#Orion

QML/C++-written desktop client for Twitch.tv

Features:

• Login by twitch credentials
• Desktop notifications
• Integrated player
• Chat support
• Support for live streams and vods

##Screencaptures

##Dependencies

• mpv (default), qtav or qt5-multimedia

• libcommuni

##Building on linux

(Using arch linux examples, but can be applied to other distros as well)

####Install needed libraries and software

sudo pacman -S git gcc qt5-base qt5-quickcontrols qt5-svg qt5-webengine mpv

If using backend other than mpv, install those packages instead.

####Choosing player backend (optional) To select a backend used, pass CONFIG-variable a suitable backend for qmake (alternatively edit straight to .pro file):

• MPV: CONFIG+=mpv
• QtAV: CONFIG+=qtav
• Qt5 Multimedia: CONFIG+=multimedia

As default, mpv is used (if nothing is passed)

####Get libcommuni, build and install it:

git clone https://github.com/communi/libcommuni
cd libcommuni
qmake
make
sudo make install

####Get orion from github

git clone https://github.com/alamminsalo/orion
cd orion
mkdir build && cd build
qmake ../
make

If all goes well, orion/build directory should now contain a working binary named 'orion'!

By running 'run.sh', a desktop entry is created for the menus also

##Windows troubleshooting

You need Visual C++ 2015-runtime installed.

Installer can be found in the application's install directory (I'll make it install automatically in the next version)

##Known issues

• If network goes down while Orion is running, the images stop loading until application restart. Otherwise the application should work fine after network is back up
• Sometimes the stream hangs and doesn't load on start. Restarting the stream should work
