# Acestream Launcher
Acestream Launcher allows you to open Acestream links with a Media Player of your choice
## Dependencies
```text
python, pyhon-acestream, libnotify, acestream-engine
```
Since `v1.0.0` acestream-launcher uses [Acestream Engine HTTP API](https://wiki.acestream.media/Engine_HTTP_API) that is available on acestream-engine `v3.1` or later.
## Usage
```shell
acestream-launcher URL [--player PLAYER] [--engine ENGINE]
```
## Positional arguments
```text
URL The acestream url to play
```
## Optional arguments
```text
-h, --help Show this help message and exit
-p, --player PLAYER The media player command to use (default: mpv)
-e, --engine ENGINE The engine command to use (default: acestreamengine --client-console)
-t, --timeout TIMEOUT Time in seconds to wait for stream playback (default: 30)
-l, --hls Get HLS stream instead of HTTP stream
-v, --verbose Show engine and media player output in console
```
## Configuration
Create `~/.config/acestream-launcher/config` file to override the default arguments. Use `tty` and `browser` sections to set different options when executing the script from the console or the web browser.
```text
[DEFAULT]
player = vlc
verbose = true
timeout = 60
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 6878
[tty]
engine = acestreamengine --client-console --log-file /home/jonian/.ACEStream/engine.log
[browser]
engine = acestreamengine --client-gtk --log-file /home/jonian/.ACEStream/browser.log
verbose = false
```
