• Create a GUI for the config

• Better quality support (can be tricky)

About & Technical details

I wrote this program because its useful for me, and because i wanted to try some .Net features.

• C#

• Plugins support use the Reflection API & interface. Since for streaming websites "Channels", "Streams" and "Users" are similar but somewhat DIFFERENT concepts the plugin interface facilitate the coding. The main program is manipulating "LiveStreams" and doesnt have to worry about the inner working of each streaming API.

• HTTPS, JSON

• Regex
