If you just run

streamlink https://pluto.tv/live-tv/pluto-tv-spotlight best

do you see error messages?

It may be how I installed it.  I removed everything and tried again, getting different output now...  Same error, but there is a stacktrace...  Indicating file not found.

Bingo!

That works.
I've made it thru a commercial and back to the move (Dances with Wolves) with no problems...

[mvallevand]

Great. Unfortunately some channels will still not play through commercials but most will. Also for straight play in NextPVR it is ok, but I find the files do need a remux if you want to skip in them. Comksip finds about 70% of the commercials too which helps.

Are you interested in testing the extra. I suggest testing on an empty dabase there are 300 channels and you might need to get used to ttem before selecting the ones you really want.

My time is fairly limited, but I do have a spare machine I can use just for this testing. I'll help when I can but unfortunately, can't commit to solid blocks of time right now.

[ReenigneArcher]

Latest release of Streamlink doesn't require a patch.

https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink

Also, I have a python script which generates m3u and epg for Pluto... There is an optional argument "--streamlink" which will generate the m3u for use with Streamlink instead of using the stitcher url.
