Tvheadend

This works on my setup: pipe:///usr/local/bin/streamlink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhajwzEv1Fo best -O

BTW, this is streamlink 5.0.1

I found the solution with
pipe:///home/osmc/.local/bin/streamlink --stdout --hls-live-edge 6 --ringbuffer-size 32M -4 --default-stream 720p,best --url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhajwzEv1Fo

streamlink 5.0.1

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="NHK Worl-Japan (JP)" tvg-language="English" tvg-country="JP" tvg-logo="https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AKedOLQ9ItuDialCNXYh2ue_wnjMND6mh3JIWPLfDprFZw=s176-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj-mo" group-title="Variety",NHK World-Japan (JP)
pipe:///usr/bin/env streamlink --stdout --default-stream 720p,best --url https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/live/

works

I want to watch a youtube live channel on TV (RPi) as a tvheadend-channel (withot API-key) what should work with streamlink (?) but how to creat a mux?
I tired for example:
pipe:///home/osmc/.local/bin/streamlink --stdout --default-stream best --url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhajwzEv1Fo
what does not work . Can anyone please post a working streamlink mux entry for a tvheadend mux ?!

Hello, I think you can use streamlink to extract the stream URL from the YouTube page:

streamlink --youtube-hash "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHANNEL_ID" best --stdout | youtube-dl -g

This will output something like an RTMP URL.

Next, you should create a muxconf file for TVheadend to use that channel:

# youtube.mux
input=ffmpeg,pull=http://RTMP_URL
ffmpeg_options=-fflags nobuffer -fflags discardcorrupt 
mux=ts
output=channel1 
service=1:0:0:0:name:YouTube Channel

Yeah. Maybe I should do it this way, even though it's a bit more complicated and time-consuming.
