Twitch Channels and RSS feeds

frrobert · 07-01-2020, 11:36 AM

I was wondering if there are RSS feeds for channels on twitch.tv?

I hate the twitch website. It makes me want to twitch.

But there are a few channels I like. Once I find something I want to watch I view it in mpv. If I could just add RSS feeds to Newsboat I would be set. That is what I did for YouTube and it works great.

Thanks.

I can't remember any RSS option, but I think (!) that you could theoretically run an IRC bot that scans for something in the channel, unless Twitch changed that (you used to be able to connect to twitch chat via IRC), but again I can't remember if streams showed up in text form.

Other than that, I agree, I don't like Twitchs site either.

You can try a Twitch RSS bridge:
