Monitor keywords/games #1

Would it be possible to have the script monitor a game's page and/or keywords in the title?

I'd like to record all streams of one game without having to manually startup multiple scripts for individual channels

Yes this is possilbe. However, I'm currently occupied with university + work + another project I'm working on, so don't expect this anytime soon (maybe in a year or so).

But feel free to fork / PR.

Here's what you will need to do:

We need to use threading. Google "background thread python" or something equivalent. Here is a good answer So then we have a main-thread and background-threads. The main-thread watches a "game" (take a look here, e.g. for Dota 2) and starts new background-threads for every stream, who will handle the recording via livestreamer.
