Add Streamer doesn't seem to work anymore. #67

I just wanted to try the fixes you did for #65 on master. (Sorry for the late reply btw.) But instead I ran into another problem. As I said before, I don't use the addon with my twitch account, because I don't have a twitch account and do not want one. I just add streamers manually to the settings list by clicking add streamer and typing their name. This doesn't seem to work anymore for any streamers in the current version of the extension. I can add the name to the list, but it doesn't seem to fetch anything with it from twitch. Even in the settings the logo of the streamer doesn't show up anymore. And active streams of these accounts are also not showing up in the panel itself. I tried it with multiple streamers that were currently streaming. I tried adding them by login and also by display name.

Sadly, Twitch no longer supports the api in client code without having an oauth key. The alternative would be, that I personally provide a Webservice that wraps the API and authenticates against twitch, which is beyond what I am currently able to provide.

I am not happy about that either.

Ok. Thx for the quick response! I think it's really sad that more and more api's seem to hide behind auth tokens.

I reopened this as (1) other people might look for that info and (2) I might provide that service. Thinking about it, it might not be too hard. But it might take one or two weeks, depending how hard I want to avoid working on my thesis :D
