streamlink: Open the stream in the player, while at the same time writing it to a file.
$ streamlink --record ${filename-ts} ${example-com-stream} ${best}
try on your machine

This command is using the Streamlink application to record a streaming video from the "example.com" website. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • streamlink: This is the command to run the Streamlink application.
  • --record: This is an option for Streamlink to indicate that you want to record the video stream.
  • ${filename-ts}: This is a variable that represents the desired filename for the recorded video. In this case, it seems to be using a placeholder "filename-ts" that should be replaced with the actual desired filename.
  • ${example-com-stream}: This is another variable that represents the URL or name of the specific video stream you want to record from the "example.com" website. It also appears to be a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual URL or stream name.
  • ${best}: This is a variable that represents the quality of the video stream you want to record. It is likely a placeholder that should be replaced with a specific quality option (e.g., "low", "medium", "high") or left as "best" to record the best available quality.

To use this command, you need to replace the placeholders ("filename-ts" and "example-com-stream") with the actual desired filename and the URL or stream name of the video you want to record.
