Is there an updated host file?

Thanks. I saw that and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm getting ERROR: Streamlink failed.

Oh, wait. I see the error could be my VLC player

My comment on the other thread:

@cbunyked Based on the error, it doesn't appear you have VLC in your PATH. Are you on windows or linux? On windows, it should be something like C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC for vlc and C:\Users\{{your user}}\AppData\Local\Streamlink\bin for streamlink (also needed installed and in path).

And if you're on linux, doubt I have to point you in the right direction there ;)

Hmm. No luck. Still getting the same error. Basically, I created a symlink of vlc and streamlink on /usr/local/bin which is declared on my zshrc. I'm on MacOS Big Sur.

Ended up installing VLC via Homebrew. For some reason installing the app from the site and linking it on my path didn't like it. I'm good to go now. Thanks for this : )
