streamlink-plugin-kick VS streamlink

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

Unfortunately, streamlink doesn't support kick by default so we will need to use a plugin which can be downloaded here. From that github please download kick.py and place it in

Copy the kick.py file into one of the the sideload directories

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/

A summary of my use case: I like to watch Twitch streams via streamlink.

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.
