[question] how to setup a trigger when using --retry flags to wait for streams?

[v1kn]

my livestreamer use case includes --retry-open and --retry-streams flags, to wait for twitch streams, and fire up mpv as soon as the stream goes live. However, I've been wanting to be able to simultaneously start a web browser with chat window of that stream.

Because livestreamer command is running both while waiting and when starting mpv, I cannot use bash tricks like ; or && to tie up the browser window to it.

How can I trigger another command the moment livestreamer goes from standby to streaming?

Probably possible with an actual script. Not really a Livestreamer issue. Ask this nicely on unix.stackexchange.com and someone will probably do the script for you. :D
