[StateOfTheArt]

Hey,

I'm new to xbmc and I really like the amount of add-ons, but there was one thing missing for me: A working twitch.tv plugin.
So i just built one by myself (with parts of the justin.tv plugin). It's already posted on the german website http://www.xbmcnerds.com, but i wanted to present it to a bigger crowd.

So here it is: https://github.com/StateOfTheArt89/Twitch.tv-on-XBMC/

The newest versions are to be found at github. The last release, considered stable, can be downloaded via the official xbmc repo (Just look for twitch.tv in the video add-on section).

If you experience any issues or want new features to be added, please tell via github or this forum.

Hope you guys like it

Edit 2013-03-21: removed the download link.

This needs to be bumped so that more people will find out about it.

Great plugin, however I do have one suggestion. I tried watching EVO on this, and because this defaults to highest quality I wasn't able to watch(720 required subscription). If you had an option to change the resolution, it would solve that issue.

[Ommand]

Yea I'd like to see that as well.

I get user toke error when I try to use this plugin.

You'll get user token error if there are higher quality streams that require an account.

Sometimes when I click on streams, nothing happens, other times when I click on streams I either get an error telling me to check logs or gives me the user token error, even when I have my account info put in. Keep in mind from what I see, it only asks for the username and not the password.

I have a log for the 2 times I've tried click on a stream and nothing happens. Other info: XBMC version 11 on Apple TV 2. I've also deleted and tried to reinstall the plugin, this has not helped.

Here's the log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=6430

Thanks for any support.

I get user toke error when I try to use this plugin.

This and similar errors should be fixed in the new version. It occoured, when you try to access "premium streams". Now the addon choses the best video quality available for free and plays the content anyway. These changes should be added in the official repository very soon.

I also added a "featured streams" section to the addon.

Hope you guys like it.

Cheers, StateOfTheArt

Just got an auto update, featured streams is a good addition. Good idea making best available option to bypass having to change it.

Yeah, you're right. I struggled with the images i got from the twitch.tv api (I wasn't sure if the different image formats were a result of the xbmc caching mechanism. i changed the selected images a lot, while i was testing the script.). Your screenshots look great - you can do a pull request on github if you want.

The plugin only needs your username to get the streams you "follow". (So thats right )
It seems to be a problem with librtmp (maybe a old version?). Which version of xbmc are you using and which os?

Using xbmcbuntu. So that's ubuntu 12.04 with xbmc Eden I believe.

[edit]Tried updating, did not make any difference

[edit2]Tried compiling from git source and that appears to have solved the problem, thanks . Still don't see the channels I follow though
