Self-hosted cam recording site code?
I can't quite tell what you're asking for but check out https://streamlink.github.io/. Source: 5 months ago
Use me if as a "i don't care about the kick drama it works fine i like the stream" button
Streamlink has very detailed and newbie friendly documentation. Here's the plugin you'd need to scrape Kick links. Source: 10 months ago
Alternate Player for Twitch.tv
It's broken at the moment due to the update that killed the Alternate Player but Streamlink should be a good solution, it's active so it should be fixed soon and uses VLC or other compatible media players and Chatterino or Chatty for chat. Source: 11 months ago
PSA on supporting streamers
If you're okay with command-line interfaces, I find Streamlink is very good for this - I've never had to wait for any ad breaks when using it (but I almost never use it since I primarily use Twitch on mobile) so YMMV. Source: 11 months ago
Youtube livestream to Frigate/RTSP stream?

Why is Twitch running without my opening it or having it in my "recents"? I have autostart turned to "deny" so I have no idea why it still autostarts by itself. Multiple apps do this encluding TikTok, Chrome, Facebook, messager, LinkedIn, etc. Everytime they run I have to manually force stop it.
Use Twire (Free and open Twitch browser and stream player) instead. Source: over 2 years ago
Are there any other clients for twitch?
This app is only available on F-Droid here. The app on Google Play here is a copycat according to the original developer. Please report it if you have a Google account. Source: over 2 years ago
