Streamlink Twitch plugin modified to work with the TTV.LOL API. This proxies the playlist request to a country where Twitch does not serve ads. Note that TTV.LOL-like APIs can still rarely return a playlist with ads, if this happens you'll need to restart streamlink to get a different playlist or switch between proxies.
Not compatible with TTV-LOL-PRO v2 proxies.
Follow the instructions below for your specific operating system.
If you wish to install manually, you can get the latest release here. (If you're not using git Streamlink please try the twitch.py from the releases page first. The twitch.py from the master branch tracks Streamlink master and may break on stable Streamlink releases.)
After installation you will need to point Streamlink at a playlist proxy server with plugin arguments.

streamlink-ttvlol adds the following plugin arguments:
--twitch-proxy-playlist
Proxy playlist request through a server that supports the TTV.LOL API (or a server that doesn't with a custom URL, see here). It can also be pointed at multiple comma separated servers which will try each server in order until successful.
Example:
--twitch-proxy-playlist=https://eu.luminous.dev,https://lb-eu.cdn-perfprod.com
--twitch-proxy-playlist-exclude
Can be used to exclude channels from being proxied (eg. you're subscribed to the channel and want to use your OAuth token to avoid ads instead)
Example:
--twitch-proxy-playlist-exclude=forsen,twitch,twitchgaming
--twitch-proxy-playlist-fallback
Enable if Streamlink should fallback to Twitch servers if all requests to playlist proxies fail.

If you're using streamlink-twitch-gui then you'll need to check the "Enable advanced settings and features" box on the Main tab in settings. You can then add the above argument of your choosing to the "Custom parameters" box on the Streaming tab.
If you're using Chatterino with Streamlink you'll need to add the above argument of your choosing to Settings -> External Tools -> Streamlink -> Additional options.
