Streamlink is unable to get an access token for watching streams

bastimeyer opened this issue · 0 comments

Twitch has guarded its API against bots, so Streamlink currently can't retrieve any access tokens for watching streams.
streamlink/streamlink#5370

Temporary workaround

Use the Twitch API Client-ID of the Nintendo Switch:
--twitch-api-header=Client-ID=ue6666qo983tsx6so1t0vnawi233wa

Set this in the custom parameters field in the streaming settings menu after enabling advanced settings.

Or add the parameter to your Streamlink config file
