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). -- cgit v1.2.3
