Livestreamer is dead, streamlink is the new livestreamer.--- pkg/DESCR: Streamlink is a command-line utility that pipes video streams from various services into a video player, such as VLC. The main purpose of Streamlink is to allow the user to avoid buggy and CPU heavy flash plugins but still be able to enjoy various streamed content. There is also an API available for developers who want access to the video stream data. This project was forked from Livestreamer, which is no longer maintained. Streamlink is built upon a plugin system which allows support for new services to be easily added. Currently most of the big streaming services are supported, such as: * Dailymotion * Livestream * Twitch * UStream * YouTube Live and many more. ---This requires devel/py-iso3166 and devel/py-iso639 that were just committed.I looked to see if it would be a simple diff to make multimedia/livestreamer-curses work with streamlink. Someone appears to have done the work but it looks like major surgery (and livestreamer-curses might also be dead upstream) so I think it's better to remove it.I think it makes sense for anyone who has livestreamer installed on their system to get upgraded to streamlink.I'm watching a Twitch.tv stream on my laptop as I write this email, so it definitely works.OK? ~BrianPing. Watching SGDQ on my laptop as I write this, so it's still good.(In any event, we should remove livestreamer, as it no longer supports all streaming services it claims to and will only support fewer and fewer as time goes on.)
Anyone? The new dependencies have been committed already. Reattached. ~Brian
