BTTV and FFZ both "work" again but both of them are heavily crippled in functionality and you will have to wait a few more weeks until they have rewritten all the missing features.
Workarounds exist, first one on Twitch itself would be to make use of the "Legacy Pop-Out Chat".
Anything BTTV/FFZ should work in there just as it used to be, downside is just that it is a popped out chat.
Other workaround would be to not use the webchat and instead use a program like Chatty.
Usually comes with similar functions.
The twitch integration is only available to windows. If OP is running on linux, he either have to use a third party app like chatty or painstakingly enable the web plugin and get twitch chat to run for it.
There is another way if you are using a single window. Ghost Chat is an overlay twitch chat. It's way better than having your phone or tablet to monitor chat. Sadly, it's only available on windows.
One can keep the "redvox" Twitch channel open in Chatty every day to check if there's a secret stream or not. It's worth it to see if there's a movie night, music night or something else. I also enjoy the small, chill chat that rarely goes much over 100.
I doubt this specific feature would be useful to many others, other than yourself, but if you look at Chatty's addressbook feature you might be able to utilize it in some way.
I'd suggest using Chatty https://chatty.github.io/
It's very customizable and you can go back into the txt file it creates as a log and do the search you're asking about. I use this as a Mod and it's a godsend. I'm sure others have other suggestions that might work for you as well.
Or, like me, you can use Chatty. https://chatty.github.io/
With this client open, you can see everyone in chat, plus the chat screen.
You can also assign audio clips to Join/Part, post and other notifications.
These alerts can happen at a set time interval so if a chat gets busy there isn't a constant stream of notifications.
I've used it for a couple years now. Wouldn't stream without it.
Totta. Lisäksi itse katselen striimejä yleensä livestreamerillä, en selaimella, joten irc on luontevampi kun se muutenkin on aina auki.
Ei irc-client aivan autuas ole, esimerkiksi emotet eivät toimi. Joku on kyllä pykännyt erillisen clientin, mutta itse toivon jonkun joskus virittelevän plugarin perusclientteihin (irssi nyt itselle tärkein kun se kulkee kätevästi mukana tmuxissa/screenissa, mutta proxykin kävisi).
Käyttömukavuuden kannalta joinit ja partit kannattaa laittaa ignoreen.
This other thread:
Twitch on Firefox Nightly
has some of the suggestions already mentioned by users in this thread.
I notice that a user in this thread mentions:
>https://chatty.github.io/
Seems like a pretty cool application - however I notice that it requires Java installed. I might be wrong, but some people might prefer not to have Java installed.
In the other thread there's a tip about how you can use your regular/preferred chat client to access Twitch chat, courtesy of /u/TIAFAASITICE:
>I think it's also worth noting that Twitch chat is IRC based and can be accessed from any compatible client after getting an OAuth token.
While I don't have a perfect solution, I used chatty (when I did stream anyway) wasn't sure how to separate the noise from the stream but if I got a message it would make a ping that told me someone messaged in chat. Again the downside was the stream heard the pings too I just didn't know how to make it thanonly I could hear the noise. I do believe you can make it come up with a pop up tho, it appears in one of the screen corners. So it can pop up with a white box and make a ping if you desire that.
> I don't even know if streamers can see how long you've been in their chat though.
Twitch chat utilizes IRC, so there are JOIN
and LEAVE
broadcasts in the channel that can be received by every IRC client (chat participant). Twitch chat is an IRC client that just happens to not display them. But there are many IRC clients around, such as Chatty, who will display them. So yes, it is possible to "track" people in any stream channel.
As far as the "lurking in offline chat" is concerned: That's definitely not something people are usually mad about. It actually shows a healthy chat if people talk before and/or after the stream, I'd say. It's a community after all.
I think it's more likely you got banned for "snooping around" while the streamer was upset about whatever you mentioned.
Along with what OstrichVsUnicorn said, you can also set up Chatty and just have it running on your computer. Link your Twitch account and then just have it sit in Warframe's twitch channel non-stop, so even if you aren't home or decide to take a break for a few weeks/months, you will still get stuff.
I have the same issue. I sometimes won't notice someone chatting until like 20 minutes later. You can get a little program called Chatty and link it to your account, and you'll be able to set up audio and pop up notifications for whatever you want. There's plenty of video tutorials on it.
Can you compare and contrast with Chatty? https://chatty.github.io/
I've been using that for ages, particularly due to being a moderator for Desert Bus, since it's got very good features for moderating.
so, twitch chat is IRC-based. it's a program i use anyways, so i just have hexchat open and can see what anyone says on the event that i am streaming.
however.. allow me to introduce -- https://chatty.github.io/
so this nifty little program (free, open-source, and actively developed) is an IRC client built specifically for twitch. it has mod commands and emotes, frankerz, along with tons and tons of useful goodies, and so forth.
so, with an IRC client, you can join other channels chats, too. so if you were a mod in another stream you could use the mod tools and monitor chat, but not have to be physically watching the stream.. or even if you weren't a mod you can still chat and have your browser to use for work/movies/whatever.
if i were a full time streamer i would have this application open 24/7 on my communications monitor. browsers have a lot of over-head, this is lightweight executable that makes a TCP connection which sends and receives text.
if you wanted to have a chat-overlay that showed up on your stream, just pop-out your channel's chat, customize, resize, and then capture with OBS.
to connect you just make an API key or whatever it's called.. i'm sure there's some instructions on that site that will let you know how. it's a super simple, create once and leave alone kind of thing. aha, look what i found https://chatty.github.io/help/help-getting-started.htm
anyways, enjoy!
