Well, this script didn't work for a Mac. So I modified it to be cross-platform and separate the quality from the URL.. The default URL was taken down by the copyright hunters. So I changed it to another music twitch.


No instructions were given on how to use the script... So here is some:

You need to first have OBS setup with Python support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7RhpvlVte0 should help with that.

If you want to do multiple streams, you need to have the script saved multiple times.

To use, create a new "Media Source" in a scene. Name it something, and save it. Then, under the Tools menu bar, select scripts. Then select streamlink-source.py, or whatever you save the script as. It will close the window, and then you will just need to open the scripts again. Fill out the fields, and select the media source that you created. Then hit the "Save and reload" button. It may take a few seconds before the source shows, depending on where you are streaming from.

Python:

After trying it on Windows, I needed to add another common path for 64bit streamlink

Python:
    common_paths = [
        "/usr/local/bin/streamlink",  # Common path on macOS and Linux
        "/usr/bin/streamlink",  # Another common path on Linux
        "C:\\Program Files\\Streamlink\\bin\\streamlink.exe",  # Common path on Windows
        "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Streamlink\\bin\\streamlink.exe",  # Common path on Windows
        "/opt/homebrew/bin/streamlink",  # Homebrew path on macOS
