streamlink

$ streamlink --hls-live-restart ${example-com-stream} ${best}

try on your machine

This is a command using the Streamlink tool with several options. Let's break it down:

streamlink: This is the command to execute the Streamlink tool, which allows users to watch and save streams from various online platforms.
--hls-live-restart: This option enables the HLS live stream restart functionality. HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) is a streaming protocol used to deliver live and on-demand media content online.
${example-com-stream}: This is a placeholder for the URL of the stream you want to access. You should replace ${example-com-stream} with the actual URL of the stream you wish to watch or save.
${best}: This is a placeholder for the stream quality. Streamlink provides different options for stream quality, such as best, worst, or specific values like 720p or 480p. You should replace ${best} with the desired stream quality value.

To use this command, you would replace ${example-com-stream} with the actual stream URL you want to access and ${best} with your preferred stream quality. For example:

streamlink --hls-live-restart https://www.example.com/stream/online-stream.m3u8 best

This command would launch Streamlink with the HLS live stream restart functionality to watch or save the stream at the best available quality from the provided URL.
