VideoAdBlockForTwitch VS streamlink

***It keeps getting more complicated. https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions#twitchadsolutions Requires some reading. Please block them, they are goddamn horrible, ask questions if you need help. This one is my personal recommendation if you just want something to install: https://github.com/saucettv/VideoAdBlockForTwitch

Not to mention the git hub project https://github.com/saucettv/VideoAdBlockForTwitch has gone 404, in other words its no longer open source.

Original source is empty https://github.com/saucettv/VideoAdBlockForTwitch

https://github.com/saucettv/VideoAdBlockForTwitch works well

VideoAdBlockForTwitch has been working decently well for me. It seems like Amazon got tired of playing cat-and-mouse games with various increasingly insane ad blocking schemes, so this 480p trick might actually stick.

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.
