Livestream.com URL Not Working Anymore

[Spiral-King]

Livestream.com changed their UI for their player and I'm guessing something else under the hood because a link I used to download no longer works. The string I am using is as follows.

livestreamer "http://livestream.com/accounts/4099489/events/2120235" 720p_hls -o 01.ts

H:>livestreamer "http://livestream.com/accounts/4099489/events/2120235" 720p_hl
s -o 01.ts

You can try #1277

[Junior1544]

Yea, @intact is right... I use livestreamer with a livestream.com live stream all the time, and #1277 worked perfectly for me!

hls still doesn't work right, but the normal way works great for me and I use it on a raspberry pi...

Good luck!

Thanks for your feedback guy. I only use livestreamer to capture this one link. I'm not a programmer or coder so I don't know what do with what you linked you gave me. I went to this link from the link you sent me and copied the code to notepad and saved it as "livestream.py" and put it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Livestreamer\plugins". However it didn't seem to do a anything since I'm getting the same exact error as above.

You need this version

[scottbernstein-zz]

The problem is that on the Windows version of livestreamer you need to install the compiled version of livestream.py -- which will be titled "livestream.pyc".

Unfortunately since you say you are a non-programmer, this may be difficult for you, but this explains how to compile a .py file to a .pyc file:

Python automatically compiles your script to compiled code, so called byte code, before running it. When a module is imported for the first time, or when the source ...

If I had recompiled this module myself, I would offer to email it to you, but I haven't.

Poke me if you're still in trouble after giving an honest attempt at it and if you catch me in a good mood, I'll just do it for you and email it to you. [😊]

As a technical person, I don't need (or use) the livestreamer plugin, I just look at the source of the page and find the m3u8 URL myself. Regardless I've found that the livestream plugin cuts out when the file hits exactly 2GB. When I reported this as a bug, I was (correctly) told that actually the server just stops sending the stream after it hits 2GB, so it's not a bug in livestreamer. That said, if you use the HLS stream endpoint, the same problem doesn't occur. So I manually force it to use the HLS source.

Thanks for your feedback guys. I tried my best to understand what was being said in the link you sent me Scott but all the links on the page are dead! Scott, how do I private message you? I can give you my email.

[scottbernstein-zz]

@Spiral-King are you still stuck? If so, I will post a download link here for you.

[Spiral-King]

Yes I am. I was trying to private message or poke you but don't know how. Honestly I just created an account on here for this one issue. Thanks a lot of your help in advance. I can give you my email if you can tell me how to message you.

[scottbernstein-zz]

OK, please grab it from here as soon as you are able:

Also please let me know once you've grabbed it so I can remove [😊]

Okay I downloaded it. Thank you. However I'm not sure what directory I am suppose to put it in. I put it in every folder that has files ending in ".pyc" and I still get the same error. My default install directory is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Livestreamer". Only one directory asked me to overwrite and existing file with the same name and I hit "Yes'.

[scottbernstein-zz]

It goes in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\livestreamer\livestreamer-1.12.2-py2.7.egg\livestreamer\plugins

I put it in there and I still get this message. I really think it has to do with something Livestreamer.com changed.... Just guessing though.

[scottbernstein-zz]

I can confirm that I am seeing the same error on this particular stream with the updated version.

Thats old plugin, you need "new" version. :)

Delete livestream.pyc, livestream.py and download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intact/livestreamer/c653539e1cc2ac185916e7680aff33558feef5f7/src/livestreamer/plugins/livestream.py

[Spiral-King]

OMG it worked! Finally after 21 days! Thank you @intact so much! @scottbernstein also thank you for trying to help me out. None of you had to do this but you did and I'm very grateful for both of you! Thank you!
