+Livestreamer is a Command Line Interface that pipes video streams
+from various services into a video player, such as VLC. The main
+purpose of Livestreamer is to allow the user to avoid buggy and CPU
+heavy flash plugins but still be able to enjoy various streamed
+content.
+
+Livestreamer is built upon a plugin system which allows support for
+new services to be easily added. Currently most of the big streaming
+services are supported, such as:
+ Dailymotion
