Discussion: Streamlink : A stream viewer that may help your lag! posted in SCG General

**EDIT: This originally described a program called LiveStreamer, Streamlink is a fork of that project as the original hasn't been updated in two years. Thank you to GreenDragonIris for pointing this out to me!

What is Streamlink?

The main purpose of Streamlink is to allow the user to avoid buggy and CPU heavy flash plugins but still be able to enjoy various streamed content.

Ever want to take part in an SCG stream but find you're having difficulties? Check out the Streamlink tool!

1. Install the tool

https://streamlink.github.io/install.html

You're most likely looking for the windows version, so you can download a pre-compiled version here : https://streamlink.github.io/install.html#windows-binaries

2. Install VLC (Or other video player equivalent)

https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

You need a video player in order to run Streamlink, VLC is the recommended option!

3. With all this setup, open up your command prompt and toss it in!

Start->Run->Cmd
Windows Key + R -> cmd.exe
streamlink http://www.ustream.tv/channel/xcC5XSDuurq

Ex. The SCG Stream link

You can read up more on what you can do with Streamlink with the following link : https://streamlink.github.io/cli.html
