Livestreamer CLI window opens along with media player window

[NilsEnevoldsen]

When stream is opened, the Livestreamer CLI window also opens. I’m using Windows 7.

I attempted a bisect.

• bd5b9d4 is good.
• 6c5c952 – cd9c6a3 compile, but fail to open streams. I could not test them.
• 38da87e is bad.

Which livestreamer version do you use?
Is it possible, that you've installed livestreamer via pip? I'm asking this, because the "pip-version" doesn't respond to SIGTERM signals and also opens the CLI window.

I think I was originally using livestreamer-1.9, but upgraded to livestreamer-1.10.1 in an attempt to fix the issue.

I did install (and update) livestreamer via pip. However, livestreamer-twitch-gui bd5b9d4 with livestreamer-1.10.1 does not open the CLI window.

I've added a livestreamer validation + version check in the v0.5.0 release (the commit ID you've linked is the last one with the old system). The CLI stays behind, because everytime you launch a stream, livestreamer is being invoked two times and what you see is the first livestreamer process used for the validation. The issue with the "pip-version" is, that it doesn't respond to SIGTERM signals, so you can't terminate this process and it also opens the CLI window and keeps it opened for some reason. The strange thing is, that this behavior only applies to the windows version.

Your problem should be fixed if you switch to the regular installer which you can find on the releases page of the livestreamer repository.
