Restreamer Script: Allow running without a local VLC server #56

Closed timotheeg closed 4 years ago

@blakegong tried the restreamer script on windows but VLC is not liking being told to set up a local server for some reason 😑😢

The reason we have a local VLC server in the first place is so that NEStrisOCR and OBS could both read from the local server, rather than both reading from the twitch servers.

Maybe showing the player is not important, and only OCR really is. Or perhaps loading the twitch stream twice is fine anyway.

I should eventually figure out how to to run VLC in local server mode in windows, but I do not have a windows box 😑 . So in this PR I'm for now adding an option --novlc to the script, to have NEStrisOCR read straight from the twitch URL (which we can just do because openCV rocks 💪)
