php script with a bit of python which use the twitch API to check the status of one streamer and play a sound if he's online.
Created originally to transform a Raspberry Pi into a stream-notifier.
Not tested on a classic-desktop configuration
Twitch_notifier take two arguments
php twitch_notifier.php <streamer-name> <path-of-the-sound>
(note : sound file can be in all format supported by pygame, more info below)
To check if kikettestar is streaming, and play sound.mp3 if he's online we can use
php twitch_notifier.php kikettestar ./sound.mp3
(note : in this case, the audio file is assumed in the same directory as the script)
congrats !
Of course you'll need to have php and Python ready, in addition you also need to have the Pygame module installed.
