Public bug reported: I use livestreamer and mpv to watch streaming content on Twitch. The stream is very slow to start and takes at least thirty seconds until the video plays.
I have included the terminal output from livestreamer, but the problem also happens when when opening a http stream with mpv by itself. $ livestreamer -vp "mpv --cache=1024" twitch.tv/scglive low [cli][info] Found matching plugin twitch for URL twitch.tv/scglive [cli][info] Available streams: audio, high, low, medium, mobile (worst), source (best) [cli][info] Opening stream: low (hls) [cli][info] Starting player: mpv --cache=1024 Playing: - [file] Reading from stdin...
