Send an ffmpeg test pattern stream to a Twitch channel controlled by chat commands.

Install Node.js and ffmpeg on the system and set up the .env file from the .env.example file.

$ git clone git@github.com:alcadesign/autostreamer-bot.git
$ cd autostreamer-bot
$ npm install

• INGEST_REGION - The region of the preferred ingest server. The default is "live-sfo". See the Twitch Ingests page for a list of possible regions.
• STREAM_KEY - A Twitch stream key to authenticate with.
• TWITCH_OWNER_ID - The user ID of the owner/controller account.
• TWITCH_BOT_USER - The username of the bot account.
• TWITCH_BOT_TOKEN - The token of the bot account. Needs the required scopes for sending messages to chat.
• TWITCH_BOT_CHANNEL - The name of the channel to listen to in chat.

The basic way to run it is just using Node:

$ node index.js

This bot could be set up using any daemon like service, systemctl, or Node- based daemons like pm2 or forever.

• Ensure required environment variables are available.
• Catch possible tmi.js errors from client.say or if the credentials don't pass logging in.
• Allow anonymous (and/or silent) chat integration.
• Better permission system.
• Ensure ffmpeg is installed.
• Ensure the stream actually starts and stops.
• Investigate child_process errors.
• Expand upon README.
• Think of more Todo's.
