Based on this python program, but uses the current twitch API, doesn't use ncurses (bleh) and is written in rust (wooo). The UI is massively based on that.

I originally tried to just rewrite the networking bits of the python program to work with the current twitch API, but then I realised that I hate weak typing, so I completely rewrote it.

Still uses streamlink for streams, but can alsp use your specified player (ffplay by default (you can set it at the top of src/config.rs)) for clips and VODs.

I did this instead of revising.

• Very configurable (see src/config.rs)
• Displays broadcaster colours where possible
• Many varied pages (any of these can also be your home page):
• • Shelves: main home page
• • PersonalSection: the bit on the left on the webapp
• • Game: categories (the API refers to them as games)
• • Search: you know
• You can watch streams, clips and VODs at any quality

This program also supports read-only chat via irc. It supports some basic features:

• Displays notices
• Displays users' colours
• Displays some badges (most of the colours here depend on your terminal theme):
• • Predictions
• • Sub badges are displayed as sub/{months subbed for}
• • Partner (verified) is displayed as a ✓ with a magenta background
• • Twitch premium is a 👑 with a blue background
• • Moderator badges are a 🗡️ with a green background
• • "Moments" badges are displayed as a 📷 with the background depending on the number of moments
• • "no audio" badges are a 🔇 with a black background
• • "no video" badges are a 👁 with a black background and strikethrough
• • "sub gifter" badges are a 🎁 with the colour depending on the number of gifted subs
• • VIP badges are a 💎 with a light magenta background

It currently lacks the following that I probably won't add, since they won't benefit me (PRs are welcome):

• Can't display arbritrary badges.
• No scrollback
• You can't log in or chat

Controls for chat are just left/right arrow keys to change tabs and q to quit.

$ cargo run # Optionally `--release`

If you don't want to see chat, you can run:

$ cargo run --no-default-features # Optionally `--release`

Enjoy the following pseudocode:

match key {
  'Q' => quit,
  UpArrow | 'J' => up,
  DownArrow | 'K' => down,
  PageUp => page up,
  PageDown => page down,
  RightArrow | 'L' => match current_selection {
    Stream => play stream with streamlink,
    Game/Category => display streams under category,
    Clip => play clip with player,
    Video => play VOD with player,
  },
  LeftArrow | 'B' => go back,
  'H' => go back to home,
  '+' => increase default quality,
  '-' => decrease default quality,
  'S' | '/' => open search box, until enter key is pressed,
  'R' => refresh page,
}
