Twitch VOD/Clip/Chat downloader and chat renderer I wrote.

THIS USES UNDOCUMENTED API ENDPOINTS, MAY BREAK EASILY. I'LL TRY AND UPDATE WHEN IT DOES.

• Download Twitch VODs
• Download Twitch Clips
• Download chat for VODS and Clips, in either a JSON with all the information or a simple text file
• Use a previously generated JSON chat file to render the chat with FFZ and BTTV support (including GIFS)

• Fix bugs that slipped by
• More options for chat rendering

Sorry, the GUI version is only avaliable for Windows :(

The CLI is cross platform and performs the main functions of the program. It works on Windows and Linux, but has not been tested on MacOS.

Documentation here.

I've never really made a command line utility before so things may change in the future. If you're on Linux, make sure fontconfig and libfontconfig1 are installed (apt-get install fontconfig libfontconfig1).

For example, you could copy/paste this into a .bat file on Windows, to download a VOD, chat, and then render in a single go.

@echo off
set /p vodid="Enter VOD ID: "
TwitchDownloaderCLI -m VideoDownload --id %vodid% --ffmpeg-path "ffmpeg.exe" -o %vodid%.mp4
TwitchDownloaderCLI -m ChatDownload --id %vodid% -o %vodid%_chat.json
TwitchDownloaderCLI -m ChatRender -i %vodid%_chat.json -h 1080 -w 422 --framerate 30 --update-rate 0 --font-size 18 -o %vodid%_chat.mp4

1. Go to Releases and download the latest version for Linux.
2. Extract TwitchDownloaderCLI
3. Browse to where you extracted the file and give it executable rights in Terminal:

sudo chmod +x TwitchDownloaderCLI

4. You can now start using the donwloader, for example:

TwitchDownloaderCLI -m VideoDownload --id <vod-id-here> -o out.mp4

For Arch Linux, there's an AUR Package
