Can not stream youtube to --player-external-http-port #1404

Open limiteddi opened 8 years ago

limiteddi commented 8 years ago

Trying to use this: livestreamer -O https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnQLZHRE-Pk best --player-external-http-port 22222 so I can retrieve the stream via ffmpeg but all I get is a load of text as if video was in text format and ffmpeg isnt finding the stream on http://127.0.0.1:22222. Piping to ffmpeg doesnt work too as i get pipe error. Is there a better way to do this?
