# streamlink
> Extracts streams from various services and pipes them into a video player of choice.
> More information: <https://streamlink.github.io>.
- Attempt to extract streams from the URL specified, and if it's successful, print out a list of available streams to choose from:
`streamlink {{example.com/stream}}`
- Open a stream with the specified quality:
`streamlink {{example.com/stream}} {{720p60}}`
- Select the highest or lowest available quality:
`streamlink {{example.com/stream}} {{best|worst}}`
- Specify which player to use to feed stream data to (VLC is used by default if found):
`streamlink --player={{mpv}} {{example.com/stream}} {{best}}`
- Specify the amount of time to skip from the beginning of the stream. For live streams, this is a negative offset from the end of the stream (rewind):
`streamlink --hls-start-offset {{[HH:]MM:SS}} {{example.com/stream}} {{best}}`
- Skip to the beginning of a live stream, or as far back as possible:
`streamlink --hls-live-restart {{example.com/stream}} {{best}}`
- Write stream data to a file instead of playing it:
`streamlink --output {{path/to/file.ts}} {{example.com/stream}} {{best}}`
- Open the stream in the player, while at the same time writing it to a file:
`streamlink --record {{path/to/file.ts}} {{example.com/stream}} {{best}}`
