Hello all, Our client want to stream from time to time his FaceBook livestream onto his screens. I had a quick look at the live streaming package. Yes, I know it is still in Beta but it should support FaceBook But just going live with your mobile isnt working for some reason while it is shown in FaceBook. Anyone got experience or a workaround for this ?? ---

If you can play the livestream on a computer then it’s possible to encode that as an RTP stream using OBS studio, which you can then enter as the stream url into the stream settings box. This would of course require the Pi device to be on the same network as the computer that was outputting the RTP stream. ---

> [@TerraColligo](#): > > @Florian Is the module automatically updated ?? Nope. Manual update required. I can see if I can update that tomorrow. If anyone want to volunteer, here’s the package source repository: [GitHub - info-beamer/package-livestream: Experimental package based on streamlink. Should be able to stream youtube, twitch and others.](https://github.com/info-beamer/package-livestream) ---

Package [is updated to streamlink 1.1.0](https://info-beamer.com/pkg/6915#updates). Can you give that a try? ---

Thank you for the update … 1.0.0 - facebook [facebook.com](http://facebook.com) Yes No Only 360p HLS streams 1.1.0 - facebook [facebook.com](http://facebook.com) Yes Yes to my surprise StreamLink has gotten yet an other update to 1.1.1 😉 And I did see I had forgotten to switch from the stable to the testing channel … non the less I was not able to get FaceBook live to be displayed. ![infobeamer-FBlink](https://community.info-beamer.com/uploads/default/original/1X/08f800515ef52c69af223538df6497aa40a692be.jpeg) Checking if the stream was active (right click from a 2nd FB screen on the video asking for the video link) by pasting the url to streamlink This made me think … could a resolution selector be added to each stream ? Will be testing some more… ---

At least 1.1.1 won’t make a difference for this issue. [The changes are minimal](https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/compare/1.1.0...1.1.1). You also don’t need `testing`. This might been required before the [10 release](https://info-beamer.com/blog/info-beamer-hosted-update-stable-0010), but currently `testing` and `stable` are mostly identical. In your screenshot, the reason it doesn’t work is only because streamlink can’t find VLC. Streamlink itself does not have a video playback part. It only takes a stream source, tries to get the raw stream data and then makes that available to a local player. So in your case that would be. ```nohighlight Facebook Stream --> streamlink.exe(?) --> VLC ``` for the live stream package it’s ```nohighlight Facebook Stream --> streamlink --> info-beamer ``` where streamlink is started as a [package service](https://info-beamer.com/doc/package-services). I guess we should [take a look at the logs](https://info-beamer.com/doc/debugging) to see why that doesn’t work.
