twitch rewards? #226

I notice that the twitch rewards doesn't seem to work when viewing live events. like for example the overwatch league gives out a single token each map you watch live with chances to gain more. would really love to be able to use orion with this as its a more light weight player but it doesn't seem to work when testing now.

Any chance this could be added if their api supports it? not just overwatch that uses this but also dota 2, cs go and im sure more.

I glanced through the twitch api and didn't see anything on this. Honestly i doubt amazon would provide an api for that, Do you know of any other play that is able to do the rewards?

Reward systems that use chat channel presence should work if you are logged in to your Twitch account in Orion. If OWL's rewards don't work, perhaps they're using something new like Twitch Extensions (https://dev.twitch.tv/extensions)? These depend on client side components that normally run in the viewer's web browser; a fair amount of work would be needed to integrate support for arbitrary web components in Orion, and it's not clear to me that supporting that sort of thing is what people would want from a native client.

... although if there's some very small subset of functionality that would enable extensions' presence detection, that might make sense.
