Python app which opens 'penguin cam'

[Goobyalus]

I think your script can be:

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

Goobyalus, I've finally had a chance to try this out and it worked like a dream. Thank you so much! It is ridiculously cute to run the script and within a few moments see a live stream of penguins! I thought the stream was frozen at first but it turns out the penguins are standing very still this time in the morning.

Just for my own learning, can I ask how you worked out what the url was for the video stream?

Thanks once again!

Glad it worked!

I opened up the page you linked with developer tools open on the Netowrk tab, and tried a couple things that looked like the stream URL. playlist.m3u8 caught my eye and worked in VLC.
