will need streamlink, again in the same powershell instance type.
