Can you link a guide to his to use the cookie command line argument. I'm a noob when it comes to command line stuff. And are you sure this let's you DL without subscribing to the Twitch channel?
I'm sorry, I misread your question. --cookies requires you to be logged in
Why not use TwitchNoSub in combination with Video DownloadHelper?
I always use the download helper to get the Video urls and then download them via yt-dlp
yeah i tried that but it finished downloading a 13 hour stream in like 2 mins and then it does;nt even wanna open, i even tried copying the link and dl with idm, pretty sure idm just dl a m3u8 file with index-dvr something. as for ytdlp, cmd line is too much for me but someone said ytldlp wont work for my requirements (dl sub only vod without subbing)
I used to run a script that recorded the stream while it was live using Streamlink and then i had the vod locally saved. Wont get you access to vods of past streams but the simplest solution for fresh streams.
thanks bro i will try it out coz twitch loves to mute a lot of segments... what is the script you used?
I made it myself, i'll see if i can dig it out. Are you on linux or windows?
windows, I am installing streamlink twitch gui as we speak...
