Checks if a user on twitch is currently streaming and then records the stream via streamlink

Dependencies:

• streamlink (https://streamlink.github.io)
• python-twitch-client (https://github.com/tsifrer/python-twitch-client)
• python (https://www.python.org/)

Installation:

• clone this repo or download
• make sure you have python3 installed
• open cmd/terminal
  • change directory into folder containing the file 'requirements.txt'
  • type pip install -r requirements.txt
• edit line 11 in 'check.py' with your text editor of choice so it contains your twitch client id
  • you can create it here

Usage:

• in your cmd/terminal, run python check.py [options] [user]
  • [time] is measured in seconds, e.g. '30' for 30 seconds
  • [user] is the user you want to record, e.g. 'forsen'
  • [quality] is the stream quality you want to record, 'best' is default. Refer to streamlink documentation for more info.
• call python check.py --help for a detailed description.

Plans for the future:

• When done recording, upload to YouTube
• Monitor multiple streams / implement threading
• Export to .exe so you don't have to install python (very easy)
