Can't watch Twitch streams anonymously anymore #649

Open christophehenry opened 2 years ago

christophehenry commented 2 years ago

Since one of the last updates, the Twitch plugin pops up a message telling to generate a OAuth token.

It appears I can't use it without being connected to Twitch anymore, even though I could just a few months ago. I don't have, nor don't want to have a Twitch account which renders this plugin useless to me. Has something changed in Twitch's APIs to justify that move? Surprisingly I couldn't find an issue specifically about watching streams anonymously. Am I the only person to do that?

Unfortunately yes, Twitch discontinued their legacy API and the new one doesn't work without a user token. https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.twitch/issues/615#issuecomment-1042411504

Your only options are to create a throwaway account or to stop using the addon.

Erf… I feared that. Ok, thank you.

Ok, so Twitch is also dead. An workaround can be to use mpv or an other external video player to run this in kodi -> https://kodi.wiki/view/External_players

I think this issue can be closed :-/

I use liveproxy these days. Maybe you like it too. Not very flexible but it’s very stable for me.
