Twitch.tv-Plex-Plugin

A plugin for Plex Media Server to allow streaming of Twitch.tv live streams across your home network. You can select from a list of Twitch's featured streams, streams filtered by game and from searching for a stream by keyword.

Installation

Note: If you encounter a "File not found" or "Failed to open source" error when attempting to play a stream, please install Fix-Twitch.tv-Plex-Plugin located at https://github.com/pencil/Fix-Twitch.tv-Plex-Plugin

Once this fix gets applied to the JustinTV service handler located in Services.bundle this extra plugin will not be needed but, since the Services.bundle loads before this plugin, we cannot override the service handler to correct it in this plugin.

Download a copy of the code from: https://github.com/pejoo/Twitch.tv-Plex-Plugin/zipball/master

Extract the zip file then copy the Twitch.tv.bundle to your Plex Media Server's Plugins folder

• Windows: C:\Users%USER%\Appdata\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins
• OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/

The Twitch.tv video channel should begin appearing on your Plex Media Server now.

If you find any bugs, please submit them as issues to this GitHub project and I will look into them as soon as I can.

Changing stream quality.

Is there a way to change the quality of the streams where available, as is able to be done when viewing streams on their website?

Streaming from Roku HD box Strange

I have the plugin installed on an iMac running 10.8 with PMS fully updated and the Twitch plugin installed. I have the latest version of Flash as well. When I try to play a stream, I can hear the audio from the stream on my iMac, but on my television, all I see is retrieving, and the loading bar is stuck about a third of the way through.

Data is corrupted on PS3

Trying to watch streams on my PS3 and I get Data is corrupted Error.

Streams don't load

When I try loading any stream, it stays on the loading screen with the cancel button indefinitely. Seems to not work at all anymore.

Cannot load M3U8: crossdomain access denied

I have seen that you have closed this in the past but do you think that maybe if you utilize the livestreamer sourcecode that maybe you could get around the crossdomain.xml?
Maybe using livestreamer binaries to stream to the plugin?

Add support for logging in to set appropriate cookie values to allow playback of premium content.

No video in mobile plex app

Audio comes through but no video. Just a blue purple gradient where the video should be. I'm using galaxy note 8 (jb 4.2.2). And note 2 (jb 4.3)

Works great on 12.04 Ubuntu server version 0.9.6.18 with Windows plex client.

Thanks so much for this awesome sauce! :-D

EDIT: I tried streaming from my note 2, to my Roku 3 and windows desktop client, and they worked! The blue/purple gradient still shows on the phone, but twitch plays beautifully on the Roku/desk client. However, it did not stream to my chromecast. On my TV, it showed the profile page of the twitch user I was trying to view for a couple of seconds, then goes to black, no audio or video. But the notification panel on note 2 shows that it is still casting to my chromecast.

Stream stops and switches to another stream

While watching Theoddone, and strangely it only seems to happen with his channel, I have had troubles with stream stability. The stream will load, then 1 to 5 minutes later it will pause and load the stream directly below it on the list.

Plugin stopped working: failed to open source

The plugin used to work for me, but now I'm unable to watch any stream. Browsing the list of available streams still works. When I try to access a stream however, I get a "Please wait" which disappears shortly after. In the log file I see:

Channel starts streaming and after 1-2min it ends

I think this occured on the "official" plugin

Cannot play on ChromeCast

I just installed your plugin and it works like a charm when I use Plex Home Theater, however, it does not work when I use the ChromeCast, it loads forever. I can see the channel there, fetch the list of games, but when I click start it just forever loads. I have also tried using the plugin with Chrome and Firefox with the Plex Media Server's Web Client and when I am about to start a stream, I get the error M3U8: crossdomain access denied (that might be another issue).

ChromeCast: forever loading
Plex Home Theater: Works
Web client on Chrome/Firefox: M3U8 error

"crossdomain access denied" error in web app

When trying to view a stream in the web player I get an error, "Cannot load M3U8: crossdomain access denied" Works fine when using the plex home theater application. I'm guessing this is a browser security problem. Is there any way to fix that?

Linux support?

I tryed to put the Twitch.tv.bundle directory in /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/
but in the server (after a reboot) there isn't the new channel, i have to do something else to add the channel in the server?
Can it work with linux PMS or is not compatible?
Thanks for the answer :)

"File not found"

Hi,

Just came across this plugin and managed to install it without any problems.
But when I try to open a stream it loads for a couple of seconds and then I receive an error: "File not found!" on all streams.

Also when I try to open the "Followed" list it says "No data available" all the time. (I entered my username in the Plexweb).

Any ideas?
Running Plex Media Server 0.9.8.13 on a Samsung SmartTV UE5F8005.

Cannot load M3U8: Crossdomain Access Denied

After installing this plugin, the twitch channel appears on all of my devices (tablet, phone, http://plex.tv/web/app). Unfortunately, when I try to play a channel from the tablet/phone, the app simply buffers and when I try to play a channel from http://plex.tv/web/app, I encounter the error "Cannot load M3U8: Crossdomain Access Denied.
