Unable to use gnome-twitch #366

Closed jambocurious closed 6 years ago

jambocurious commented 6 years ago

Hi! So I found this project and decided to try it out on my Ubuntu 18.04. First I tried to install it just with "apt-get install gnome-twitch" together with some backend players packages for ubunty ( f.e. gnome-twitch-player-backend-mpv-opengl ). It works, but I had the error about stream access. After looking in the issues I found that this is caused by ability of twitch to use https now. So I downloaded the latest version of the gnome-twitch from git and compile it myself, while removing the one that was installed before. Now I don't have any player backends. I tried all the instructions from the manual page, but still cannot install the backends. So on the one hand from linux repositories i can get working solution with twitch "bad request" error, on the other hand i have compiled from git version without this error but without player backends too. Can you help me what I am doing wrong?

I saw this both threads before writing previous post. But what actually helped me is to install from this repository gnome-twitch 0.4.2. After that i was able to install corresponding player backends, but as was raised in the previous issue, on Ubuntu 18.04, opengl works only text and audio, the same as clutter, cairo opens in separate window. I am using mpv now, works fine with minor lags.
