"All In One streams" (aiostreams) is a pack of scripts, written in Python, 
that can be used to stream and watch videos from different online networks,
like Twitch.tv, YouTube and Vimeo.com.

All the scripts need to be used from the shell, as well as from any web 
browser that supports the execution of scripts. It is really easy to 
configure a link context menu and open the URL with the script. And if 
"Autoplay" is enabled, then the video will start automatically using the 
configured default players.

Some of these networks have a search API, and you can use them to find 
available streams and videos, without the need to visit the website. 
This is a fast way to find what you want, without waiting huge amount of 
Javascript to be executed on your machine. Especially useful when your 
computer doesn't have the necessary horsepower to support those websites.

All the scripts are developed and fully tested under AmigaOS 4.1 FE and 
MorphOS 3.x. The scripts work just fine under Linux and macOS X, but 
those systems are not the target of this project. Other solutions do a 
better job.

Supported networks:
* Twitch.tv
* YouTube.com
* Vimeo.com
* Dailymotion.com
* Wasd.tv
* Peertube

Requirements:
* Python 2.5
* Pythonssl
* The Python modules: urllib, urllib2, sys, re, string, random. Usually they
  are part of the python Installation
* ffplay, mplayer, emotion for the live and recorded video playback or
  something equivalent
* internet access
