<section id="player-path-only-player-cli-argument">
<h3>Player-path-only --player CLI argument<a class="headerlink" href="#player-path-only-player-cli-argument" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>Despite having the dedicated CLI argument for setting custom player arguments <a class="reference internal" href="cli.html#cmdoption-player-args"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--player-args</span></code></a>,
Streamlink used to support setting custom player arguments using the <a class="reference internal" href="cli.html#cmdoption-player"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--player</span></code></a> CLI argument.</p>
<p>This meant that the <a class="reference internal" href="cli.html#cmdoption-player"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--player</span></code></a> value had to be treated as a command line string rather than a player path.
As a result of this, player paths would need to be quoted if they contained whitespace characters. While the default config
file of Streamlink's Windows installer tried to teach this, it was often used incorrectly on command-line shells, especially
on Windows where escaping the CLI argument is more difficult compared to POSIX compliant command-line shells. Not quoting
the player path on Windows still worked, but at the cost of potentially resolving an incorrect or malicious executable.</p>
<p>The support for custom player arguments in <a class="reference internal" href="cli.html#cmdoption-player"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--player</span></code></a> was a relic from the Livestreamer project and has finally
been removed. <a class="reference internal" href="cli.html#cmdoption-player"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--player</span></code></a> now only accepts player executable path strings and any custom player arguments need to be set
using the <a class="reference internal" href="cli.html#cmdoption-player-args"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--player-args</span></code></a> CLI argument where the argument value gets properly interpreted using shell-like syntax.</p>
<p>Streamlink's Windows installer has received a new default config file and users now also can choose to overwrite their existing
config file from previous installs. The default behavior remains the same with existing config files staying untouched.</p>

<p>Be aware that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Streamlink.resolve_url()</span></code> will return the explicit plugin name, plugin class and the resolved URL, whereas
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Streamlink.streams()</span></code> will initialize the first matching plugin automatically, so it's possible to pass custom options
to a different plugin by accident, if the URL matches an unintended plugin.</p>
