The script autoTwitchToYouTube was created to record a broadcast from the Twitch platform on YouTube, in order to watch the stream later. Broadcasts are downloaded in best quality, no transcoding, the stream is directly sent back to YouTube. With the use of shell pipe, no video is store in disk. What you need is the username of the Twitch channel, every minute the shell script check if a broadcast has started.
