Description

Ref #1972 (comment)

Having Plugins in the master branch which won't receive any updated when they break
does not make that much sense.

They should all be removed, if they are not supported for any future updates.


Here is a list of some plugins that might not match this

https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#plugin-requests

and could be removed.


This issue is there to decide

  • if they should be removed
  • which should be removed
  • which can stay (for example some of the broken plugins at the end)

Sites which are hosting stolen content as their main source of content

  • Aliez
  • ArconaiTv
  • SeeTV
  • StreamBoat
  • Weeb

NSFW sites of a pornographic nature (cam sites, porn sites, etc.)

  • bongacams
  • Cam4
  • Camsoda
  • Chaturbate

Sites which are mostly hosting VODs (stolen or legitimate)

  • Antenna (broken old plugin)
  • Dplay (broken old plugin, youtube-dl could be for this if someone wants this)

of course there are more, but this sentence should probably been changed if the other should stay.

old plugins that are broken,
which most likely won't get fixed in the near future
some of them might work with youtube-dl.

  • Aftonbladet
  • BritTV
  • Expressen
  • Mips
  • VGTV

useless plugins

  • SpeedRunsLive (twitch could be used directly)
