[cazz]

Hi
I have install omxplayer and also use youtube-dl to get the address.
When I run

Code: Select all

omxplayer -s -o local "<address>"

it start to stream but just for some second, after that is exit the omxplayer

Is it some easy way from terminal to show youtube streaming.

Try using youtube-dl with the "-f best" option to access the stream uri.

It's probably because it's a live stream and not a video.
Youtube-dl can't download a video which doesn't exists yet.

I'm the developer of info-beamer hosted, a digital signage system for the RPi. I've been playing around with live streaming recently and as it happens the url you want to stream is one that I also used for testing! The result is this live streaming package that you can install with a few clicks on a Pi running the info-beamer operating system. Even better: If your Pi is connected by HDMI to a TV with a remote, you can use its remote to switch between different channels that way. Under the hood, this uses streamlink to fetch the stream. Let me know if you have any questions.

TBOPlayer can do that in a very easy manner. Try it out. It can also find lyrics for your music tracks. https://github.com/KenT2/tboplayer
