streamglob facilitates live and time-shifted viewing of online content.

The current focus of this project is to provide a consistent console-based user experience for browsing and watching live and on-demand streaming content from various providers. The project was originally released under the name mlbstreamer with support for watching MLB.tv streams, but has expanded to include modules for watching video from NHL.tv, YouTube, Instagram, and RSS feeds, among others.

Right now, the install process is a bit complicated due to some upstream dependencies that need to be updated. Furthermore, Python 3.6 is the minimum supported version at this time.

If you're running Python 3.6+ the following should work:

$ git clone https://github.com/tonycpsu/streamglob
$ cd streamglob
$ pip install .
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/streamglob
$ cp docs/config.yaml.sample ~/.config/streamglob/config.yaml
$ vim ~/.config/streamglob/config.yaml

You should then be able to edit ~/.config/streamglob/config.yaml with your MLB.tv/NHL.tv credentials, then run streamglob.

Example of playing a single MLB game from the command-line:

$ streamglob mlb/2019-03-25.phi

Run with -v if you run into issues.

A sample configuration file is available in doc/config.yaml.sample. Copy it to ~/.config/streamglob/config.yaml and modify it as needed. A more novice-friendly configuration mechanism is under development.

Usage documentation to follow.

Tony Cebzanov ([email protected]) is the primary author and maintainer of streamglob, but significant contributions have been made by others, as detailed here.

streamglob is a successor to mlbstreamer, which was in turn modeled after the mlbviewer project developed by Matthew (daftcat) of the LinuxQuestions forums.
