streamglob
streamglob facilitates live and time-shifted viewing of online content.
The current focus of this project is to provide a consistent console-based user
experience for browsing and watching live and on-demand streaming content from
various providers. The project was originally released under the name
mlbstreamer with support for watching MLB.tv streams, but has expanded to
include modules for watching video from NHL.tv, YouTube, Instagram, and RSS
feeds, among others.
Installation
Right now, the install process is a bit complicated due to some upstream dependencies that need to be updated. Furthermore, Python 3.7 is the minimum supported version at this time.
If you're running Python 3.7 the following should work:
$ git clone https://github.com/tonycpsu/streamglob
$ cd streamglob
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install .
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/streamglob
$ cp doc/config.yaml.sample ~/.config/streamglob/config.yaml
$ vim ~/.config/streamglob/config.yaml
You should then be able to edit ~/.config/streamglob/config.yaml with your
MLB.tv/NHL.tv credentials, then run streamglob.
Example of playing a single MLB game from the command-line:
$ streamglob mlb/2019-03-25.phi
Run with -v if you run into issues.
Configuration
A sample configuration file is available in doc/config.yaml.sample. Copy it to
~/.config/streamglob/config.yaml and modify it as needed. A more
novice-friendly configuration mechanism is under development.
Using streamglob
Usage documentation to follow.
Credits
Tony Cebzanov (tonycpsu@gmail.com) is the primary author and maintainer of
streamglob, but significant contributions have been made by others, as
detailed here.
streamglob is a successor to
mlbstreamer, which was in turn
modeled after the mlbviewer project developed by Matthew (daftcat) of the
LinuxQuestions forums.
