VLC does not run as root.
What must I do to fix this problem? when I install and do everything according to this guide. http://powernap.github.io/blog/2013/12/07/watch-twitch-using-vlc-in-osx/ and when i type in the commands I get "command not found" http://pastebin.com/y0vebh0e I have no idea what else i should do. am not very experienced with code :/
Does running python /usr/local/bin/livestreamer
work?
When i put that in I get permission denied. http://pastebin.com/AiwAFvjE
Looks like you don't have permission to read the file, does running chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/livestreamer
help?
Same thing, permission denied :/ http://pastebin.com/bCg2DTJT I have admin rights on my laptop and I am the only account.
Sorry, I meant sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/livestreamer
.
Nothing happened http://pastebin.com/DARP2PNM
That means the command was successful, did it not help?
Still shows command not found when putting in livestreamer twitchchannel Quality
Yes, that's because you're missing /usr/local/bin
in your $PATH
it seems. Does python /usr/local/bin/livestreamer
still give permission denied?
Yeah permission denied
That's odd, I'm not very knowledgeable about OS X, but I guess it's possible something went wrong with the install. Since OS X comes with easy_install
installed by default this should be the simplet way to install Livestreamer:
sudo easy_install livestreamer`
If that doesn't work, try installing with pip (another package manager for Python):
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install --upgrade livestreamer
Well i installed it fine. I just cant run it. I have to use root to run but VLC doesnt play on root saldy
I guess you could try installing with pip's user mode instead, it should be impossible to run into permission issues then:
sudo easy_install pip # install pip
sudo pip uninstall livestreamer # uninstall the globally installed livestreamer first
pip install --user livestreamer
Somewhere in the output it should say something like Installing livestreamer script to <path>
. Copy that directory path and then then run livestreamer with:
python <path>/livestreamer
It says in the end "pip command not found"
Ah, right, you'll need to use /usr/local/bin/pip
for the pip commands.
So what do I put in the command now? putting just that in gives me no permission.
There seems to something on your system preventing users to access files in /usr/local/bin properly. I'm not very familiar with OS X, but is it possible you have some special security features enabled?
The last idea I have is to simply reinstall Python via homebrew, see this guide: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install/osx/ and then reinstalling Livestreamer.
If that doesn't help you I'm afraid I can't help you any further.
Alright so installing python with xCode helped. I was able to install and all that but after finding out the path of the install I tried to use that and it said no directory. http://pastebin.com/y7ZpaAr1
Sadly I wasnet able to go further with that...Damn, well I am happy you tried to assist me in my big problem. I really appreciate the help! I think I will either give it up all together or reinstall OSX.
Alright wanted to report for the last time that i got it to work. I just said "screw it" and reinstalled OS X and it worked right away after doing "Sudo easy_install livestreamer" and after that "livestreamer TWITCH URL quality" So thanks for the help earlier!! :) Now must find a way to get twitch chat to be in an individual window.

You can do this by opening twitch.tv/CHANNELNAME/chat?popout in your browser
Just a heads up I had this issue and did these two things to fix it instead of reinstalling OSx
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin Also, your permission modes are off—ideally /usr/local/bin should be accessible by others too:
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/bin
if you are using windows, try those step. I have same problem and solved . Hope this help.
When I put in the commands that I need to get it to run everything it says that the player failed to start. http://pastebin.com/GG6rRg5m
