To populate the guide, there are now two options. However, as of Feb 2023, Twitch is restricting access to user follow data. Twitch2tuner uses the channels that you follow on Twitch as the basis for the guide. Click New Secret to generate a new Client Secret. Click Manage to get back into the application editor.Fill out Name and Category with anything you choose.The first requirement is to gain access to the Twitch API by creating a new application. Other features of the guide include the game art as the show art, the current stream description as the show description, and a dot plus the name of the game as the show title for quickly identifying live streams in the guide. See the caveats section for more info about the limitations of the guide. Of course, this data will be updated as the guide updates. Offline streams are always shown as being offline for 24 hours. Live streams are listed as starting at the correct time in the past but ending in 24 hours. Since stream end times (and future stream start times) are unknown, the guide is very imprecise. The channel listings are based on the Twitch channels followed by a particular user (set your username as an environment variable when running the container). Together, it allows Plex to show Twitch streams as guide listings and play them on any supported Plex client with limited recording functionality. The service acts as an HDHomeRun (m3u) tuner and also provides an XMLTV Electronic Program Guide (EPG). Inspired by the likes of locast2plex and locast2tuner (formerly locast2dvr) and the fact that there is no officially supported way to watch Twitch on a Roku device, twitch2tuner aims to present live Twitch streams as channels within Plex's Live TV and DVR feature.
