intro

This little program started out as a tool for a streamer friend who needed a way to automatically display his current stream game and stream title in OBS. (instead of manually editing the text field in OBS) . this was achieved to call the twitch API retrieving the game and title and wwriting it to 2 files. ( streamgame.txt and streamtitle.txt) these 2 files can then be read in by OBS and will automatically update whenever the game and stream title are changed in the twitch dashboard.

while it still have this feature, it has since grown a little bit.

i personally use it to check if my fav streamers are online and see what they're playing, as well as who is watching. i then have the option to watch the stream by clicking the watch button. depending if 'VLC' or 'browser' is, it'll open the stream in vlc or the default browser.

NOTE: to use VLC, livestreamer needs to be installed, as well as the latest VLC nightly build. also a batch file is required. I'll provide a solution for this soon, however the browser options works OK

streamgame.txt and streamtitle.txt files will appear in the directory where the stream monitor executable (streaminfo.exe) is located.
