Streamit

Simple Twitch.tv streaming app for Linux. Pretty much just a simple wrapper around ffmpeg.

Installing

Assuming you have Go installed and your $GOPATH set up, simply do:

go get github.com/Pursuit92/streamit

Binaries to come!

Usage

On first run, streamit will create a settings.json file at $HOME/.config/streamit/settings.json. This should be sufficient for most people starting out, you just need to fill in your Twitch stream key.

Log files will default to being created at $HOME/.config/streamit/log/. These are recreated at every run and shouldn't take up much space.

Streaming will start a few seconds after you run streamit and will end as soon as it exits. Currently, the best way to see that you're actually streaming is to check your Twitch dashboard since ffmpeg doesn't really provide any "streaming-started" notification.
