Adapting streamlinksrv to other x64 Linux platforms

[speedysupranet]

Streamlinksrv was originally created for enigma2 based systems. The challenge there is to get the most recent versions of streamlink up and running as some plugins are regurarly changing.

I tried to run streamlinksrv on Streamlink 5.2.1 with Python 3.10 on a standard linux system (OpenSuSE Tumbleweed) and failed heavily. It seems, that a lot of things did change from Python 2.7 to 3.10 as well as in Streamlink to just let it run out of the box.

My programming skills are not with Python so adapting would be a huge effort for my with a lot of trial and error. So would there be any chance to adapt this to to a x64 Linux platform? I don't mind which it is. Happy also to donate something.

Here are the error logs when running it out of the box:

pidfile /var/run/streamlink.pid does not exist. Daemon not running?

As a side note, there is an alternative that supports other platforms - https://github.com/back-to/liveproxy/ - but it does not seem to be actively developed too. I successfully used it on Python 2 based Enigma2 images (so mostly outdated nowadays) and Linux (there with Python 3).
