Info

Because of changes in the Twitch API it is no longer possible to use the external IP to view the Twitch Stream without a valid SSL certificate.

It is still possible to view the stream at localhost:8080 and control it using your external IP.

But there is now a better solution. Instead of downloading the stream-server and running it locally you can use a cloud-hosted virtual instance:

stream-server.ga

https://your-instance-name.stream-server.ga is your own virtual stream-server instance that you can use to watch streams and control it in your app. More info at https://stream-server.ga

Common Errors

  • listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: bind: permission denied

    The port range below 1024 is restricted on *nix systems to superusers (more info).
    Either run as superuser sudo ./stream-server -p 80 or change the port.

  • listen tcp 0.0.0.0:8080: bind: address already in use

    Something is already using the port. This could be another Stream Server instance or some other application (like a webserver).
    Close / disable the other service or change the port via the command-line options.
