mlbv VS streamlink

If you subscribe to MLB.TV, there are command line tools like mlbv that will let you sign in and download the game as a video file. You can do it anytime with the archive game for the rest of the season, so you don’t have to worry about recording it live. https://github.com/kmac/mlbv

Guys, my weird linux mlb.tv setup that lets me watch (my legal paid subscription) in whatever media player I want (I use mpv) isn't working today because of the weird resumed game thing. Now I have to watch on the mlb website and it's fucking awful.

Usually I'd recommend Kodi but that's obviously not an option on Roku. If you really want to watch on Roku but avoid the MLB app right now, you could run a Python program like mlbv to download the game to a network share or stream it to a port: https://github.com/kmac/mlbv/issues/22#issuecomment-425649277

There's a Python program called mlbv that should allow you to log in and access older games: https://github.com/kmac/mlbv

Or a tool like mlbv which lets you download archive games, so you can watch them in any media player on your network: https://github.com/kmac/mlbv

Also, if you are on a PC, you could install Kodi and the unofficial MLB.TV addon to get the ad-free streams that way. There are also utilities like mlbv (https://github.com/kmac/mlbv) which can download games to a file and/or play them through VLC.

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.
