Add support for Saving OAuth
Currently the OAuth is not saved because settings are stored in plaintext, and it would be a possible attack vector to save the login and password in plaintext. In a future version, I might implement some cryptographic services, but I haven't decided on a secure way to store and retrieve the OAuth primarily due to the open source nature of this project, so for now this is also on the back burner. There is no ETA.
I know you've basically abandon this project in favor of OVRDrop but I only need the chat feature and I've been told that never really made it to OVRDrop. One of the only frustrations I have with this version is the lack of OAuth saving (even save it in plain text or atleast give us the option to) because atm I use a bloody text file with it saved anyways because I don't want to have to get a new one for every stream.
Turns out you don't even need to login, though. Since you cannot send chat with OVRTC there isn't much need to. I believe if you use the Username and OAuth boxes both blank, it just logs you in as an anonymous user. I might be mistaken.
Just tested -- Yup. Since there's no input there isn't really a purpose for logging in yet, so I would just enter a channel name and leave the Username and OAuth boxes blank. This log you in as JustinFan#####, which is how Twitch allows anonymous login.
I'd like to login as myself so as not to effect the viewer count. I'm just starting to stream and want to know as close as I can when and how many people are watching because I'm not getting much response on chat and I want to be as interactive as possible.
Alright, I'll see about adding the option to save, but the reason I didn't do so already is the security concern. It's not a great idea to save what is effectively a password as plaintext, but since you're doing so anyway, it's maybe not such a big concern to you if OVRTC does so as well.
Thank you I apologize if it is a really stupid request but my OCD feels better being logged in as me even if I can't chat through it haha
