I've been using this format

livestreamer --twitch-auth-token (token) -o D:\folder\filename.mp4 --hls-segment-threads 4 VODURL best

I'm using Mac OSX and I have VLC installed. I'll show an image if that helps

flijloku commented 7 years ago

maybe "--twitch-oauth-token"?Or try replace plugin (https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/issues/1490#issuecomment-248632748) and then I think this parameter is not needed.

I'm using Mac OSX and I have VLC installed.

this type of path is for Windows only:

D:\folder\filename.mp4

for OSX you can use something like /Users/username/Documents/filename.mp4

Hey, thanks so much. I think the problem the path I was using and also the "oauth." Pretty dumb mistakes lol. So you both helped. Seems to be downloading now. Thanks again.
