Twitch Video Downloader

Script that downloads the last VOD from a Twitch channel and uploads it to a private Google Drive. It requires TwitchDownloader installed on your machine.

Why?

• I want to play with Go
• I want to download the previous night VOD of a streamer to watch it while commuting, since the connection in the train is bad...

Prerequisites

• Install Go
• Install TwitchDownloader
• On Twitch
  • Register a new application from the dev portal
  • Note down the client id and client secret
• On Google Cloud
  • Create a new project from the Google Cloud Console
  • Add the private Gmail user address to the test users
  • Add the Google Drive API service
  • Create a service account
  • Generate and store a JSON key for that account

Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/pippokairos/twitch-video-downloader.git

Set the environment variables

Just copy the .env.example file to .env and fill the variables.

Build the executable

go build

Run the script

./twitch-video-downloader

With options:

Example:

./twitch-video-downloader -name dada -quality 360p -start 3600 -end 7200

Note: the script will delete all the other files from that channel

Contribute...?

This is just a very simple application I wrote to play with Go, there are already more complete solutions out there and I'm not aiming to expand this library's capabilities so there's no guideline for contributing. But hey, if you'd like to make additions, feel free to do so.
