StreamBuffRe

[Zero3K]

StreamBuffRe - (Buffer and Redirect Streams) is basically a tool to buffer (download into ram) media streams and redirect them to different destinations. Based on this core functionality, StreamBuffRe lets you watch, save and manage many available media streams. Its plugin architecture provides a way to add even more functionality.

^ I would also like to mention that I've been using it to watch Youtube and Twitch Live Streams/Videos.

Nifty app. Cool finding.

It should be noted, though, that your report on disk cost is way off. I don't know if StreamBuffRe would work without them, but after running a full setup sequence of the portable version (which includes downloading youtube-dl, PhantomJS, mpv and ffmpeg -- and I declined VLC) the total amount is over 2 hundred megabytes.

2/ I was just reporting the base size.

Note: if you have a previous version, it will ask to auto-update...

And what is wrong with that?

Did I say there was something wrong? Absolutely nothing. It's good to know, though.

I had high hopes for SteamBuffRe but to date it has failed me everytime I try to use it in any of the more complex situations.

Case in point the current free streamings by the MetOpera -- the browser plays them fine, I can see blob:https://www.metopera.org/{guid} being played in the webpage information, but StreamBuffRe fails to even try to get it. And this is just the latest instance of my disappointments with it...
