Can this be bade into and add in so you need not install a browser plugin.

steveseguin commented 1 year ago

It might be possible to do it for some chat sites; not all though. I've built something for Youtube to do this previously, but Youtube never approved my request to have that feature go live publicly. If I did get approval, it would require signing into your Youtube account via VDO.Ninja or Socialstream, so I could query the chat data.

Using an extension or download to do chat allows me to capture the chat without requiring approval or restriction.

You can scape and download the URL without login or add in. You can do it in the browser it self. ~Maybe can open the site in and hidden iframe?~

steveseguin commented 1 year ago

You can embed the Youtube or Twitch chat into VDO.Ninja already, so that's already an option.

You can scape and download the URL without login or add in. You can do it in the browser it self. I don't understand. Which site?

Maybe this can get and Electron wrapper. This way we we can keep out browser clean without extensions. Will that be easy?

steveseguin commented 1 year ago

I have an Electron app coming. The basics are working, but it will be some time before I can finish the UI.

sirinath commented 1 year ago

It will be cool if the Electron app can just do the special handling and extra steps behind the scene transparent to the user. The user will need to only give the page or channel name.

steveseguin commented 1 year ago

That's how it works, however, without signing in to each site you won't be able to send messages into the chat room - just read only.

While the app 'works', it's still rather needs a lot more work.

Maybe you can ask for username and password.

steveseguin commented 11 months ago

I put up a preview test version of the standalone app, for windows users atm. Feedback/suggestions welcome -- it's still far from "done". https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream/releases/

Support for username/password is possible, but I won't likely add that support in until everything else is working correctly. Every site will be different too, so some may support it and others wont
