ttv-lol-pro VS streamlink

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.

Check this extension: https://github.com/younesaassila/ttv-lol-pro

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

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.
