#Skadi v2 Skadi allows you to comfortably watch Twitch channels via streamlink / VLC (or any videoplayer compatible with streamlink) and to enjoy open the Twitch chat of the channels you are watching. Skadi can import the channels you follow from Twitch so you don't have to add them all manually and will display a notification if a channel goes live.

v2 is a rewrite using JavaFX and Java 8 features.

TODO/PLANNED/KNOWN BUGS

see https://github.com/s1mpl3x/skadi/issues If you have a feature request or found a bug, create a new issue (and include the log file if appropriate).

Setup

If Skadi fails to open streams or chats with the default configuration values (see log file or the status bar), you might need to change the paths for Chrome or streamlink in the settings dialog. Often the problem isn't related to Skadi but to streamlink, so you might want to check if streamlink is setup correctly first. The log and config are stored under {user.home}/.skadi/ and in the settings dialog there is a button to open the log.

Usage

launch Skadi via java -jar skadi.jar if a double click on the jar does not work.

Building

Skadi uses maven as build tool. use mvn package to build Skadi, result can be found at target/Skadi-xyz.jar
