NOTE: Due to new regulation, Douyin.com has removed many online game live broadcasting categories on April 16, 2022.

To install:

You must have installed Go first.

go install -v github.com/caiguanhao/dylive/dylive@latest

Also install mpv to play live stream.

Works on macOS, Linux or Windows.

Preview:

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

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

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

See mpv's options.

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"
