The celebratory release of Streamlink 1.0.0!

A lot of hard work has gone into getting Streamlink to where it is. Not only is Streamlink used across multiple applications and platforms, but companies as well.

Since then, We've hit multiple milestones:

  • Over 886 PRs
  • Hit 3,000 commits in Streamlink
  • Obtaining our first sponsors as well as backers of the project
  • The creation of our own logo (streamlink#1123)

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to Streamlink (and our backers)! Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today.

  • User agents for API communication have been updated (streamlink#2194)
  • Special synonyms have been added to sort "best" and "worst" streams (streamlink#2127). For example: streamlink --stream-sorting-excludes '>=480p' URL best,best-unfiltered
  • Process output will no longer show if tty is unavailable (streamlink#2090)
  • We've removed BountySource in favour of our OpenCollective page. If you have any features you'd like to request, please open up an issue with the request and possibly consider backing us!
  • Improved terminal progress display for wide characters (streamlink#2032)
  • Fixed a bug with dynamic playlists on playback (streamlink#2096)

  • Old Livestreamer deprecations and API references were removed (streamlink#1987)
  • Dependencies have been updated for Python (streamlink#1975)
  • Newer and more common User-Agents are now used (streamlink#1974)
  • DASH stream bitrates now round-up to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, etc. (streamlink#1995)
  • Updated documentation on issue templates (streamlink#1996)
  • URL have been added for better processing of HTML tags (streamlink#1675)
  • Fixed sort and prog issue (streamlink#1964)
  • Reformatted issue templates (streamlink#1966)
  • Fixed crashing bug with player-continuous-http option (streamlink#2234)
  • Make sure all dev dependencies (streamlink#2235)
  • -r parameter has been replaced for --rtmp-rtmpdump (streamlink#2152)

Breaking changes:

  • A large number of unmaintained or NSFW plugins have been removed. You can find the PR that implemented that change here: streamlink#2003 . See our CONTRIBUTING.md documentation for plugin policy.
