Very beta. Uses IRC to grab twitch.tv chat and a list of signed-in viewers. I got really tired of that rather unrelaible Chrome plugin.

Looks very cool and helpful

It seems to be a bit glitchy at the moment, but once its polished up a bit I could definitely see myself using this.
I'll be awaiting future updates.

Very cool. However, the CPU usage is out of control. It was using ~40% of my i7 920! You should look into that. Other than that, nice tool!

TuFFrabit · Jun 18, 2013

Thanks.

I've got a major update on the way in the next few days. Performance improvements and some cool features. You will be able to update your stream's game and title from the app.

TuFFrabit · Jun 19, 2013

New version is up. I had to punt on this one. You can see channel info now, updating is coming in the near future. I didn't want anybody to wait on the performance improvements any longer.

I'm getting an Unhandled exception has occured error. Was wondering if this is a known issue?

TuFFrabit · Aug 16, 2013

When are you getting that error? Is there any other information that accompanies it?

I should mention you need .NET 4.5 to run this.

saigonwheat · Aug 17, 2013

I'm getting it as soon as I move down to Channel and type in the Game name.

TuFFrabit · Aug 18, 2013

Okie dokie. I'll see if I can reproduce that.

just a quick question. I have my Username and password entered. In the Channel section, do I need to do something specifically like #(insert username) or what?

kasatka60 · Aug 20, 2013

Add the Russian's encoding.
Thank you in advance

google translate.

You need to put the twitch channel you want to join in the Channel section. The software won't do anything if you leave that blank.

Hmmm... that should be already working. Everything is in Unicode. I'll check it out.

Is anybody actually using this software? I ask because I plan on being dang near feature complete for the next beta release. After that I will be doing a major UI overhaul. I'd like design input from any active users. Please post suggestions for what you'd like to see with a major redesign.

TuFFrabit · Sep 18, 2013

Ok, so I lied. 0.5.8 isn't the final release before the UI overhaul. It's twitch's fault though. They changed their IRC authentication process. Broke my stuff... lamers.

Hey I'm using your plugin but it just says "Getting viewer list" but it doesnt display their names. I'm really looking for a chat substitute that I can use on my alternate monitor along with showing new viewers. A bonus would be highlighting "new" viewers that just tuned in or making a quiet noise to let you know they just joined.

I got the same problem.
BTW is it able to pop out your chat and set it always on top?
I'm streaming on one monitor so that would be handy ;).