If you’re not a mod or the streamer, your best bet would just be looking through VOD chat replay.
For future scenarios, you can set up something like Chatty to log messages. Just leave the stream chat open and it’ll do its thing as messages come in.
Chatty as in https://chatty.github.io/? I've never used it before - what makes that the "most ideal"? Is it "secure"? It seems like it's targeted at a much different audience. From what I understand, Matrix looks like one of the better options for unifying different messengers.
Same here. But I use a free program called Chatty and there's a setting on there you can have it play a sound everytime someone types on chat, that way I don't miss anything if a lurker asks a question and I can answer before they leave lol.
There's Streamlink Twitch GUI if you want to use it with, well, a graphical interface.
Streamlink + Chatty offer a much better Twitch experience than the default app (on Windows/Mac) or website, IMO.
I use Chatty client and it auto logs everything. You just need to click on the persons name. I had to change a lot of settings to make it feel like default twitch chat. It also doesn't get as updated as frequently as Chatterino so that kinda sucks.
The didn't stop sending notifications but the notification system is spotty at best. On some days it'll work just fine and then you'll have periods where it sends out delayed notifications or not at all. It's the reason why I now use Chatty instead for stream notifications, so far it's been far more reliable.
No ad blocking then, unfortunately. Streamlink is another good option but takes a bit of setup, optionally you can add a GUI to it and you will have to use a 3rd party chat application, such as Chatty.
It is a bit of a pain to set up. You will need chatty or a popped out chat window for chat; however, the performance is worth it once you get through all the hoops. The streamlink install does a good job explaining everything.
https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/happy-hahahalidays shows how it is broken down per sub/cheer and the amount of emotes given.
It’s quite simple to get them, as a matter of fact I just finished getting the 25th one needed an hour or so ago by lurking in female just chatting streams with birthday/bday/subathon/anything I thought would gain attention in their titles. IRC client can connect to as many chats as you want making the process of getting the emotes very fast
You can use chatty to connect to your channel and just have it minimized. You can set up notifications for individual users to play a sound if you wanted to. Check under Settings->Window->Notification. Add an event for the chat message and use the prefix user:'username'. Think its case sensitive and no space.
For example:
user:CalmDownBrah
When you open up the chat do you see the message "Welcome to the chat room!"? If you don't then something went wrong with connecting to the chat.
You could also look into separate chat clients like Chatty or Chatterino. I personally use Chatty.
Chatty is probably the best known and supported program. There is another called Chatterino.
Twitch uses IRC for its chat platform, so you can use any IRC program, but Twitch has its own twist on things for emotes/bits/cheers and so on that you wouldn't get with a plain IRC client.
I'm actually a developer tho, and have written my own. Its not currently available for download as of yet. Still working on the details, but it does well enough for 99.9% of what I need. I use Chatty as a backup.
Yes, but no. Mods can't do it, only editors. An editor can be a mod though.
Editors have access to your "live dashboard", "Video Producer" and "Events". That means they can change title, category and tags, they can also upload premiers, start reruns, do highlights and start events.
To add editor: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/Managing-Roles-for-your-Channel#manage
An alternative to giving everyone you want to be able to tag kills to editor is to use either Chatty which has another solution for markers with stream highlight/marker
(info in docs) or setup a chatbot with a command that adds a new line to a textfile the uptime at the time of the command being executed. You could also have a shared access google drive (or similar) document, but that would be quite annoying to manage.
I've never had an issue with ads using Streamlink Twitch GUI
You can use it to pass the stream to your favorite media player, supports all the usual twitch functions, for twitch chat you can either have streamlink open a new browser window, or you can install a program such as Chatty and authenticate your twitch account with that too.
When worse comes to worse you can always start using Streamlink Twitch GUI, potentially combined with Chatty (or a similar program) for Chat with FrankerFaceZ and BTTV emote support.
It's an alternative chat client for Twitch without using your browser. It basically takes no internet at all so it's pretty useful for me (plus some features which make it "easier" to moderate a channel I guess). Here's a link if you're interested, I quite like it: https://chatty.github.io
​
Best thing i've used is a tiny program called Chatty that not many people seem to know about.
Basically a teeny IRC client that you can stick on top, doesnt use any resources really, can be in multiple channels at once, and you still have full mod control
That way i dont need to pop out any windows, or keep a browser tab open etc, i can even update my stream info from it
Get chatty client, it's an open source twitch chat with lots of features including integration with livestreamer (for watching twitch through VLC). Also it's made by a speedrunner https://chatty.github.io/
