This is a simple hostbot that will automatically host a list of given channels, sorted by their priorities, when they go online. It will keep hosting a channel until it goes offline and then re-host a new channel afterwards.
- Continuous hosting of channels per the priority list. Once a channel goes offline, it will automatically attempt to find a new live channel to host following the priorities in the priority list.
- Due to the Twitch API sometimes being a bit slow on updating "live" status of a stream, the automatic rehost will trigger 15 seconds after a host has ended due to the channel going offline.
- Priority levels go from highest number to lowest. If no priority is specified when a channel is added, then the priority will be 0.
- Each priority level can contain either one or multiple channels.
- If the highest priority level with live channels have multiple channels currently live, it will pick a random live channel from the specific priority level.
Commands, by default, all require the users that wish to use it to be an 'admin'. Admins are specified in the config.admins array.
The format of commands will be <required parameter> and [optional parameter]. The rest are static keywords.
!addstreamer <channel name> [priority]- Adds a streamer to the list of channels to be hosted.[priority]can be any number, but if it's not specified it defaults to 0.- If a streamer is already added, this will update their

This is only really useful if you've removed a streamer from the priority list and wish to unhost when no one else is live on the priority list.
!status- Replies with who is currently being hosted, if anyone.!quit- WARNING: This will quit the application completely and requires it to be restarted for commands/hosting to function if used.

- Hotfix for crash when the bot attempts to check hosts.
- Modified how hosts are retrieved.
- Added workaround for host notifications not properly working.
- Automatic rehosting's delay has been updated from 15 seconds to 120 seconds (2 minutes), as the Twitch API seems extremely slow when it comes to updating at times.
