I prefer to have the option "Hide the popup on success" checked. Prior to release v0.7.0, the "Preparing"->"Launching Stream" popup would close itself once the stream launched. After updating, the popup will remain until the triggering stream is closed, or until I hit the close button on the popup itself. This is a minor inconvenience when going to open a second stream.
When updating, I simply renamed the old folder and put the new folder in its place. It seemed to retain its settings, though I did need to log back in at one point.
To troubleshoot, I disabled the "Hide the popup on success" option. While this was in effect, the popup stayed at "Launching stream" and did not progress to giving me the option to open chat, etc. Toggling the "Hide the popup on success" option back on did not change anything.
This issue has persisted for multiple days, over multiple system reboots.
I am on Windows 7 Professional, using Python 3.4.2 and Livestreamer 1.11.1.
Even with this issue, yours is by far the best Livestreamer gui I have used, and I very much appreciate your work. While I am at it, I would also like to request an option to have the program display in the taskbar when open, but minimize to the tray, as that would be my ideal configuration. Thank you for your time.
I was relieved to finally see a refresh button!
Many times when browsing the top channels or games, the refresh button is in a very unintuitive position.
I would suggest that if the top channels panel is already selected, then the onclick event handler should refresh the page rather than do nothing.
Also a small refresh icon could appear on the mousehover event to indicate to users that clicking would refresh: http://i57.tinypic.com/2i8j03l.jpg
Under Windows 8 64 it shows only 12 items under followed streams. The loading Button shortly apears and then disapears at the end of the list. Would be nice if it shows all of the streams.
Thanks for this awesome Tool btw!
I have downloaded .tar.gz of the last avaliable release, and when I run the app from Launchpad, it fails silently. When I use terminal open command, it says:
$ open twitch-gui.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/twitch-gui.app.
(I have renamed the app to twitch-gui while cleaning out the com.apple.quarantine attribute).
Any ideas?
livestreamer-twitch-gui fails to find my livestreamer installation in OSX when using installed version. As you can see, livestreamer is in my path:
➜ ~ which livestreamer
/usr/local/bin/livestreamer
➜ ~ ls -l /usr/local/bin |grep livestreamer
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 289 Oct 17 20:22 livestreamer

If I launch livestreamer-twitch-gui by cloning the repo, running the build command and then manually running the application from the src
directory, it finds the livestreamer binary:

I figured it was because installed GUI apps launched from spotlight or the dock don't have /usr/local/bin
in their PATH by default, but launching the installed application from the terminal doesn't work either:
➜ livestreamer-twitch-gui git:(master) open ~/Applications/Livestreamer\ Twitch\ GUI.app
Manually setting the path in the livestreamer-twitch-gui settings does resolve the issue, but it's nevertheless strange that the binary isn't found when running the installed version (it is the latest, btw). The only thing I can think of is that maybe process.env.path
is different for the installed version, but I don't see why it would be.
What is happening?
I installed Livestreamer with the .exe about two months ago and I was never bothered by not being able to use it through the standard CMD.
It is still working through Power Shell, mind you, but I feel this is a bug, maybe not even LS' fault, and needs reporting.
When trying to run it through the cmd, all I get is livestreamer not found, except it is added to $PATH and powershell finds it, what gives?
Windows 8.1, tried through normal and admin installation, edited the $PATH manually, deleted all lines and added then again, nothing.
Twitch has just changed their API an hour ago which causes livestreamer to fail launching streams.
The issue is already fixed (see chrippa/livestreamer#633)...
I'm going to release a new version as soon as livestreamer does, so the required min-version can be set.
Until then, you can get the latest livestreamer version from pip or by building it from its source...
I haven't had this issue until fairly recently, but some streams fail to open despite the fact that I can still launch them via command line. I haven't been keeping a record of which streams are affected, but right now, I'm trying twitch.tv/team_seaslug, /jappaguy, /yycfighers, /nyc_poem, and none of them are launching via the GUI.
I'm using the latest git with latest mpv build for Windows (July 31st).
Hi there, I've just found this program and I wanted to say that it's really fantastic. I have a suggestion that I thought you may be interested to hear.
I would really like the option to choose quality every time a stream is loaded, and maybe the launch window could change into a "now playing" window with the option to change the quality and relaunch the media player.
Also, there is a strange visual issue that happens when my tv changes frequencies and the monitors flash (have a dual screen setup with the gui on one screen and mpc-hc in exclusive mode w/ aero disabled on my tv.) The window will go all black and must be hovered over for it to refresh and become visible. also the "opening stream" window will stay open if mpc-hc has to boot up + change monitor frequencies, aero mode, etc. That last one seems to be livestreamer itself as it also does that (keeps window open if mpc-hc isn't open before launching stream.)
Three other completely random things, I like to run mpc with aero disabled so it's a little weird having no border on the window, just a thought. Also the window seems to be "always on top" which is a little annoying and seems unnecessary. Last but not least, I would love a theme toggle that would allow me to toggle the white them to a black or dark grey theme (maybe dark grey with a black border?)
