Twitch_autoplayer

This tiny script allows you to have your favorites streamers displayed on your Raspberry Pi display as soon as they start streaming!

You can define a list of streamers that you want to watch, and the script will show you the first one that streams.

I found rsheldiii repo and thought 'hmm I can make that more complicate'

Set up

In order for it to work, the script needs both Streamlink and Tmux to be installed on your system.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install streamlink
sudo apt install tmux

You will then have to copy both the service file and the timer file to /etc/systemd/system/.

Enable and start the timer:

sudo systemctl enable twitch_tv.timer

Or you can just enable the service directly but I recommend delaying it because I had some issues.

sudo systemctl enable twitch_tv.service

That's it! The script will now start after reboot.

File Descriptions

• twitch_tv.sh: This is the main script for the Twitch autoplayer. It defines functions to start and stop streaming, check if a streamer is live, and determine streamer priority. The main loop periodically checks the status of each streamer in the list and plays the stream of the highest priority live streamer.

• streamers.txt: Text file containing the list of Twitch streamers you want to watch. Each streamer should be on a separate line.

• twitch_tv.service: Systemd service file for running the Twitch autoplayer script as a service.

• twitch_tv.timer: Systemd timer file for delaying the start of the Twitch autoplayer service after boot.

Issues

No more for now :) Feel free to open an issue if you spot anything
