twitch-hls-client

WIP CLI Twitch HLS client. Currently only supports low latency and playlist proxies. Does not implement the entirety of HLS, only what is necessary for Twitch to work.

Options:
  -s, --server <URL>
          Server to fetch the master playlist from, if URL includes "[channel]" it will be replaced with the real channel at runtime
  -p, --player <PATH>
          Path to the player that the stream will be piped to, if not specified will write stream to stdout

          Arguments to pass to the player
