@SanyaIV did you uninstall streamlink before installing the new version? If you didn't it might be worth trying that.

[SanyaIV]

I didn't, but I'll try that.

Edit: Ah, that fixed it.. should probably have done that to begin with to be honest.

Good stuff! I'm going to close this since it's resolved.
