⚠️⚠️⚠️

Until Twitch implements websocket eventsub, a public facing HTTPS server is required for this application to function.

A reverse proxy is a good way to get around this:

etc. I have only tested this with Nginx and letsencrypt.

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Features

  • Automatic VOD recording around when the stream goes live, instead of checking it every minute like many other scripts do.
    • Because of notification delays, the stream usually starts capturing after ~2 minutes after the stream goes live.
  • Cyclic recording, as in when a specified amount or storage per streamer is reached, the oldest stream gets deleted.
  • Tons of metadata, maybe too much. Stores info about games played, stream titles, duration, if the stream got muted from copyrighted music, etc.
  • Chapters (titles and games) are written to the final video file.
  • Video player with chat playback.
  • Video cutter with chapter display for easy exporting, also cuts the downloaded chat for synced rendering.
  • Notifications with optional speech when the website is open, get stream live notifications far earlier than the mobile app does.
  • Writes a losslesscut compatible csv file for the full VOD so you don't have to find all the games.
  • Uses ts instead of mp4 so if the stream or program crashes, the file won't be corrupted.
  • Audio only support.
  • Optionally either dumps chat while capturing or downloads the chat file after it's done.
  • Basic tools for downloading any VOD, chat, or clip.
  • Can be set to automatically download the whole stream chat to a JSON file, to be used in my twitch-vod-chat webapp or automatically burned in with TwitchDownloader.
  • Basic webhook support for external scripting.
  • Notifications over the browser, telegram, and discord.
  • Exporting of videos to external file, SFTP, and YouTube.

One high-profile streamer VOD of 10 hours at 1080p60 is about 30-50GB.

Post issues/help on the issues tab above. I already run an up to date version, so starting fresh might break stuff.


Migration from the PHP version

Move the folders cache, config, logs, payloads, and storage to a new folder called data in the root of the application, or place them anywhere else on the filesystem and use the --dataroot argument to tell the server where to look for them.

Docker setup

Reminder that i don't use docker myself on my capturing setup, so any specific errors to this are hard to test.

Docker hub

  1. Download the docker-compose.yml file and place it in a directory.
  2. Run docker-compose pull and docker-compose up -d to start it.
  3. Visit the webapp at localhost:8082
  4. Check stored vods in the /data/storage directory. Permissions might be an issue.

Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/mrbrax/twitchautomator

The dockerhub build is preconfigured to be hosted at the root (/) and such, does not work when placed in a subdirectory.

Manual build

Run docker-compose up --build -d in the app directory. The docker-compose.yml file is required.

If you want the public webapp to have a custom base folder, you must provide BASE_URL and VUE_APP_BASE_URL in the environment variable settings.


Standalone setup

Main requirements

  • node.js 14+
  • npm and yarn
  • HTTPS enabled with a valid certificate on the default port 443
  • Python 3.7+
  • pip
  • FFmpeg
  • MediaInfo
  • TwitchDownloader (optional for chat downloading and burning)
  • Public facing webserver (nginx, apache, etc) for reverse proxy (optional)

pip packages

Steps

  1. Place the downloaded files in a folder with good permissions.
  2. Enter the root folder and run pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Build the packages
    • Enter the /client-vue folder and run yarn install and yarn run build.
    • Enter the /server folder and run yarn install and yarn run build.
    • Enter the /twitch-chat-dumper folder and run yarn install and yarn run build.
    • Enter the /twitch-vod-chat folder and run yarn install and yarn run build.
  4. In the /server folder, run yarn run start to start the server in production mode.
  5. Go to the settings page and set up basic stuff, get api key from twitch dev site.
  6. Check the About page for subscription status.
  7. Check stored vods in the /data/storage directory. Permissions might be an issue.

Follow this guide to hackjob nginx: https://serversforhackers.com/c/nginx-php-in-subdirectory

Command line arguments

--port <number>

Specify port to run the server on.

--debug

Run the server in debug mode.

--dataroot <path>

Specify the data directory to use.

--home

Store the data in the home directory.


Environment variables

TCD_ENABLE_FILES_API=1

Enable the files api, making it possible to download and delete files in storage. This might open up filesystem exploits.

TCD_EXPOSE_LOGS_TO_PUBLIC=1

Make viewing logs in the file manager possible. Requires the above environment variable to be set.

TCD_MIGRATE_OLD_VOD_JSON=1

Migrate old vod json files to the new format. This is automatically done when the server starts. Make sure to back up your data before doing this, as it will overwrite the old files and can't be undone. Bugs might occur, so use with caution.
