LOL, I know the feeling

Hi 40k,
To be honest, I did download it and signed on for an account, but I'm not really into twitch.tv. I'm certainly getting use out of your youtube script though. Keep up the good work.

Twitch made it to 1.0, I feel kind of proud actually.

If you're ever bored Don, mind looking at my VBS code to see if Xy can do the same using in-house scripting?

If you run into the error "Can not find location of file; $g_Swf..." go to your <xyscripts> folder and delete any files related to the Twitch script with the exception of Twitch.xys of course.

- Twitch.ini
- Twitch.bat
- Twitch.vbs

In general most problems with the script can be resolved by deleted the script INI file. This triggers the configuration wizard to launch.

Version 1.1

Twitch has just updated their flash key and the script automatically retrieved the new key to remain functional. I'm so proud

Major update on this one. New code now checks which streams you Follow or have Recently Watched and that are currently online, then shows them to you in a list

Some tweaks:

To automatically hide the rtmpdump command console window adjust the code in the script as follows: The script will not work if you already have an instance of rtmpdump or VLC running before you execute it. You can introduce the following code in the "_Initialize" function to automatically kill any instance of rtmpdump or VLC:
note: if you allow multiple instances in VLC you can watch multiple streams at the same time without problems. You can enable this setting under Preferences.

new update

Next revision will not require the VB code as I've discovered that rtmpdump has integrated support for Justin.tv and Twitch.tv Flash hashing. I'm currently beta testing to see if this works in the long rung but it should noticeable speed up the script.

Hey 40k i registered just to say thank you for this script. I was looking for something like this for days. There is some guy writing an addon for chrome but wasn't as effective so i was trying to find someting external. This script is actualy more or less what i was looking for. Would be great if you can dock such a key in tray but yeaa can't have everything as ppl say

Keep up the good work man you deserve it.

Version 1.4 now supports the new resolutions as defined by Twitch.tv
I believe they are making the move to this new naming scheme in preparation of their HLS video roll-out.

I've just developed some code that allows you to use this script as a GUI for Livestreamer (http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/index.html#)

Livestreamer allows you to view streams from a bunch of streaming sites including HLS from Twitch.tv

if anyone is interested I can post the code here, let me know

i would be intrested in code if you could provide it
nice that you are around to update it on recent changes too

Thank you

Version 2.0 is here.

Twitch no longer uses rtmp as a video platform streaming service. Instead, they have moved to HLS.
RTMPdump is no longer required. The script now uses Livestreamer. All info is in the OP.
Happy watching
