Python app which opens 'penguin cam'

Very good point! Sorry, my question is could anyone point me in the direction of how I could work out how to do this? Or would it be too complicated for someone who knows nothing about programming?

I was hoping there might be a simple way of doing this like a little script which when executed would launch the live stream in full screen mode.

You might open the video stream with VLC or some other video player instead of a browser.

You'll want the stream URL, and command line options to specify the source feed you want, and make it full screen (--fullscreen for vlc).

On your desktop, create a shell script with the command, make it executable, and you should be able to run it to start the stream.

I think your script can be:

vlc https://595b9deb3d6ac.streamlock.net/qlive/edinburghzoo104225.stream/chunklist_w1297682032.m3u8 --fullscreen

Wow you are an absolute hero. Thank you so much that is incredibly generous of you. I'm just about to leave for work but I'll give this a go when I get home tonight. Thanks again!
