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 This project was forked from Livestreamer, which is no longer maintained.

Review by on Jan 11, 2025 Version: 12 OS: Windows 10 Ease of use: 9/10 Functionality: 9/10 Value for money: 9/10 Overall: 8/10




Works perfectly for downloading from BBC iPlayer. If it had a GUI would be even better, but I'm very happy with it as it is. Documentation at https://streamlink.github.io/cli.html is clear.

On an iPlayer note: you don't need a TV licence number, just set up an account on the site; use a Mailinator e-mail address. You will need a UK IP address though! Don't know about doing this from abroad.

Example command:
streamlink --bbciplayer-username=YOURUSERNAME --bbciplayer-password=YOURPASSWORD --hls-live-restart -o C:\anyfolder\iplayerrip.mp4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000rgnx/all-the-presidents-men 720p

720p is the highest quality BBC iPlayer offers BTW. Pay no BBC poll tax!
