There are several ways to record streams using Streamlink. Generally, recording with streamlink follows this format:

streamlink [URL] [QUALITY] -o [OUTPUTNAME].mp4

Here is an example of Streamlink running while recording a Twitch stream:

For this example, I've used the following command:

streamlink https://www.twitch.tv/projektmelody best -o insertvodnamehere.mp4

Here is an easy to understand example as how to make a command for Streamlink yourself:

streamlink [URL] [QUALITY] -o [OUTPUTNAME].mp4 --[Options]

streamlink https://www.twitch.tv/nyanners 1080p60 -o nyannersvod.mp4 --retry-streams 15

The [URL] should be self explanatory - but for the [QUALITY], I've used 1080p60, for the [OUTPUTNAME] I've chosen nyannersvod.mp4, and as an --[Option] I've used the --retry-streams 15 option.

Streamlink accepts many options for QUALITY for Twitch streams: audio_only, 160p, 360p , 720p,720p60, 1080p, 1080p60, as well as 'best' to automatically select the best quality version of the stream.

As for the available options, it would take too much space to put them all into this guide - so here's the link to the Streamlink documentation, with all the options listed: https://streamlink.github.io/cli.html#general-options
