STREAMLINK TWITCH GUI




A MULTI PLATFORM TWITCH.TV BROWSER FOR STREAMLINK




Livestreamer Twitch GUI has been renamed

_Streamlink Twitch GUI_, previously known as _Livestreamer Twitch GUI_,
has been renamed in early december 2016. A comment regarding this change
can be found in the thread “The future of Livestreamer Twitch GUI”.


Description

A graphical user interface on top of the Streamlink command line
interface.

Streamlink Twitch GUI is a NW.js application, which means that it is a
web application written in JavaScript (EmberJS), HTML (Handlebars) and
CSS (LessCSS) and is being run by a Node.js powered version of Chromium.

Why

One of the reasons for having bad viewing experiences on Twitch.tv is
the usage of their HTML5 or Flash video player. Especially on mobile
desktop devices, high CPU and memory usage and lack of GPU acceleration
of the web browser can cause major issues like buffering, stuttering or
low video playback frame rates.

With Streamlink Twitch GUI you’re not dependent on your web browser and
streams can be watched in the video player of your choice, enabling a
smooth video playback. In addition to that, variable stream buffers will
help you countering bad network conditions.

Please bear in mind that you’re bypassing any ads run by Twitch by using
this software. If you want to support Twitch or a single broadcaster,
please consider buying Twitch Prime or subscribing to the broadcaster’s
channel. Thank you!


Download

Stable release

VISIT THE PROJECT’S WIKI for detailed installation and configuration
guides, or just see the GitHub releases page if you don’t need help. The
wiki also includes a list of supported packages for your platform.

Please remember that STREAMLINK TWITCH GUI, as the name already
suggests, is only a graphical user interface (GUI) built on top of
STREAMLINK. This means that Streamlink has to be installed on your
system in order to be able to launch streams. Once again, see the wiki
if you need help, as it also covers installing Streamlink.

Development version

If you want to test the latest unreleased version, you can do this by
cloning the repository and building the application off the master
branch. Further instructions can be found down below or here.
Please don’t forget to report any bugs you may encounter. Thank you very
much for helping!


Build

Building the application on your own is simple. Just make sure that the
latest stable versions of Node.js and Yarn (or Npm) are installed on
your system.
Then run the following lines from the path of your cloned repository to
install all dependencies and to start the build process. You will then
find the built executable inside the build/releases folder. See here for
more detailed instructions.
