<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Streamlink also allows passing the resolved stream URL through to the player as its first launch argument
when using the <a class="reference internal" href="cli.html#cmdoption-player-passthrough"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--player-passthrough</span></code></a> option.</p>
<p>This does only work if the player has support the specific streaming protocol built in. The player will then do
all the data fetching on its own while Streamlink will just wait for the player process to end.</p>
<p>Some streaming protocols like DASH can't be passed through to the player.</p>

<h3>MPlayer tries to play Twitch streams at the wrong FPS<a class="headerlink" href="#mplayer-tries-to-play-twitch-streams-at-the-wrong-fps" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>This is a bug in MPlayer, using the MPlayer fork <a class="reference external" href="https://mpv.io/">mpv</a> instead
is recommended.</p>

<h3>Youtube Live does not work with Mplayer<a class="headerlink" href="#youtube-live-does-not-work-with-mplayer" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>Some versions of Mplayer cannot play Youtube Live streams. And errors like:</p>

<span class="go">Seek failed</span>
