documentation VS streamlink

youtube: https://docs.invidious.io/

Invidious, it's privacy front-end to youtube (open-source ofc). Check which instance fits you: https://github.com/iv-org/documentation/blob/master/Invidious-Instances.md

In some countries that are not modern, developed liberal democracies and don't have guaranteed civil liberties, the right of free speech, and privacy laws, government authorities might investigate and prosecute users connecting to the types of sites you mentioned and other types of sites if the government has outlawed or blocked them e.g., BBC News, SkyNews, YouTube, etc., which is exactly why users in such countries use Tor to connect to clearnet and legitimate onion sites — to circumvent blocking and evade detection and prosecution (note: some users of Tor in any type of country predictably might choose an Invidious Instance to watch online videos.)

Use Tor Browser to preserve your online anonymity and privacy and to evade tracking by Facebook, Google, and other legal or illegal trackers. Invidious example: in list, connect to any link, e.g, this link. In the search bar, enter Queen of England and press . Take you pick of videos about Queen of England across multiple pages. No tracking. No ads. Privacy.

Hi. You might want to check Invidious’ FAQ. It answers your question (spoiler: no). Next time, you might want to refer to a project's documentation before asking Reddit to do this for you. ;)

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.
