Usage

Video player

By default, dylive uses mpv. If mpv does not exist, IINA and then VLC will be used. If you have installed video player in a different location, set the PLAYER environment variable.

# use different video player command
PLAYER=ffplay dylive

# specify full path
PLAYER=/Applications/IINA.app/Contents/MacOS/iina-cli dylive

# also works for iPhone video player on Apple Silicon Macs
PLAYER=/Applications/OPlayer\ Lite.app dylive

Video player arguments

You can add extra video player command arguments after dylive like this:

# mute first when starting mpv
dylive -- --mute=yes

See mpv's options.

Record while playing

Use mpv's --stream-record option to save live stream to file.

You can use template in player arguments.

List of variables that can be used in template: - Room info (which can be obtained with Ctrl-E) - Index number of room ({{.Index}} or {{.Nth}}) - Number of rooms ({{.Total}}) - Current date/time ({{.Now}}), its format can be changed with TIME_FORMAT environment variable.

# assume you have mpv command in your PATH
dylive -- --stream-record={{.User.Name}}.mp4

# for Windows, you may need to add quotes
dylive -- --no-border "--stream-record={{.User.Name}}-{{.Now}}.mp4"
