v2.3

This version restores playback of streams of the RTL group. Apparently, those employ the widevine DRM technology. However, the non-DRM version is still available on other servers.

Let's see how long this lasts...

v2.2

The previous version stopped working because Teleboy changed their API key. This version uses the new key

v2.1

watchteleboy now comes with an intuitive terminal user interface (TUI) based on the urwid module. This new interface gives access to all available video qualities and audio languages. It also supports mouse control.

v2.0

watchteleboy was rewritten in Python. The overhaul was triggered by Teleboy's switch from Apple HLS to MPEG-DASH. The script still works with similar flags, but lacks (yet) a "pretty" interactive user interface.

v1.31

Update key of the Teleboy API. Older versions of watchteleboy don't work anymore.

v1.30

Fix login by adding referer to POST request (older versions now fail at login)

v1.29

Fix extraction of Teleboy user ID that broke due to website changes.

v1.28

added support for macOS / homenbrew

v1.27

fixed extracting of user id (Teleboy changed website layout)

v1.23

Updated URL for retrieving user environment data. Older version of this script do not work anymore due to changes in the Teleboy service.
