Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] is there a Twitch Plugin?
Are you referring to twitch.tv ? If yes then there have a documented API that someone could try to use. However https://mixmag.net/read/twitch-dj-live-streams-copyright-news Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com author of \"now playing\" plugins covering radio france (fip etc), kcrw, supla finland, abc australia, cbc/radio-canada and rte ireland Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113995 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] is there a Twitch Plugin?
I'm also interested in getting support for the audio component of Twitch.tv streams into LMS. DJ streams on Twitch have exploded over the last year, and it's often a pain to wait for a TV + Chromecast to 'boot up' when LMS is running 24/7 in every room. Is there a plugin which will simply execute a command on the LMS and expect it to spit out an MP3 or AAC stream on its stdout ? I want to use the existing 'livestreamer' https://docs.livestreamer.io/cli.html tool which already supports both Twitch and an 'audio only' mode and am happy to try to shoehorn it in via some kind of 'execute external command with parameter 'Username'' No point in reinventing the wheel!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] is there a Twitch Plugin?
I would also love having a real Twitch plugin but unfortunately my pearl
is way to bad to understand LMS integration and/or knit something like a
plugin together on my own :rolleyes:.
But there are ways to achieve this, so I share my workaround on this:
As a prerequisite you need BPA#s HLS plugin which is explained in detail
'here'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103158-Announce-PlayHLS-Plugin-plugin-to-play-Apple-HLS-m3u8-stream)
Instead of livestreamer I'd recommend the usage of youtube-dl binary
which is easy to install and imho without dependencies to grab the audio
URL.
Install youtube-dl on the same box your LMS is running:
Code:
wget -O - https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl | sudo tee
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl >/dev/null
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
Now you can run a one liner to play your stream by executing this
command on the box your LMS is running on (please replace ZZ with
your desired Twitch user, you want to listen to and those XX with the
MAC-adress of your squeezebox player you want to listen the stream on):
Code:
URL=$(/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -f audio_only --get-url
https://www.twitch.tv/ZZ | sed 's/.\{5\}$//') | curl -s
"http://127.0.0.1:9000/status.html?p0=playlist&p1=play&&player=00:04:20:XX:XX:XX&p2="$URL"";
Hope this helps

I'm working on updating PLayHLS adding a bit more HLS support. Can you post an example of the top level m3u8 URL or if it is transient the contents just so I can visually check whether the update could break support. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113995 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The sample is good. >From a technical perspective - they are using old HLS "#EXT-X-VERSION:3" and MPEG2-TS stream which has video, audio and possibly timed ID3 metadata. I assume the plugin is playing stream audio OK. The PLayHLSv2 plugin discards any video but video still has to be downloaded so overall data rate will be high but audio data rate will only be a fraction of it. The plugin does not process "Timed metadata" because I never seen one actually working. In the stream there are Twitch specific directives and use of Daterange but it seems they can be ignored. I am noting this stuff here in case things change.
