streamlink VS ttv-lol-pro

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.

This is why people are getting super cheap virtual machines in Russia now and setting up a Squid proxy server and using it to proxy Twitch.tv though and get no ads.

ttv-lol-pro does this and works pretty well. It is recommended to use this in combination with ublock origin.

Just use TTV LOL Pro. You have to install it manually but it works perfectly, no ads ever. https://github.com/younesaassila/ttv-lol-pro . There are instructions at the bottom
