working chat

[tails101]

since the irc chat doesn't work anymore,it would be nice to have something to replace it. i am trying to watch twitch from a raspberry pi 4 but the site is to heavy and the thing start to lag every time the site play an animation.

You can always open Twitch chat from an IRC client on Kodi. I don’t know about it sharing the same screen though, that would require integration

see https://github.com/anxdpanic/Twitch-on-Kodi/issues/479 the devs wont fix this and suggest just use another device

I manage to open an irc chat session within the twitch addon. To work properly, you need an other oauth key created here : https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ I made a quick dirty hack by replacing this line in exec_irc_script(username, channel) (util.py file) password = get_oauth_token(token_only=False, required=True) with password ="oauth:yourpersonnalkey"

So to work properly, we have to create a parameter inside the chat irc menu parameter and create get_irc_oauth_token() for example. I will try to modify the code and then make a pull request
