v2.0.0 (2022-01-31)

Twitch Helix API

The application has been rewritten based on the Twitch Helix API.
Twitch's old Kraken API will be shut down at the end of February 2022.
⚠️ Old versions of Streamlink Twitch GUI will stop working after that! ⚠️

The switch from Kraken to Helix introduces several breaking changes and unfortunately also removes a couple of features due to the difference of both APIs and the availability of certain data. New Helix API features have not been implemented yet, as the focus of this release is to re-implement the application's entire data structure, which affects almost all of its components.

Please see issue #849 and pull request #852 for more details.

Breaking changes and feature removals

  • Authentication is now mandatory for all users.
    Data can not be retrieved anymore without user authentication on Twitch's Helix API. Due to different authentication permissions, a new login will be needed after upgrading.
  • The Featured Streams menu has been removed.
  • Games are now referenced by ID instead by name.
    Users who have set the application's homepage to a specific game will have to reset their homepage.
  • Channel follower numbers are not available anymore.
    In addition to Twitch's removal of the API endpoints on Kraken and Helix for following and unfollowing channels in August 2021.
  • Game viewers/streamers numbers are not available anymore.
  • Stream resolution+fps data is not available anymore.
  • The list of followed channels can't be sorted anymore.
  • The list of followed channels does not include the current/last stream title and game being played anymore.
  • The launch-random-stream button has been removed.
  • Searching for live streams has been removed.
    This is due to Twitch merging "live stream" and "user/channel" data in the search results. The data representation currently only shows channels instead of available live streams. This might be changed in the future.

Regular application changes and fixes

  • Changed the minimum version requirement of Streamlink to 2.4.0.
    Please upgrade Streamlink to the latest version.
  • Changed game/stream thumbnails and user profile pictures to a higher resolution.
  • Fixed the data fetch size of the infinite scroll mechanism.
    It once again depends on the application's window size.
  • Fixed additional streams sometimes not being fetched, even if more data was available.
    This was caused by an unfixed bug in Twitch's Kraken API and how the infinite scroll mechanism was implemented.
  • Fixed followed channels menu not loading additional channels correctly.
    This was caused by an unfixed bug in Twitch's Kraken API.
  • Fixed StartupWMClass attribute in the Linux launcher files. (#839)
  • Upgraded NW.js to 0.60.0 (Chromium 97.0.4692.71 / NodeJS 17.3.0)
  • [dev] Bumped min. NodeJS requirement to 14.

Changelog

v1.13.0 (2021-09-09)

  • Implemented Spanish translations (es) (#818)
  • Implemented Italian translations (it) (#823)
  • Fixed context menu position on displays with fractional scaling (#817)
  • Fixed HTML tags being escaped in translations
  • Fixed Windows uninstaller not removing some directories
  • Fixed French translations (#826)
  • Upgraded NW.js to 0.55.0 (Chromium 92.0.4515.107 / NodeJS 16.4.2)

Changelog

v1.12.0 (2021-08-08)

  • Replaced buttons for following and subscribing channels (#813)
    Twitch has decided to shut down the follow-channel API endpoints, which means that 3rd party applications using their public APIs won't be able to follow or unfollow channels anymore. As a workaround, the buttons have been replaced with one that opens the channel page on Twitch.tv in the system's web browser.
    Please see the comment on issue #813 and the commit message of 402cab1 for all the details and how you can help make Twitch restore this feature again via their feedback tracker. Thank you!

Changelog

v1.9.0 (2019-11-23)

This release mainly focuses on fixing the recent issues related to the breaking changes of Twitch's API. Since the situation wasn't 100% clear for the first couple of days, we had to wait until we were able to make a proper decision.

For Streamlink Twitch GUI, this means that a couple of features had to be removed, unfortunately. If Twitch decides to make the API endpoints available to third party app developers which were required by the removed features, I will be more than happy to re-implement them.

Support for Livestreamer has also finally been removed. If you were still using Livestreamer, you will have to install and use Streamlink now.

  • ⚠️ Set Streamlink's version requirement to 1.3.0.
    Upgrade to the latest Streamlink version here or see the wiki.

  • Updated donation links and texts.

Changelog

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!

v0.2.3 (2014-02-12)

Changelog

v0.2.2 (2014-02-07)

Changelog

v0.2.1 (2013-12-30)

Just a patch release, no new features.

Changelog

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.

Changelog

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.
