Hi I did a check on this in an attempt to fix this but it seems that the API that the plugin is using is no longer returning enough information for the plugin to work. It is lacking all the streaming information. Probably in an attempt to block livestreamer or any form of non official website based streaming. Unfortunately I do not understand the plugin well enough to modify it such that it parse the website instead. I am trying to see if there is any other alternative.

[eloitay]

I do realise that there is an alternative api that still return the correct information. But the problem I think is it needs to get a key that expires every 5 minutes. http://www.douyutv.com/swf_api/room/{ROOMNUMBER}?cdn=&nofan=yes&_t=23792847&sign={SOMEKEYTHATEXPIREEVERY5MINUTES} I have not figure out what is with the t though.

Anyone familiar with updating of plugin, can drop me some hint on how exactly such problem can be tackled?

Your best bet is to decompile the SWF and look at the code.

Hi I have nearly a complete feature on what to call but I am just not sure how to actually write it properly in the plugin since the plugin have no documentation so pretty much I am guessing what can be done in there. Another question is how do I test my modification?

Sorry about that, you can look at the existing plugins to get an idea how it works. Bascially you have access to these APIs and the Python standard library.

Another question is how do I test my modification?

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python will get you started on Python development.

Hi I do understand the test that I have to run to see if the code breaks anything but whatever testing the fix that I created? I tried python main.py on cli to "run" it but that does not work. I believe I am not supposed to do that but I cannot figure out which is the correct method to do so.

[chrippa]

I'm not sure what main.py you're talking about, but I forgot to link these Livestreamer specific instructions which might be a bit clearer.

[eloitay]

Hi maybe I was not clear enough but I did follow those steps already. My problem being how do I run the cli part to do a test. Like when i normally use the application I do livestreamer douyutv.com/23142, and I encounter an error. So I did the steps in livestreamer specific instructions to actually get the latest base and test if it is actually fixed. If not I will start do modify the source to get it to work but lets assume I done the necessary change I require. How could I run the modified version?

[chrippa]

When you have the virtualenv activated it will use the code from the directory you ran python setup.py develop from.

[eloitay]

Ah that explain why. Thanks a lot for the help. I actually have problem with the virtual environment install so I skipped it thinking that it will just pollute my main Python environment but did not realize the impact. Thanks for solving the mystery.
