I get an error when i try to watch the stream from riotgames. help pls?

skulblakka commented 8 years ago

First of all please try to be a little bit more specific. What error are you getting?

Also: twitch.tv/riotgames is offline right now and is hosting nalcs1. In case you want to watch the hosted channel you have to enter their URL (in this case https://www.twitch.tv/nalcs1)

Yeah, sorry. I tried to get the error message with screenshot but it dissapears too fast, is there a folder with error messages?

Anyway if I go twitch.tv/riotgames on my web browser the stream starts normally but its like you said, their current stream is /nalcs1. The problem is i didnt know that since when I go to www.twitch/riotgames the stream works like normal. So when i run livestreamer with /nalcs1 it works. Thanks for the help

Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe) and type

C:\path\to\your\> livestreamer.exe twitch.tv/riotgames source

It stream is offline, in this case RiotGames, livestreamer process will terminate. If you want to see the error, you need to start command prompt and start livestreamer there.
