Scripts to view and open Twitch.tv livestreams from the command line

• python 3
• a valid Twitch.tv OAUTH token
• Livestreamer command line utility
• FZF (optional, for zsh plugin)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rahulsalvi/twitcher.git "${TWITCHER_DIR:-$HOME}/.twitcher"
   

2. Create an environment variable TWITCH_TOKEN with a Twitch.tv OAUTH token:

   export TWITCH_TOKEN=<your token>
   

3. Add the following line to your .zshrc:

   [ -f "${TWITCHER_DIR:-$HOME}/.twitcher/twitcher.zsh" ] && source "${TWITCHER_DIR:-$HOME}/.twitcher/twitcher.zsh"
   

Use the keybind Alt-t to open an FZF window with your followed streams. Selecting a stream (or many) will open them using the Livestreamer utility

There are several environment variables that control how twitcher behaves

TWITCHER_DIR - Set this to the location to where you cloned the project

TWITCH_TOKEN - The OAUTH token to use. Since this is linked to a Twitch.tv account, multiple can be used if desired

FZF_TWITCHER_OPTS - The options passed to FZF when opening twitcher

A Twitch.tv OAUTH token can be generated by registering your own Twitch.tv application or with this tool
