twitch-stream-link

Dependencies: Streamlink - VLC and/or Mpv

I made this tiny nodejs package because I wanted to remove twitch app from my phone and also I didn't want to use the twitch site on desktop, as I don't care about the chat.

How to use it

# git clone this repo then npm i

# Help, list of dependencies
node stream -h

# List of available streamers
node stream -a

# Start streaming Shroud if he is online
node stream -s shroud

# Start stream using npm scripts

npm run ziz

npm run shroud

# With npx

# Help, list of dependencies
npx @pfcode/twitch-stream-link@latest -h

# List of available streamers
npx @pfcode/twitch-stream-link@latest -a

# Start streaming Shroud if he is online
npx @pfcode/twitch-stream-link@latest -s shroud

Create a shortcut

# Add this code to your .bashrc

# Stream

function stream()
{
    if [ "$1" ]; then

    eval "npx @pfcode/twitch-stream-link@latest -s $1"

    else

    echo -e -ne $(alert 'The streamer name given do not exist in config.json. Exit the script...')

    exit

    fi
}

alias stream=stream

# Reload your terminal then use
stream zizaran

One click stream

You can create a .bat file to run a streamer with one click

Create a xqc.bat for example in your desktop then add this snippet

@echo off
npx @pfcode/twitch-stream-link@latest -s xqc

Xqc stream will run in one click if he is online :)

Output example

$ stream zizaran

    [

            "options":
            {
