Changelog - Streamlink Twitch GUI

v1.8.1 (2019-08-09)

This is a critical bugfix release for the crashing Windows builds since v1.8.0 which downgrades the used NW.js version. See #656 for more information.

If you've already upgraded to v1.8.0, regardless the OS, you may see an NW.js downgrade error message (once) in the future. This can be ignored. Deleting the user-data-dir, which will wipe your settings and login, before upgrading to v1.8.1 and downgrading NW.js is also an option.

If you're coming from v1.7.1, you can ignore all of this.

Once again, I apologize for the inconveniences.

Please see the full changelog of the v1.8.0 release!

Since September 15th, all anonymous Twitch API requests will now be rejected. This has been announced several weeks ago and the Livestreamer Twitch GUI was upgraded in the v0.14.0 release. Unfortunately, Livestreamer did not receive any upgrades due to the inactivity of its maintainer and it is unknown if there will be any upgrades at all in the future. The only workaround for this missing change is forcing all users to log in and let Livestreamer use their Twitch OAuth token. Livestreamer Twitch GUI has always passed the user's login data to Livestreamer, which means that you're fine unless you did not log in to you Twitch account in the GUI. See #310 for more information.

Please also see #289 if you think you can help with the organization of a Livestreamer fork. There are several bugs that need to be fixed and some features/ideas that need to be implemented for a better experience. This will benefit all Livestreamer and Livestreamer Twitch GUI users, thank you!

Split up the build task into release and dev. See changelog
Added test for checking if livestreamer is set up correctly

v0.3.1 (2014-05-07)

v0.3.0 (2014-02-18)

Completely redesigned the app!

Switched to a more neutral style and also removed the scaling layout. There are some elements (like the search bar) which are not yet implemented. These will be added in later releases.

v0.2.3 (2014-02-12)

v0.2.2 (2014-02-07)

v0.2.1 (2013-12-30)

Just a patch release, no new features.

v0.2.0 (2013-12-21)

In this release I've added the settings menu so you can now set the path to where you've installed livestreamer to. You can also change the default stream quality. There is currently no validation of the user input and some more fields for customizing the videoplayer are disabled for now. I'm planning to add those things (and also the ability to choose the quality by each stream individually) in the next releases, but thats it for now.

v0.1.0 (2013-12-13)

There is not much to see, just some core functionality and some design ideas.

The only thing you can do right now is browsing the top games, top channels by game and all top channels. A click on a channel will then start a new livestreamer process with the stream quality preset "best". Please make sure that livestreamer is defined in your PATH-variable. There will be no output of this child process, so please be patient and wait for your videoplayer to start.