I hope this wasn't too poorly written as I came back and edited this post a few times to add in ideas and I hope it doesn't sound demanding, I'm just really happy to have found your program and think these features would make your great program amazing. I look forward to your reply and future updates to the program as well as the ability to browse followed channels!
Hey Sebastian, love the app!
It would be great to add livestreamer-twitch-gui as a package to Chocolatey. Some documentation on how to create a package here. livestreamer is already a Chocolatey package.
I would be happy to setup and maintain this package myself, but it felt appropriate to get in touch with you before doing so.
Thanks!
You will then find the built executable inside the /build/releases folder.
First slash shouldn't be there.
I've finally finished off the Arch package which I started on a couple of months ago, which you can find here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/livestreamer-twitch-gui/ Turns out it was much easier than I was making it seem ;)
Should I maintain a git repo for the PKGBUILD/patches/install files, or would you rather just add them to this repo? I don't mind either way.
On Gentoo libudev.so.1 is located in /lib64
Please add that path to PATHS in start.sh
I have tried installing this on both openSUSE 13.1 and Fedora 20 and each time, I get the same error when trying to launch the executable:
error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I did a quick search and the answers I found suggest linking libudev.so.1 to libudev.so.0. That sounds like a poor and a dangerous solution. Another suggestion was to open the executable in a hex editor and change all instances of udev.so.0
to udev.so.1
. I don't even understand how I can search for a string amidst binary, but this sounds like something that shouldn't be handled by the user anyway.
Is there anything else I can try? I'd really like to try out the application.
Hey, I just tried out the program and it's nice, but my biggest issue is that you can only launch one stream at a time. It would be nice if instead of having the "Watching now" dialogue box, it just launches the stream and you can go browse and launch more. Maybe it can be an option in settings.
Hey! First let me say thanks for doing this awesome program!
I installed it on my mac and when i try to watch a stream it tells me that it cannot detect a Livestreamer installation. Livestreamer is certainly installed and on the $path variable also.
Thanks for the help in advance, awesome job!
I thought I had Livestreamer installed, but I forgot that I had recently re-installed my OS. Running Livestreamer Twitch GUI in Linux, I get the following error if the livestreamer binary couldn't be found:
Uncaught node.js Error
Error: spawn ENOENT
at exports._errnoException (util.js:677:11)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:809:32)
at eval (child_process.js:961:20)
at process._tickCallback (node.js:534:11)
If livestreamer is installed, it works as it should.
The infinite scroll function appears to fail pretty consistently when some steps are taken. This was tested with the latest git built on September 15th. To replicate:
You can also replicate this by clicking back and forth between the about screen and top games. Likewise, clicking back and forth between top channels and another category will eventually cause infinite scroll to fail for the top channels listing as well. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix this is to close the application and relaunch it, but the problem will obviously reoccur if you repeat the steps to replicate it.
Don't know why livestreamer is not working with PotPlayer and MPC-HC but is there a way around it?
really just don't like VLC that much, mainly use PotPlayer.
Just a simple option just like "minimized GUI" but just minimize it to icon tray?
As it is now, the watching window will show, which does have quality options, however by the time you can actually select a quality, the stream has already started in your desired quality. I believe either adding a right-click menu for qualities or making the watching window more like a confirmation thing would work better.
Hello,
First thanks for this app im really loving it.
Can you consider implementing a night mode ? basically turning the background grey with white font.
Thanks
would like an option to start minimized or in the system tray. im currently using the x64 linux version.
Whenever I attempt to open a stream it comes up with "Error: Couldn't launch the stream" followed by this:
"usage: livestreamer.exe [OPTIONS] [URL] [STREAM] livestreamer.exe: error: unrecognized arguments: ----default-stream=source"
Before I couldn't even launch a stream and once I reinstalled both livestreamer and twitch gui this error message starts coming up, is there anything I could fix in a config file?
I feel like I've done everything right, but I'm bad so I'm not sure. I'm running ubuntu and all the commands to build seem to run smoothly, but at the end there is no 'build/releases' folder and I don't see any way to launch. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, idk.
I use this app on a low end system because twitch website eats so many cpu and i can watch streams in vlc without a problem.
it's a low end system so it has 32bit windows. you said in last release notes you won't release 32bit builds anymore.
this makes no sense. why would you do that? i don't know how to compile an app and i don't want to deal with it. i think 0.6.1 is the last version i could use. i will use it until it will broken i think.
yesterday i thanked you for keeping this project alive and today you killed it for me :)
if i log in on different machines with this, i get an authorisation error on the other pc. At the moment i have to log in new every time if i logged in on another pc. If i only use one PC the login works multiple days. Maybe there is a workarround or new feature to prevent this from happening?
For example say i want to watch "MLG.tv" the link to the video or stream link input for livestreamer is
"hds://mlghds-lh.akamaihd.net/z/mlg459_1@129210/manifest.f4m", simply make a box like the parameters but for other streams or adding your own stream?
