That’s caused by a recent packaging change in the Windows installer of Streamlink which is causing issues in the Twitch GUI. I’m still searching for a proper solution to this that’s not a cheap workaround. It’s not that simple, unfortunately.
For now, you’ll have to fix this yourself by choosing the
streamlink.exefile from the installer’sbinsubdirectory as the intendedstreamlink-script.pyand selecting the includedpythonw.exefile (notice thew) from thePythonsubdirectory as the python executable.More infos here: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/2287
Let me pin this thread to the top, so everyone on Windows can see it. Sorry for the inconveniences.
I will also add a link to this thread in the wiki.
Closing, as it’s been a week since 1.7.0 and everyone already had the chance to upgrade by now who could possibly run into this issue.
