Twitch integration

[tobias-strenger]

(suggestion) Next to the username, indicate whether a livestream is available for this player. Add the option "watch live stream" to the context menu in addition to the "watch game" option.

How to we know if ppl have a twitch stream?

[tobias-strenger]

ppl have to link their account
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication
you can get the live status using the stream endpoint https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-streams

Well such a links needs to be built u say...?

[1-alex98]

Then that's the wrong project to open an issue

[tobias-strenger]

im not sure if i get what you mean by building a link in this case. obviously ppl have to confirm somewhere that the same person is behind twitch and faf acc. however, if you know which account you can simply check the status via api call. it returns an empty object in case the player is not streaming

[1-alex98]

That would need website/api/db changes... Think that is a little overkill but that would be needed for such a simple feature I am afraid. First it needs integration there.

[bukajsytlos]

and then integrate in client, right? so why closed?

axel1200 likes to look for a reason to close.

[1-alex98]

yes I do

[1-alex98]

Because issues become useless once they reach a certain count. And if stuff is not really worth the effort then I normally close them :D

From my perspective on top of the integration into the db and api this would also require constantly checking twitch to see if people were streaming which is a bit much for the chat user list and not likely to happen.
