README.md

Description

A Dashing widget to add live twitch streams to your dashboard.

Note that this is not really a productive widget (unless you are a streamer, I suppose). Our's is in the break room with weather and news widgets.

Usage

Make a folder called 'twitch' in your widgets directory. Add twitch.html and twitch.coffee to the twitch folder.

Add the widget HTML to your dashboard

    <li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="3" data-sizey="2">
        <div data-id="twitch" data-view="Twitch"></div>
    </li>

Use the following to switch channels:

curl -d '{ "auth_token": "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN", "channel": "CHANNELNAME" }' \http://host:3030/widgets/twitch

if you have curl for windows in your path, you can use the batch file to make it easy!

channel.bat

@echo off
echo Enter Channel Name
setlocal
set /p channel=
curl -d {"""auth_token""":"""YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN""","""channel""":"""%channel%"""} http://host:3030/widgets/twitch

twitch.coffee

class Dashing.Twitch extends Dashing.Widget

twitch.html

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="700" width="990" id="live_embed_player_flash" data-bind-data="channel | prepend 'http://www.twitch.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf?start_volume=50&amp;channel='"></object>

Could I use this to pull in top twitch game / player data?

where do I enter the twich channel?
