Package "python-livestreamer"

This package belongs to a PPA: GetDeb Apps

Name: python-livestreamer

Description:

CLI for piping video streams to video players
Livestreamer is a Command Line Interface that pipes video
streams from various services into a video player,
such as VLC.
The main purpose of Livestreamer is to allow the user to
avoid buggy and CPU heavy flash plugins but still be able
to enjoy various streamed content.
Livestreamer is built upon a plugin system which allows
support for new services to be easily added.

Currently most of the big streaming services are
supported, e.g. Dailymotion, Livestream, Twitch,
Justin.tv, YouTube Live and Ustream.
For more in-depth usage see the full documentation
available at http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/.

Changelog

Version: 1.7.0-1~getdeb1 2013-11-08 23:08:10 UTC

livestreamer (1.7.0-1~getdeb1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    CLI:
     - Added a ``--player-no-close`` option.
     - Added options to use HTTP proxies with ``--http-proxy`` and
     ``--https-proxy``.
     - It's now possible to specify multiple streams as a comma-separated
       list. If a stream is not available the next one in the list will be
       tried.
     - Now only resolves synonyms once when using
     ``--player-continuous-http``.
     - Removed the ``-u`` shortcut for ``--plugins``. This is a response to
     someone
       spreading the misinformation that ``-url`` is a sane parameter to use.
       It's technically valid, but due to the ``-u`` shortcut it would be
       interpreted by Python's argparse as ``--plugins --rtmpdump l`` which
       would cause livestreamer to look for a non-existing rtmpdump
       executable,
       thus disabling any RTMP streams. (#193)

    Plugins:
     - Added Afreeca.tv plugin.
     - dailymotion: Fixed incorrect RTMP parameters. (#201)
     - filmon: Updated after service changes. Patch by Athanasios Oikonomou.
     (#205)
     - ilive: Updated after service changes. (#200)
     - livestream: Added support for HLS streams.
     - livestream: Updated after service changes. (#195)
     - mips: Updated after service changes. (#200)
     - svtplay: Fixed some broken HDS streams. (#200)
     - twitch: Updated to use the new HLS API.
     - weeb: Updated after service changes. Patch by Athanasios Oikonomou.
     (#207)
     - youtube: Now handles 3D streams properly. (#202)

    Stream:
     - hds: Added support for global bootstraps.
     - hls: Rewrote the playlist parser from scratch to be more solid and
     correct
       in accordance to the latest M3U8 spec.
     - hls: Now supports playlists using EXT-X-BYTERANGE.
     - hls: Now supports playlists using multiple EXT-X-KEY tags.
     - hls: Now accepts extra requests parameters to be used when doing
       HTTP requests.

    Bug fixes:
     - Fixed bytes-serialization when using ``--json``.

livestreamer (1.6.0-1~getdeb1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version

         - Added some more player options: ``--player-args``,
         ``--player-http``,
           ``--player-continuous-http`` and ``--player-passthrough``. (#131)
         - Expanded ``--stream-sorting-excludes`` to support more advanced
           filtering. (#159)
         - Now notifies the user if a new version of Livestreamer is
         available.
         - Now allows case-insensitive stream name lookup.

        API:
         - Added a new exception (``LivestreamerError``) that all other
         exceptions
           inherit from.
         - The ``sorting_excludes`` parameter in ``Plugin.get_streams``
           now supports more advanced filtering. (#159)

        Bug fixes:
         - Fixed HTTPStream with headers breaking ``--json`` on Python 3.
