Answer

the instructions you used are a bit incomplete, as one important step is missing. The installation of Pipelight itself looks okay so far, but you probably don’t have installed a user agent switcher. This is required to make the (streaming) pages think that you’re using a Windows PC, otherwise they will refuse access or hang at 100% loading.
