SCdF / orion

Twitch desktop client

Orion

QML/C++-written desktop client for Twitch.tv

Features:

• Login by twitch credentials
• Desktop notifications
• Integrated player
• Chat support
• Support for live streams and vods

Screencaptures

Dependencies

• mpv (default), qtav or qt5-multimedia

Building on linux

(Using arch linux examples, but can be applied to other distros as well)

Install needed libraries and software

sudo pacman -S git gcc qt5-base qt5-quickcontrols qt5-svg qt5-quickcontrols2 mpv

If using backend other than mpv, install those packages instead.

Choosing player backend (optional)

To select a backend used, pass CONFIG-variable a suitable backend for qmake (alternatively edit straight to .pro file):

• MPV: CONFIG+=mpv
• QtAV: CONFIG+=qtav
• Qt5 Multimedia: CONFIG+=multimedia

As default, mpv is used (if nothing is passed)

Get orion from github and install

git clone https://github.com/alamminsalo/orion
cd orion
mkdir build && cd build
qmake ../
make && sudo make install

Windows troubleshooting

You need Visual C++ 2015-runtime installed.

Installer can be found in the application's install directory (I'll make it install automatically in the next version)

Known issues

• If network goes down while Orion is running, the images stop loading until application restart. Otherwise the application should work fine after network is back up
• Sometimes the stream hangs and doesn't load on start. Restarting the stream should work
• Vods are sometimes having issues, skipping some parts of the video. Needs further investigating