Hello,
Do you think it'd be possible to implement the chat directly from Twitch?Keep it up!
Hey, bastimeyer. I'm trying to build from the master branch. I followed your instructions in the readme exactly and no go. I cloned the repository using GitHub's app. I ran the command prompt as administrator when trying to build.

You know you can sort streams by skill group or you can filter streams by map for cs:go on twitch web site. Can you implement these features to your app please? Thanks.
I have a problem where I can't click on or use anything profile related such as: Recent Activity, Favorites, Subscriptions etc. Although I've authenticated with livestreamer via editing the configuration file (adding twitch-oauth-token=). Is there a correct solution to this or is it just not implemented yet?
And by the way, thank you for creating such a great utility.
Firstly, just wanted to say that I love this application. Don't think I could go back to using Twitch without it. Had a few issues that were mostly resolved by deleting my old preferences folder, but one still remains.
It seems that livestreamer-twitch-gui checks to see whether or not I have a shortcut to it in the start menu on launch, and if it detects that I don't, it places one there. Is there any way to stop this behavior? I do already have a shortcut in my start menu for it, but I've renamed it slightly.
Thanks!
Hey, I'm using your application on two different machines (usually NOT at the same time) and it keeps me logging off the previous device I was using.
Here's the less vague definition:
I log to my account on machine A.
After some time I log to the same account on machine B.
At this point if I start Twitch GUI on machine A, it won't log me in automatically. Machine B will work as expected.
Is this problem related to some twitch limitations?
could you add an option to make the application start from a certain game's twitch streams list?
for example, this link will be the first page when i start the application: http://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/League%20of%20Legends
also,
could you add an option to list the streams as lists without the pictures instead of catalog style?
so it will be like:
viewers - stream name
3500 - tom's stream
2500 - jerry's stream
1200 - patrick's stream
...
Thank you.
For example, in text fields you can't Cmd-C to copy, Cmd-V to paste, etc. You also can't right click for a context menu and use the copy/paste menu items there. You can't use Cmd-Q to quit the app like every other application.
This applies to all text fields in the app, like search, all settings, and even the username/password fields when authenticating with Twitch.
Solution: when you click on a stream, give us the quality selection immediately.
Bonus: parse/analyze the average bitrate corresponding to the quality, for example:
Source (3000kbps)
High (1580kbps)
Medium (820kbps)
etc.
There's already a Twitch tool out there that informs average bitrate for a quality, so I don't think it's unreasonable to do.
Solution: make it popout in a small, NEW window exactly like how Twitch behaves. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
Hello,
Is there any ETA regarding this option (being able to watch custom streams)? Keep it up!
Instead of just being a launcher, can integrate the stream & chat directly into the app? Currently, It feels more like a luncher instead of an app.
The icon returns to the compass when you try to pin the icon to the taskbar
Is it possible to have chat open with Chatty (http://getchatty.sourceforge.net/) instead of the web pop-out function. This would make using the chat while watching in VLC much better. Or using any other IRC client, whichever would make it easier.
This is related to issues #47 and #36.
I haven't looked to closely into this, but would it technically be possible to adjust the client_id
used? As long as the user registers their own application with the same redirect_uri
, it should work right?
I realise this would very much be a "power user" feature, but I would personally love to be signed in on more than one machine 😃
Hello Bastimeyer....fantastic work on the app so far mate! Just wanted to request a feature....in addition to the followed channels list, how about a way to list the games we're following? That would be awesome, since I often have to refer to the Twitch website in order to see which of my followed games are being played. Furthermore, Twitch is now acting up, and not show all my followed games, only ones that have a minimum of around 20 viewers. Not sure why it;s doing this, but its very annoying. If we could have this option built into Livestreamer-GUI that would be wonderful!
Anyway thanks and keep up the good work :)
Hey, i like the app being bit bigger than it is by default and every time i open it i have to resize it. Could you make it remember window size?
Thanks
For the next update, is it possible to add the Followed Game feature on the menu so we can check streams for specific games directly from the menu instead of searching for it?
I run livestreamer and this GUI from a NAS server, and because of this livestreamer takes a few seconds to load all its files before it launches, as opposed to keeping the files on a local drive. In turn, when launching streams from within the GUI, the GUI apparently thinks the stream connection just times out. I searched for timeout
in the code and, and I suspect this line is the problem, it seems 5 seconds is too low, perhaps set it to 20000 to be safer? However, I can't set this higher and test if that really fixes it, because I don't have any compilers and such installed to recompile the binary. Running on Windows 7 x64.
Not sure if there is a normal comments section or messageboard for this app but I just wanted to give a very sincere thank you to Sebastian for giving us a new updated version of Livestreamer-twitch-GUI. This version is so much better it's ridiculous. Can't tell you how happy I am with this version. Thanks so much Sebastian, you rock dude! :)
