Hey all, We originally worked closely with Twitch to integrate support for streaming directly from inside the game with no external software. Six months ago, Twitch announced that they are no longer supporting direct integration (http://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/twitch-pc-sdk-no-longer-supported/1267) and now recommend that customers use third party software like Open Broadcaster Software (https://obsproject.com/) to stream content to Twitch. This means that there will be no more updates to the Twitch SDK. With that in mind, we are going to follow their recommendation and end our use of their SDK. The main menu will look the same so people can still find your streams, and for most users' point of view there will be no change. However, if you are a streamer, please check out the Twitch post and figure out which third party software solution works best for you. OBS has turned in to a great solution if you're looking for streaming software. We apologize for any inconvenience, but with the removal of support on the Twitch side, this is the best way for us to provide a good user experience.
Hitbox support direct integration I believe, and due to their size are probably more open to providing support and all that jazz. Might be an avenue worth exploring at some point.
Does this only affect audio/video, or is the in-game chat included as well? That is the only part I used.
Thats a shame - now i need to figure out a way to show me twitch chat whilee in a game and not minimised or multiscreened.
Well the in-built streaming never worked on Linux anyway as you didn't implement it for us, so I have been using OBS Studio anyway, it's really good stuff.
That was due to the Twitch SDK being Mac/Windows only though. But it looks like Twitch chat can also be accessed through IRC or embedding. The latter would be easier, but look out of place, I think. The IRC one is harder to do. At least, I can't easily find a pure JavaScript solution for it. The ones I found seem to need a server that translates IRC to something the JavaScript client can handle. It would probably be easier for Uber to implement it directly into PA itself using C(++) libraries. It's not like they don't have a list with a gazillion things on them.
AFAIK twitch chat is really IRC, it would probably be easy to make IRC client as mod which connects to twitch IRC server.. e. I was assuming that "raw" sockets can be used in modding but I guess I was wrong, can someone confirm?
Yeah, I thought that too, but that doesn't seem to be the case from what I've found so far... WebSockets don't seem to work.
I got idea, weechat (the best irc client ever) supports "relay", it mean it works kind like proxy but it uses uses its own RFC and stuff, you could just use weechat with relay as server and connect to it with WebSocket. I can't really explain it better but I leave this links. http://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html#relay_plugin https://weechat.org/files/doc/devel/weechat_relay_protocol.en.html
Uhm, now that Twitch is gone, and given the number of crashes induced by third party software due to conflicts with the linked Twitch library: Does this mean that most of these incompatibilities are now resolved as well?
