A Twitch chat overlay for streamers to follow their stream chat while gaming.

twitchoverlay's Issues

Improve customization options

Make things like message fadeout, text size, avatars, timestamps, and such configurable.

An option to alter opacity, or add a background behind the text of some opacity/colour might be a nice touch too.

No WebView plug-in found!

an error i got and havent managed to open the program

idk how to fix it

Reconfiguring Authkey, Channel, or Username currently requires a restart to take effect.

As stated, TwitchOverlay must be restarted before it will honour new Twitch chat settings.

How can I install it with qt creator and where is it located?

Maybe I'm to dumb,but I never used qt creator,so how can I install it?
I opened the TwitchOverlay.qbs in qt creator and clicked on build>Build Project "TwitchOverlay",but I don't know if it's even installed and where I can find it.

TwitchOverlay.qbs missing

Your Readme says we should open TwitchOverlay.qbs but it appears to not be inside this repository?

More streaming platform support

It would be awesome adding more streaming platforms to this e.g. Youtube, Facebook,... and it would be even better to support multiple at the same time so for example Twitch and Youtube comments are mixed with a logo at the front or maybe different colored backgrounds. Similar to what restream.io does for windows.

Chat sometimes stops scrolling after repositioning/resizing on Win10

The chat box contents overflow below the visible area on Windows 10 if the chat window is repositioned to be smaller. A restart seems to remedy the issue, which is why the reposition is suspected to be the culprit.

Replace Authkey with an easier to use OAuth account linking system

Rather than requiring users to get their own OAuth2 token on that Twitch Token Generator site, it would be nice to just use Twitch's own "Link account" button (as Streamlabs OBS does) to simply login to their Twitch account and approve TwitchOverlay to access chat on their behalf.

Can you add it to the Arch User Repository?

I'm to dumb to install it with qt creator.
And I could manage it better if it would be in the aur like every other program on my system.

Not Authenticating

Twitch Key Authentication not working.

Embedded Browser Not Displaying

I built your program using QtCreator, and as far as I can tell, after some adjustments to my compositor and setting an exception for this application, it works. However, what I imagine is meant to be an embedded browser window when I click "Link Twitch Account", does not work. All I get is a white screen. Do you know why this is? I can try to fix this on my own, but am not really sure where to start. I'd really like to use your program, because twitch overlays for Linux are surprisingly hard to find. Either way, thanks for writing this. If I manage to get it working on my own, I'll mention what I changed.

Twitch chat colours for respective users

Though this will likely involve migrating from the qml-sockets+IRC method of connecting to Twitch chat, it would be nice for the colours assigned to chatters on the Twitch stream to carry over onto the overlay.

Superficial research suggests this can be accomplished using the WebSocket backend with tags.

Sound notification on message received

Play a little ding or something when there's a chat message

Emoticon support

Although it's a bit of a nightmare, it should be possible to implement since other systems seem to do with relatively elegantly.

For now, TwitchOverlay doesn't even recognise emoticon tags much less have a means of looking them up.

Overlay sometimes takes focus resulting in a Black Screen glitch on Windows 10

Although unconfirmed on other platforms, it seems the Overlay will sometimes have focus. Although it isn't explicitly requesting it, it's possible some anti-focus flags aren't being set correctly, or the desktop is implicitly giving TwitchOverlay focus.

The result is the overlay otherwise working normally but on a plain black background.

Clicking anywhere on the screen, Alt+Tab, or some other way of selecting a focus application seems to work around the issue and resumes normal operation.

Can't link my account

When I click "Link Twitch" the window just appears blank, I have no option to link my account, thus cannot connect to the chat.
