twitch.tv !

hey i would like to watch live streams from twitch.tv

maybe its possible to make a plugin for that

for example any livestream from the main page http://de.twitch.tv/

thx !

Twitich.tv is using Justin.tv to produce live streams. There has been some discussion on Justin.tv here.

/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4638&p=31623&hilit=justin.tv#p31623

I would love to know how to make Justin.tv and Livestream.com work.

come on guys, so many streams seem to work, someone please make twitch, or own3d.tv work
:/

thx

Version 2.4 of libRTMP seems not sufficient for playing justin.tv / twitch.tv. Support for their UsherToken mechanism has been added after the 2.4 release.

I did the following on Ubuntu 12.04 to get ffmpeg to play twitch.tv:

  Code:

# Add real rtmp support to ffmpeg
sudo aptitude install libavcodec-extra-53 libavformat-extra-53

# Install librtmp0 and rtmpdump from debian testing for justin.tv/twitch.tv support
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rtmpdump/librtmp0_2.4+20111222.git4e06e21-1_amd64.deb
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rtmpdump/rtmpdump_2.4+20111222.git4e06e21-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i librtmp0_2.4+20111222.git4e06e21-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i rtmpdump_2.4+20111222.git4e06e21-1_amd64.deb
rm librtmp0_2.4+20111222.git4e06e21-1_amd64.deb
rm rtmpdump_2.4+20111222.git4e06e21-1_amd64.deb

The parameters required for playing can be found on http://jangeldmacher.wordpress.com/2011 ... lc-player/. The parameter format for ffmpeg is different however. The following worked for me:

  Code:

rtmp://%s/%s/%s pageUrl=%s swfUrl=%s swfVfy=1 jtv=%s live=1

See the last paragraph of the description on http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/librtmp.3.html to see how to escape the usher token properly.

I would also very much like a plugin for the twitch.tv site.
It's more and more used for publishing live user-generated content - and I'd like to watch it from my tv screen .

Any chance anyone can make a plugin for it? It would be greatly appreciated!
