@SasiRawr SasiRawr released this 23 Aug 16:29

The first public build of SignalBox. It keeps your Twitch category matching
the game you're actually playing — and asks first when it isn't sure.

Preview build. SignalBox is in daily use and works, but it hasn't been
through a wide public test yet. Expect rough edges, and please
open an issue if you hit one.

Install

  1. Download SignalBox-Setup-0.2.6.exe below.
  2. Close OBS, then run it.
  3. Open OBS → View → Docks → SignalBox Category Monitor.
  4. Connect Twitch in the dock — you get a short code to enter on Twitch's own
    site. SignalBox never sees your password.

Requires OBS Studio 30+, 64-bit Windows.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will warn you: More info
→ Run anyway
, or build it from source.

What it does

  • Detects your game from each store's own metadata — Steam, Epic, GOG, Ubisoft
    Connect, and a Windows registry fallback. No filename guessing.
  • Sets your Twitch category when it's confident, and asks when it isn't.
    Prompts are panels in the dock — never a pop-up, never a modal, and nothing
    that can tab you out of a fullscreen game. Ignoring one always just holds
    your current category.
  • Fix This! corrects a wrong detection permanently — pick the right
    category for that app, or tell it never to switch for that app.
  • Stream Ending/Stop Detection holds your category while you wrap up, and
    clears itself when the stream stops or a new game starts.
  • Just Chatting sets your fallback category in one click.
  • Drops a Twitch stream marker on every category change, so your VOD is
    chaptered.

New in 0.2.6

  • Check for updates now reports what it found in the activity log, instead
    of silently doing nothing. When there's a newer version the button becomes
    Get v0.x.y and opens that release.
  • The version in the dock footer links to the release notes.
