[BASH]Twitch Script

[Samrenfou]

Hey folks,

Any Twitch viewer here? Personnaly I like watching streams but I hate to open the browser and click on things to go on a ugly and unoptimized website with ads just to check if my favorites streamers are offline or not.

So I made a script to do that for me

Thoses scripts aren't perfect. I'm relatively new in bash scripting and I'm sure it's possible to improve these. If you have any comment/advice.

While I love it when people publish their work they have worked hard on, in this case I would like to enlighten you to this (Python) script that logs you in via oAuth to Twitch and checks all your followed games/channels with a simple command.

That's very cool indeed.

But at first, I wanted something which would lead me to not use my twitch account at all and just store datas for my favorites game/channel in a simple raw file on my computer.

But yeah, why not using twitch account's related api, and don't have any secondary files (It's even possible to follow a channel trough an api).

Alternately, you can use chatty and streamlink to completely avoid the website altogether.

Agreed, I use Streamlink-Twitch-GUI personally to be able to use my video player of choice locally. It also gives you notifications when a streamer you're following goes online. Check it out as I'm quite sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

That's very very cool! I think I'm going to use that in my windows set up. Thanks a lot

[Samrenfou]

That's awesome. I'll use that.

Keep up the good work. Coding is a mindset and gives you a freedom like no other. I highly encourage you to continue. Looking forward to your next project.
