hi
idk where place this, maybe here? my issue its this, i have tvheadend, on ubuntu, but streamlink can only get until 2.3 if you do sudo apt
then my option its install through pip
tvheadend get perfectly fine when its thought sudo apt install but because i cant get latest i need use pip method installation under this streamlink get installed in
/.local/bin/streamlink
when i try run on command line it works but when i try with pipe on tvheadend it don't work
example
pipe:///usr/bin/env ~/.local/bin/ streamlink --stdout --default-stream 720p --url https://www.earthcam.com/usa/louisiana/neworleans/bourbonstreet/?cam=catsmeow2
pipe:///usr/bin/env /.local/bin/streamlink --stdout --default-stream 720p --url https://www.earthcam.com/usa/louisiana/neworleans/bourbonstreet/?cam=catsmeow2
none of those work.
hi, @Toei79 .
my issue its this, i have tvheadend, on ubuntu, but streamlink can only get until 2.3 if you do sudo apt

installing streamlink via pip is actually the recommended way. that is the same method I use to install inside my docker containers, for example. (see tvhlink/tools/docker/streamlink_for_tvh_container.sh.)
tvheadend get perfectly fine when its thought sudo apt install but because i cant get latest i need use pip method installation under this streamlink get installed in
/.local/bin/streamlink
if you use pip without sudo permission (or the root user itself), then the package is installed under the .local dir of the user (i.e., /home/${USER}/.local/), which is not available to TVHeadend.
when i try run on command line it works but when i try with pipe on tvheadend it don't work
yeah, because your user can find /home/${USER}/.local/bin/streamlink but TVH won't find it, owing to permissions and $PATH.
to fix this, first uninstall stramlink for your user via pip. log into the machine using your user and then run the following:
pip uninstall streamlink
if you did not uninstall the apt version of streamlink, then now remove it as well:
sudo apt purge streamlink
now your own user and root should not be able to find streamlink at all. that is, the following commands
which streamlink
sudo which streamlink
should both return nothing.
then install streamlink globally via pip:
sudo pip install streamlink
and then check that which streamlink finds it outside your own user's home directory and check its version to make sure it is the latest (3.2.0):
streamlink --version
if everything looks good, go check to TVH, use the original pipe commands shown on the tutorial, and check that it works. here's an example of pipe command for the Al Jazeera (EN) Youtube live feed that TVH should try to run:
pipe:///usr/bin/env streamlink --stdout --hls-live-edge 6 --ringbuffer-size 32M -4 --default-stream 720p,best --url https://youtube.com/user/AlJazeeraEnglish
man amazing, i was all day try to figure out, i even install pip but yea you explain what happens, so like sudo make the magic all back to normal
i just like 4 months on linux, i tried before but never figure out all this time i keep with the same version 2.3 , but now i have the latests thanks
this time streamlink it be there with this installation
/usr/local/bin/streamlink
i read this yesterday so i never give the try just today hope be ok

I cannot. see https://streamlink.github.io/plugins.html#earthcam for information about restrictions though. for any other Streamlink related question, please direct them to the maintainers on the GIthub repo: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink
I'll go ahead and close this issue because it looks like the original one has been fixed. if you have other issues with the TVHlink integration, please open a new one.
