Twitch to TV Two
Well, so this has been an interesting couple of months. A friend of mine suggested I look into TwitchToTuner(T2T) for my Twitch woes. After a quick setup on my local K3s cluster, and some hurdles, It has (for me) replaced my need of Twoku in most cases.
I say for me because while I enjoy watching the stream and interacting on my phone, My wife prefers to have the community chat on the screen where she can read it as she watches. So we "often" still flip back to Twoku so she can read the chat.
The other "major" I have that drives me back to Twoku is that the purpose of the T2T is to broadcast live streams to plex. This means that if I'm busy one day, and miss one of my streamers I have no way with T2T to go back and rewatch, or catch up on a stream that I missed. As we "speak" I'm trying to catch up on a RichardThornton stream, as I often miss his streams due to timezone discrepancies.
This doesn't mean that my experience with T2T has been squeaky clean. Most of my issues have been that T2T on boot (unless configured to do otherwise) requests a OAuth permission set to twitch. This isn't a big issue for most users, but for me it always happened at the worst times. I suspect this was because the cluster would move it from node to node to balance workload, but this would also restart the docker image, and need another authentication. Other issues boiled down to the image crashing for various reasons, all fixed by a simple restart.
One fix that I recently learned to try and address the biggest issue is the existence of the "CHANNELS_FOLLOWED" environment variable. I'm not sure if i glossed over that config property when I first read the setup, or ignored it believing that the container wouldn't reboot as much as it does. I recently enacted that property, but have not had it running long enough to know if it fixed the issues above.
Overall, I think that T2T is a great alternative for live streams, and would recommend you to check it out, if you're in the market for a way to watch Twitch on your TV.
