livestreamer worked first try, woot

since livestreamer just works from my config last summer what are the perks with switching to stream link? I like to watch things through Media Player Classic becauseI'm an old piece of poo poo who still uses winamp and saves 320kbps MP3s and violent fetish porn locally still.

There's probably none. IIRC livestreamer can't get the stream link from the base URL anymore, so it just gives up and dies but if you have it all worked out there's probably no reason to switch.

It's not as much "switching" as it is "updating", since Streamlink is literally a more developed fork of Livestreamer with a different name.

I think PJ's Lagoon run is probably one of the best, if not THE best GDQ run I've seen. It's got everything you want, PJ, a hilarious, broken game and a great couch & commentary.

Also wish more people were around to see Might & Magic VI live from last SGDQ, since it was run early morning EU time. It's also where the various



reaction shots are from. If you didn't, you still have time.

So what are the advantages of Streamlink whatever? I'm an old man and installing things is hard with the configuarations and the clernifications, so I'm probably just going to watch on Twitch unless someone convinces me to do effort.

It gets around twitch ads
You can use your own media player so:
It creates a nice border less window in the corner of your screen
It takes way fewer resources to run vs. the bloated twitch thing
It doesn't load the chat applet

LTTP Rando needs a donation incentive to free the cucco under the pot in Kakariko village. I always do that in my runs because it just isn't right not to.

Don't you realize that being nice just makes you get hurt?
I really wanted to watch the Hollowknight run, and I may watch the beginning of it. Was trying to finish my first run of it before the event to prevent spoilers, but I’m a bit short being a completionist! Really really awesome game. I sometimes just leave it up idle for the soundtrack, which I definitely need to purchase when I finish it.

I’ll be working all week long, but absolutely will be watching and posting when I shouldn’t be. Almost start time...!

guys I just cannot overstate how hype the Bloodborne All Bosses run is going to be. Please watch it. It will completely remove the stench of that dumb rear end in a top hat who was bad at the game a couple years ago who did any% by cheating his stats all the way up and facehugged all the bosses. sigh.

"All Bosses" is an insanely hype route and it includes the DLC bosses and the routing is super fun. Bloodborne is also a masterpiece and this is the run it deserves .....

Streamlink Twitch GUI real easy to set up, no need for command line type stuff but a nifty GUI like the name says. Set up your preferred video player (I use VLC) and you can launch the stream with source quality with a few clicks in the player window. I tend to transfer it to my 2nd monitor and chatpost on my other one. Also it works a lot more stable than the Twitch player.
