Twitch for VLC is a playlist plugin for VLC that parses Twitch streams' and past broadcasts' URLs.
Someone just had to do it.
To install the plugin, download twitch.lua and place it into %VLC install dir%\lua\playlist
.
- Open a VLC instance.
- Paste or drag and drop a Twitch stream or past broadcast URL.
Thanks to Johannes Bader for providing a quick explanation on how to get Twitch video URLs (http://www.johannesbader.ch/2014/01/find-video-url-of-twitch-tv-live-streams-or-past-broadcasts/).
Thanks to Fons Leenaars for documenting the new HLS format used by past broadcasts (https://github.com/fonsleenaars/twitch-hls-vods).
