looks pretty nifty, gonna check it out

Thanks, let me know what you think. I should have all the features done within a week or so. Just depends on how busy I am.

It's incredibly upsetting that you joined in on the action when I had died and cursed, if only you had done it 20 seconds later when I got a quadruple 360 airshot.

Thanks for making this though, will this work with other websites like dailymotion and the MLG streams?

Haha, sorry xD

So long as it works with LiveStreamer it will work with this, all it needs is the URL for you to copy/paste into the input.

Update coming in about 5 minutes :)

livestreamer has plugins for mlg and dailymotion so yes.

Alright, updated to where you can fully use the Favorite's section.

New video here.

And new download link here.

Let me know what you guys think :)

Alright, another update, going up to version 2.0. Had more time than I thought on my hands tonight, girlfriend working late and all :)

So, unless there are any bugs that I didn't catch or something breaks the program due to updates or something I think this is complete.

You can now view the live streams from Twitch.tv and when you find the one you want just easily copy the URL right from the program and click the tab "input Stream" tab to save and or watch it :)

Here is a little image of the revised GUI

The only addition to this is the viewing of live streams using an embedded web browser. Nicely cut to fit the window and all :)

So yeah, here is the new download link located here.

As always, let me know what you think :)

Just an FYI, I had to update to 2.2 because I forgot a piece of test code in there, so if you have v2.0 at the top, redownload from the above post for v2.2.

Also, a video demo is shown here.

Thanks!

Alright, updated to version 2.3. A pretty big change.

• GUI is now resizeable, you can make it as small or big as you want.
  
• Back/Home/Refresh buttons from the Twitch.tv browser.
  
• Quick Copy of the URL of the stream via Ctrl+` key.
  
• Pressing the "X" on the GUI (Close) no longer kills the app, it just sends it to tray. You can right click on the tray icon and click "Show" to bring it back up or "Exit" to close the program

Here is a new and clean video of the updated app and the download link is now located on Sourceforge

Please comment and let me know what you guys think :)

Holy shit this is amazing

So essentially this is giving the ability to watch livestreams without being in your browser? The first post confused me a little.

It loads streams up in a standalone media player using livestreamer instead of flash, which is very resource intensive.

Also, you can save streams in a favorites list and essentially load a stream in one click. I'm going to look into a way to make it so in the favorites list it'll show if their live or not, but not 100% sure if I can atm.

And thanks to everyone for trying it out.

@ChinGoo

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Really great idea and I'm glad you found some use for livestreamer, but it wouldn't hurt to play around with the GUI a little bit.

Cool, either way.

Also

SourceForge was flooded with spam yesterday on random projects with "Stream" in the name and they wen't through and banned a bunch of accounts/projects. Mine was flagged and removed but my account has been restored and their working on the projects now to get them back. So download is down for the moment. Sorry.

Big update done it, you can now see which streams are live and which aren't and a couple other small changes. Removed "Back" button because you can only go two levels deep into Twitch anways, so I just kept the "Home" button and left it at that.

New Favorites Look

Reuploaded to SourceForge and made a new video.

Both can be found here.

Thanks and enjoy!

Would it be possible to have some IRC integration? So if you start watching a stream it would also open the chat

Well, I could easily make it do a popout window of the chat using your default browser. Is that what you mean?

I haven't used an IRC chat for Twitch before but I know HexChat works with it I believe. Would the popout window be enough or would people prefer an IRC program be required?

I'd be perfectly happy with the popout chat window.

Alright, look for an update in the next 10-15 minutes I think :)

Good idea, thanks for bringing it up, I never talk on chat so I didn't think of it!

Keen for the update :P Just found this nifty tool and want to try it out
Edit: Using the current version, and once I click start stream. The popup window happens then nothing. No CMD or anything. What did I do wrong :(

Sorry, took a bit longer than I thought, I was looking into HexChat as well. At the moment it only supports chat through the browser but I hope to implement HexChat later when I familiarize myself with it more!

SourceForge Link

Should be set to 3.1 by default, but if not just make sure you download that version.

By default chat is enabled, but if you want to disable it go to the tab "Chat Options" and deselect it. It will remember what you have selected if you close/reopen the program.

Please note, due to some issues with Twitch servers sometimes the program will take a upwards of ~8 seconds to load. Sorry.

@Dext, do you have LiveStreamer installed? IE: http://livestreamer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html

This is pretty cool, thanks for making it and adding chat.

This might be browser specific (I use chrome), but if I already have the browser open, it launches as a new tab. I would find it more convenient if it opened as a new window, but that might just be me.

Nah, thats how all browser's will behave. Unless there's a big request for it I don't think I will delve into that, sorry.

Oh, and please re-download the program. I realized I left a small mistake in there where even if you press "No" on the "Input Stream" tab while "Start Stream" was pressed it will open chat anyways.

This was fixed, just make sure you have the version LiveStreamer Pro3.2 Not LiveStreamer Pro 3.2

Hahaha Retard moment... Sorry dude yeah thats the issue :)

No problem at all, just wanted to make sure everything was good!

Sourceforge flagged the program again. The admins are adding a flag to my account so it won't get tagged again. Update to come later tonight for the program, sorry guys.
