Acestream in Ubuntu 17.4 using Acestream Launcher

I have had a number trial and error with Acestream. For windows users have an easy route with a easy install wizard that installs everything. However, under linux it was a bit more challenging to get it to work.

Here's what I did to get it to work :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python python-psutil python-pexpect python-notify2 acestream-engine vlc

sudo apt-get install git

mkdir acestream

cd acestream

git clone https://github.com/jonian/acestream-launcher.git

sudo bash ./install.sh

Now that everything installed you can open an acestream feed by using the acestream-launcher followed by acestream feed address.

acestream-launcher acestream://9583095830495830945w09df8sf90d8sdf9089

p.s the above address is a fake address that I made up.
