Twitch VOD/Clip/Chat downloader and chat renderer I wrote.
THIS USES UNDOCUMENTED API ENDPOINTS, MAY BREAK EASILY. I'LL TRY AND UPDATE WHEN IT DOES.
- Download Twitch VODs
- Download Twitch Clips
- Download chat for VODS and Clips, in either a JSON with all the information or a simple text file
- Use a previously generated JSON chat file to render the chat with FFZ and BTTV support (including GIFS)
- Fix bugs that slipped by
- More options for chat rendering

Sorry, the GUI version is only avaliable for Windows :(
The CLI is cross platform and performs the main functions of the program. It works on Windows and Linux, but has not been tested on MacOS.
I've never really made a command line utility before so things may change in the future. If you're on Linux, make sure fontconfig and libfontconfig1 are installed (apt-get install fontconfig libfontconfig1).
For example, you could copy/paste this into a .bat file on Windows, to download a VOD, chat, and then render in a single go.
@echo off
set /p vodid="Enter VOD ID: "
TwitchDownloaderCLI -m VideoDownload --id %vodid% --ffmpeg-path "ffmpeg.exe" -o %vodid%.mp4
TwitchDownloaderCLI -m ChatDownload --id %vodid% -o %vodid%_chat.json
TwitchDownloaderCLI -m ChatRender -i %vodid%_chat.json -h 1080 -w 422 --framerate 30 --update-rate 0 --font-size 18 -o %vodid%_chat.mp4
- Go to Releases and download the latest version for Linux.
- Extract
TwitchDownloaderCLI - Browse to where you extracted the file and give it executable rights in Terminal:
sudo chmod +x TwitchDownloaderCLI
- You can now start using the donwloader, for example:
TwitchDownloaderCLI -m VideoDownload --id <vod-id-here> -o out.mp4
For Arch Linux, there's an AUR Package
