+Common issues
+-------------
+**Issue:** livestreamer errors with "Unable to read from stream" or "Error while executing subprocess" on Twitch/JustinTV streams.
+
+**Solution:** When building rtmpdump from source it may link with a already existing (probably older) librtmp version instead of using it's own version. On Debian/Ubuntu it is recommended to use the official packages of *librtmp0* and *rtmpdump* version *2.4+20111222.git4e06e21*. This version contains the necessary code to use Twitch/JustinTV streams and avoids any conflicts. It should be available in the testing or unstable repositories if it's not available in stable yet.

Saving arguments AKA config file
--------------------------------
Livestreamer can read arguments from the file ~/.livestreamerrc (POSIX) or %APPDATA%\livestreamer\livestreamerrc (Windows).
